Attention all Runners! Welcome to Elevation Physiotherapy, your destination in Edmonton for the management of running injuries.
Running injuries can range from minor discomfort to more painful conditions that affect your ability to stay active and enjoy your favorite sport. Our team can assess and address these issues through personalized treatment plans tailored to your needs. A Running Gait analysis can be used to evaluate the way you walk or run to identify any abnormalities or biomechanical inefficiencies that may contribute to injuries. Our goal is to uncover underlying issues and develop strategies to optimize your movement, reduce pain, and enhance your performance. At Elevation Physiotherapy, we are dedicated to helping you overcome your running injuries and improve your overall well-being through diligent care and innovative solutions.
A Running Gait Analysis begins first with a rigorous physiotherapy assessment in order for us to learn about your goals, injuries or condition. Ideally, you should be able to run relatively pain-free for about 10 minutes on a treadmill. Within this session, a video analysis of your running form will be observed as you run on a treadmill.
No. A Running Gait Analysis is of much longer duration than a regular Physiotherapy Assessment, given the time it takes to observe your running gait pattern and its analysis and discussion with you thereafter. If you are experiencing pain with running, then it is best that you schedule a regular Physiotherapy Assessment first and not a Running Gait Analysis.
