The Running Assessment The full running assessment encompasses a full range of evaluation and analysis. We'll direct you in the best way to deal with injuries and suggest programs that can get you back to running as quickly as possible. A full assessment will include the following list of elements: Biomechanical Analysis Joint motion, muscle strength and flexibility imbalances Body and Foot Structure Analysis Running orthotic assessment Running shoe assessment Running Form Analysis Improving efficiency / symmetry to reduce injury Exercise Program Based on biomechanical and structural analysis Orthotic Fabrication Semi-custom and custom orthotics Return to Running Program A program designed to get you back to running

Each Assessment Includes

Running Injury History Intake Form:
Information pertaining to all the factors that may have an influence on current or possible future injuries.

Biomechanical Assessment:
Gait evaluation assessing joint integrity, balance, strength and flexibility while keeping the body in a running/walking functional environment (keeping the body in an upright position with feet on the ground with and the body being influenced by its own weight and gravitational forces).

Foot Assessment:
Joint integrity, foot biomechanics and orthotic assessment. Often the correct orthotic is essential to healing injury or preventing future injuries.

Running/Walking Assessment:
Running/walking form, efficiency and biomechanical assessment.
