Assessments are practical, individual, and grounded in how you actually run—not how you’re “supposed” to look.
What Is Running Gait Analysis?
Running gait analysis is a structured assessment of how you move while running.
This includes looking at:
Foot strike and ground contact
Cadence and stride patterns
Hip, knee, and ankle alignment
Upper body posture and arm movement
How your form changes under fatigue
The goal isn’t to overhaul everything—it’s to identify the key areas that will have the biggest impact.

Runners dealing with recurring niggles or injuries
Trail runners wanting more efficiency on climbs and descents
New runners building good habits early
Experienced runners looking for marginal gains
