Running Gait Assessment

Running is becoming increasingly more popular, especially amongst middle-aged women. In Townsville we’ve experienced a huge attraction towards trail running and adventurethons.

Whilst running has numerous health benefits, it is also associated with a high rate of injury. In a 12 month period, upwards of 60% of runners may succumb to a running injury which will put them out for a period of time. And quite ironically, the weakest part of a runner’s body is often their lower legs and feet!

At Foundation Podiatry we offer both experienced and novice runners a detailed Running Gait Assessment, which involves:

• Medical and exercise history taking
• Comprehensive Biomechanical Assessment
• Footwear assessment and recommendations
• Running gait assessment on treadmill and outdoors
• Mobility, proprioception and strength exercises
• Running technique tips

The primary goal of our Running Gait Assessment is to identify any potential biomechanical weakness or imbalances which may increase your risk of injury. From there we can focus on improving your running efficiency which will allow you to train and compete at your very best - and have fun while doing it!
