Running is one of the most rewarding forms of exercise, but it also comes with a risk of injuries. Whether you’re training for a marathon, running for fitness, or just starting out, you may experience issues such as shin splints, plantar fasciitis, runner’s knee, IT band syndrome, or Achilles tendon pain. Many of these injuries are linked to biomechanics—the way your body moves when you run. That’s where GAIT Analysis at Nobleton Physiotherapy comes in.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Your GAIT Analysis begins with a one-on-one consultation with one of our experienced physiotherapists. We’ll discuss your:
Running history and training goals
Past and current injuries
Footwear and running surfaces
Any pain or discomfort you’ve been experiencing
This step ensures that we tailor the assessment to your unique needs.
Step 2: Video & Movement Assessment
Next, we record your walking and running patterns using high-definition video analysis. You’ll run on a treadmill or walk across a flat surface while we capture your:
Foot strike (heel, midfoot, or forefoot)
Stride length & cadence
Hip, knee, and ankle alignment
Posture & core stability
This detailed footage allows us to slow down the movement frame-by-frame, spotting even the smallest irregularities in your biomechanics.
Step 3: Clinical Testing
Alongside video analysis, we may perform strength, flexibility, and balance tests. These help identify muscular imbalances, tightness, or weaknesses that may be contributing to your injuries.
Step 4: Results & Personalized Plan
After the assessment, your physiotherapist will review the findings with you in detail. You’ll receive a personalized treatment and training plan that may include:
Targeted physiotherapy exercises
Strength and mobility training
Running technique adjustments
Shoe or orthotic recommendations
Recovery strategies to prevent future injuries
