A running assessment is a great way to get ahead of potential problems, even if you are currently running without pain.
Physiotherapists are trained to understand biomechanics, which means we look at more than individual muscles or joints. We look at how the whole body moves and how different areas work together during running.
Certain movement patterns can repeatedly place more stress on one part of the body. This does not mean that every difference in your running form will cause an injury, but it can show us where your body may need more strength, control, or support as your training increases.
By screening your movement before pain develops, we can identify areas that may be taking on too much load and address them early. This can be especially helpful if you are increasing your mileage, preparing for a race, returning after time away, or starting a new training program.
