Running Gait Analysis

Understand your running.
Find your way forward.

A niggle that keeps returning. A change in your stride since an injury. Or uncertainty about how to build your running back up.

When running isn’t feeling right, it helps to look at the bigger picture. At Motion, we use video analysis alongside a clinical assessment to understand how you move and what may be relevant to your symptoms and goals.

Whether you’re working towards your first 5K or getting back to longer distances, we’ll help you make sense of what to do next.

It starts with you

More than watching you run.

Your stride is one part of the picture. We’ll also talk about what has changed, how much running you’re doing and what you want to get back to.

A busy training block, a return after time away or a problem that appears at a particular distance can all give us useful context. We’ll consider what you tell us alongside the assessment, rather than treating a video clip as a diagnosis.

How we help

A closer look at how you move.

We use video to help explain your running pattern. Depending on your symptoms and what is appropriate to assess, this may include:

  • How your feet contact the ground
  • Step length and cadence
  • Hip, knee and pelvic movement
  • Posture and upper-body movement
  • Relevant strength and mobility
  • How your running fits with your current training

Clear answers. Practical changes.

A plan for your running.

We’ll explain which findings seem relevant and agree what is worth working on. Your plan may include strengthening, mobility work, a gradual adjustment to training or a running cue to practise.

There isn’t one running style that everyone should copy. A change should have a clear purpose, suit your situation and be reviewed as you try it. Gait analysis cannot promise an injury-free season or a faster race time.

Make the appointment useful

Bring your goals. And your running shoes.

Wear comfortable clothing you can move in and bring the shoes you normally run in. Think about when the problem appears, recent changes to your training and the runs you’re hoping to return to.

If pain is stopping you from running at all, tell us when you book. We can start by assessing the problem and decide when looking at your running would be useful; you don’t need to push through it to make the appointment worthwhile.

A plan that makes sense for you

Turn the findings into your next steps.

The useful part is what you can do with the information afterwards. We’ll agree a manageable starting point and explain how to approach the changes we recommend.

If you need further rehabilitation, we can build towards the demands of your running. If another assessment or investigation is more appropriate, we’ll explain why. Progress will depend on your symptoms, goals and response, rather than a fixed timetable.
