A running assessment is a detailed analysis of your gait, biomechanics, and movement patterns to help you run more efficiently, comfortably, and safely. Unlike generic running advice or app-based gait checks, our assessments are conducted by expert podiatrists who understand the complex relationship between your feet, legs, and whole-body movement.
Whether you’re dealing with recurring running injuries, aiming to improve your technique, or looking to boost your overall performance, our specialists use advanced motion analysis to identify inefficiencies and uncover the root cause of pain or discomfort.
From beginners to seasoned athletes, our running assessments are tailored specifically to your goals helping you run stronger, run smarter, and run injury-free.
We begin with an in-depth biomechanical assessment, including video gait analysis, strength testing, and mobility screening to understand how your body moves during running.
Using advanced motion-tracking technology, we assess your running form, foot strike, cadence, and posture to identify inefficiencies and pinpoint the root cause of pain or reduced performance.
Based on your results, we create a tailored plan that may include strength programs, mobility work, footwear recommendations, and running technique corrections—designed to help you move better and reduce injury risk.
We track your progress with follow-up sessions, refine your technique, and make adjustments as needed to ensure lasting improvements and confident, injury-free running.
A comprehensive evaluation ideal for runners of all levels. We analyse your gait, foot strike, cadence, and overall biomechanics to identify inefficiencies and prevent future injuries.
Great for: improving technique, reducing discomfort, and building a strong running foundation.
Designed for athletes aiming to enhance speed, endurance, and running economy. This assessment focuses on advanced metrics, posture refinement, cadence optimisation, and performance-driven corrections.
Perfect for: competitive runners and those training for events.
Created for runners experiencing recurring injuries or chronic discomfort. We uncover the root cause of issues like shin splints, knee pain, Achilles problems, and hip instability with detailed biomechanical analysis.
Best for: those wanting long-term, injury-free running.
Designed specifically for younger runners and active kids. We evaluate developmental mechanics, alignment, and movement patterns to prevent injury and support healthy growth.
Ideal for: young athletes and children experiencing pain while running.
A professional running assessment gives you a deeper understanding of how your body moves, helping you address the root cause of pain, inefficiencies, and recurring injuries. Experience the performance, comfort, and long-term health benefits that come from analysing and improving your running technique.
Many health insurance plans with podiatry or physiotherapy extras provide rebates for running assessments. Coverage varies, so we recommend checking with your insurer before your appointment.
Most runners notice improvements in comfort, efficiency, or technique within 1–3 sessions, depending on consistency and the nature of their goals.
Absolutely. Running assessments are designed to identify the underlying cause of issues such as shin splints, knee pain, hip discomfort, and Achilles problems, helping guide effective treatment and prevention.
A gait scan captures only foot pressure patterns, while a running assessment provides a full-body biomechanical analysis, including posture, cadence, technique, strength, and mobility.
No referral is needed you can book directly. However, if you are under a GP management plan or working with another practitioner, we can integrate our findings into your care.
