Running Assessments

A running assessment at Modern Sports Physio and Wellness Centre serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it helps to identify any mechanical inefficiencies or imbalances that may be contributing to discomfort or injury during your run. It also aims to enhance your performance by improving your running technique. 

Our experienced physiotherapist, Vicki, will assess your running style, gait, and foot placement among other key factors. They will then provide you with individualized recommendations on how to modify your running mechanics for better efficiency and injury prevention.

Anyone who runs regularly, whether for leisure, fitness, or competition, should consider a running assessment. This includes seasoned athletes, amateur runners, and even those just starting out with running. The assessment is especially beneficial for those experiencing pain or discomfort when running, or those who have had recurrent injuries. It's also an excellent resource for runners looking to improve their performance. 

At Modern Sports Physio and Wellness Centre, we believe that an efficient running technique is key to a successful and injury-free running journey.

During your running assessment, our trained physiotherapist, Vicki, will first discuss your running history and any specific concerns or goals you may have. We'll then observe your running style on a treadmill or in real-world conditions if possible. 

We look at various factors like foot strike, stride length, cadence, body posture, and more. Based on these observations, we'll provide feedback and recommendations for improving your running mechanics. The aim is not only to make running more comfortable and efficient but also to reduce the risk of future injuries.
