“Never limit where running can take you. I mean that geographically, spiritually, and of course, physically.”

Gait Analysis and Running Technique Coaching

Did you know that 50% of runners experience an injury every year that prevents them from running for an extended period of time.  Around 70-80% of these injuries are caused by overuse.

The first important aspect to look at when assessing why a runner is injured is training load.  Increasing volume and or intensity to quickly very often results in overuse injuries.

If excessive training load has been ruled out, then looking at how a person moves is also important.

Although running is a very natural form of human locomotion, our modern day sedentary lifestyles often result in poor movement patterns, mobility and strength.

Running is a co-ordinated movement requiring the upper and lower body to work together without restriction.  Our bodies evolved to move and sitting for long periods of time has led us to develop poor movement patterns which often lead to injuries.

Gait Analysis 60 mins £75

If you’re struggling with injuries, then the first thing to do is book a gait analysis session.

The sessions are 60 mins and I do a full assessment of your running and how you move.

I prefer not to do gait analysis on the treadmill as it isn’t always a true representation on how you run outside.

What’s included in a gait analysis?

* The session will start with a brief discussion about your running history, goals and training.

* I will take you through some strength, mobility and movement exercises to make an initial assessment of any weaknesses, restrictions, imbalances or movement disfunctions.

* Next we will do a running assessment using video analysis and gait analysis technology from RunEasi that can measure dynamic stability, Impact loading and symmetry.

* I will talk you through all the findings from the RunEasi reports and go through a detailed analysis of the videos taken.

* The Runeasi reports and a written report from the video analysis will be emailed to you.

Running Technique Course 5 x 60 mins £250

This 5 session course includes and initial gait analysis and then 4 x 60 mins coached sessions to help you work on anything identified in the gait analysis.

The sessions will include a variety of strength, mobility and running drills tailored to your individual needs.

You will also be given exercises and drills to do outside of the sessions.

In the final session, we will do another gait analysis using video analysis and the RunEasi technology to measure your progress.
