A running gait analysis is a detailed look at how your whole body moves while you run.
We assess the usual things, such as cadence, stride, and foot strike, but we do not stop at the legs. We also look at how your trunk moves, how your arms swing, and how your hips and pelvis control each step.
This helps us understand how you load each leg and whether one side may be taking on more work than the other. Sometimes the area that hurts is not the part contributing to the problem. The way your upper body moves, for example, may be increasing the load through one leg.
