OPTION 1
Advanced Running Injury Assessment
Our Advanced Running Injury Assessment combines cutting-edge technology with expert physiotherapy to deliver the most comprehensive evaluation of your running mechanics available today. (120 mins)
We follow a 4 part process for this assessment which includes:
- A Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Assessment
- Dynamometry Strength Testing
- Force Plate Analysis (VALD ForceDecks)
- Video‑Motion Treadmill Gait Analysis
OPTION 2
Essential Running Injury Assessment
The Essential Running Injury Assessment is a shorter assessment but maintains a high quality musculoskeletal examination and a deep dive into your running gait, and how these may be contributing to an injury. (60 min)
This session will include:
- A Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Assessment
- Video‑Motion Treadmill Gait Analysis
Here’s what to expect:
A COMPREHENSIVE MUSCULOSKELETAL ASSESSMENT
Our physiotherapists begin with a detailed, whole‑body musculoskeletal examination to identify the underlying factors contributing to pain, inefficiencies, or recurrent injuries.
This assessment typically includes:
- Joint mobility and range‑of‑motion testing
- Neuromuscular control and movement pattern analysis
- Specific testing for common running‑related conditions
This foundation allows us to understand how your body functions off the treadmill before analysing how it behaves when running.
STRENGTH TESTING USING
DYNAMOMETRY
To accurately measure muscle strength, we use hand‑held dynamometry — an objective and reliable tool used in modern sports physiotherapy.
This allows us to assess:
- How strong specific muscles are
- Differences between your left and right side
- Strength relative to your body weight
- Hidden weaknesses that may affect your running
By measuring real force output rather than relying on guesswork, dynamometry helps us identify strength deficits that could increase injury risk or limit performance. These clear measurements guide targeted rehab and allow us to track your progress over time with confidence.
FORCE PLATE ANALYSIS
This section takes the assessment to an elite level. We integrate VALD ForceDecks — the industry-leading dual force plate system used by professional sports teams and research institutions.
This technology provides objective, real-time data on:
- Ground reaction forces
- Symmetry between limbs
- Loading and landing strategies
- Rate of force development
- Jump, hop, and stability performance metrics
These insights allow us to identify subtle deficits and compensations that cannot be seen clinically or on video alone. VALD’s precision helps guide tailored rehab plans and tracks your progress with measurable results.
VIDEO-MOTION TREADMILL GAIT ANALYIS
We use high‑definition, slow‑motion video technology to capture your running technique from multiple angles while you run on our professional-grade treadmill.
This analysis helps us assess:
- Foot strike pattern
- Cadence and stride length
- Lower‑limb alignment
- Pelvic and trunk control
- Overstride, braking forces, and efficiency
- Head carriage and arm swing
By reviewing your footage frame‑by‑frame, we can pinpoint exactly how your movement patterns may be contributing to pain, reduced performance, or increased injury risk.
Who are these assessments for?
- Runners with persistent or recurrent injuries
- Athletes preparing for races or increasing training load
- Individuals recovering from injury who want to return to running safely
- Anyone seeking to improve running efficiency and performance
- Runners who want a deeper understanding of their biomechanics
After your assessment, you will receive:
- A clear explanation of your running biomechanics
- VALD ForceDecks performance metrics
- High‑definition video clips showing your gait deviations
- A personalised rehabilitation plan
- Technique recommendations to enhance efficiency and reduce injury risk
- A progressive return‑to‑running or performance development programme (if required)
Book your assessment today and run stronger, smarter, and more confidently.
