Running Assessment
Whether you are a novice runner just starting to run for fun, or an avid marathon runner, this hour-long assessment conducted by a specially trained physiotherapist may help you either prevent injuries or improve your performance and running efficiency.
This running assessment conducted by a physiotherapist involves a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's running technique, biomechanics, strength, flexibility, and any potential areas of concern or injury risk. The assessment typically begins with a discussion about the individual's running history, training regimen, and any past or current injuries.
Next, the physiotherapist may conduct a series of tests to assess the individual's flexibility, muscle strength, joint mobility, and posture. During this process, they may observe the individual's running gait either in person or through video analysis to identify any abnormalities or inefficiencies.
Based on the findings, the physiotherapist will provide personalized recommendations, which may include corrective exercises, stretches, strengthening exercises, footwear advice, or modifications to the individual's running technique. The goal of the assessment is to optimize the individual's running mechanics, reduce the risk of injury, and enhance overall performance.
