Running Gait Analysis
Running gait analysis uses video to look at how you run and find the form problems behind running injuries or slower times. At Logos Physical Therapy in Perth Amboy and Somerville, New Jersey, Mina Massak, PT, DPT, is a Certified Running and Gait Analysis Specialist through the RunDNA Helix System.
What happens in a running assessment
The goal is movement that is more efficient and easier on your body.
Video from several angles
Your form is recorded and reviewed in slow motion, so we can see how you land and how your hips and trunk move.
A strength and mobility screen
Tight or weak areas often explain the form problem.
Findings and form cues
You leave with specific cues, an exercise program and shoe advice. Bring your running shoes.
Who it is for
- Injured runners, to find out why the injury happened
- New runners who want to start well
- Runners training for a race
- Active patients who want to reduce injury risk and improve performance
