What's involved our Runners Assessment?

Each of our running assessments are slightly different. Why? Because your running experience, injury history & biomechanics are different.
But a framework for what we will provide is as follows:

1. History

How long have you been running?
What are your goals?
Road / Trail / Multisport (e.g. Triathlon or CrossFit)?
What injuries have you experienced?

These are all important piece of information that will help us decide what we may need to investigate further

2. ​Technique / Gait Analysis

Assessment involves an outdoor gait analysis using the RunScribe system​.

We look at multiple factors such as foot-strike, cadence, body kinematics & the effect of fatigue on your running gait.
​We can discuss changes that can be made to possibly help improve economy, or that may have contributed to a previous or current injury.

3. Mobility

More flex is more better? Not so fast.

There is an optimal amount of joint mobility for running.
​We take objective measures to identify where you're not mobile enough & where is too mobile.

4. Strength

Strength?! But I'm a runner...
​
Strength has been shown to improve running efficiency and potentially reduce certain types of injuries.
​We utilise hand dynamometry and force-plates to objectively identify areas of weakness and track your progress
