RUNNING ASSESSMENT

Running is one of the easiest and most common ways to stay fit. Unfortunately, running injuries are common and can affect the hips, knees, ankles, and feet.   A running gait assessment can help to reduce the risk of injury by exploring any biomechanical insufficiency that may predispose you to injury.  Through digitally capturing your running gait frame by frame, we can identify areas that could lead to injury and effect your sporting ability.  Equally as important, we look at your training loads in order to ensure your body’s capabilities match the demanded load.

FAQ

Q. I have been doing my rehab elsewhere – can I still do a ‘pitch ready’ test?

Q. At what stage can I complete a test?
A. This will depend on your specific injury and the stage of rehabilitation you are at. You can discuss this with a member of our team or with your physiotherapist/orthopaedic specialist if you have been receiving rehabilitation elsewhere.
