Running gait analysis

At REP Physiotherapy, our running gait analysis helps you understand how your body moves and whether your running technique may be contributing to your current injury or increasing your risk of future problems. By combining gait analysis with a detailed clinical assessment, we create a personalised exercise programme and, when appropriate, offer guidance on subtle adjustments to your running style.

Using high‑quality slow‑motion video, we assess your running mechanics across all three planes of movement. We examine how your trunk, pelvis, hips, knees, and ankles behave throughout the gait cycle, paying close attention to:

• Foot strike position relative to your body
• How your foot moves as it loads and pushes off
• How effectively your body absorbs impact forces

We review the footage with you in detail, explaining the key findings and what they mean for your performance, efficiency, and injury risk. This analysis is often included as part of our physiotherapy service.
