Find out what is causing the problem and solve it with our RunFit service.
Includes:
Chat over injury history and current training plan
Movement and muscle screening tests that are specific to running
Tuck Jump test to assess lower limb biomechanics
Gait analysis on treadmill using movement analysis software
Gait analysis outdoors using Leomo motion sensor technology as this allows for a more realistic assessment and insight into the many metrics involved in running.
Running metrics such as vertical oscillation, landing pattern (foot strike), thigh swing speed, ground contact time and cadence are measured. These are all connected to running form and technique.
For instance, research shows that running with a cadence less than 166 steps per minute is linked with 6 fold increase in shin pain vs cadence of 178 and above.
An increase of 5% in step rate results in a decrease of 20% in knee joint load. We know that a cadence of 171 and above will reduce risk of knee pain.
Simple cues are given that are shown to result in positive changes to your running
