Run & Gait Analysis

Whether you’re just starting your running journey or you’ve been running for decades… a video analysis of your running form could be the answer you never knew you needed!  Running with better form offers multiple benefits, from making running more enjoyable to reducing your risk of injuries.

Powered by RunDNA, we are one of the only providers in the state of Michigan able to give you this highly advanced analysis.  It’s completely individualized around you and you’ll get a personalized corrective program to help you fix/adjust the findings from your scan.  RunDNA utilizes 3-D scan technology for the highest level of accuracy in measuring your running gait biomechanics. Running technique is dynamic and complex, with lots of moving parts…why not make sure yours is top notch!

Why gait analysis?

At a basic level, a gait analysis will look at how a runner moves. While we tend to develop our own running styles, some elements of our technique can put a limit on how fast or long we are able to run. Poor technique can also increase the likelihood of injury. By performing a detailed analysis of your technique, we can identify some of your key potential risk factors to address with a corrective program.

Biomechanics

This can often be a catch-all term, but in this context, we are referring to a measurement of the changes in the positions of your body and the joints while running. Our 3D technology (high-tech cameras and sensors) captures the details of your running biomechanics and is the gold standard for obtaining specific measurements of your knee, hips, foot, etc. as they move through your gait cycle.
