Running gait analysis
The RunningSmart assessments are powerful tools that examine various aspects of your running profile.
From running injuries and gait analysis to strength testing biokinetic assessments, it is an opportunity to identify your running strengths and weaknesses.
Available at both the Durbanville and Cape Town practices, we integrate with coaches, physios and biokineticists in these areas.
Running assessments include testing muscle strength, mobility, and stability, as well as analysing your running gait, running shoes, and training habits.
So whether you’re a beginner looking for a starting point or a seasoned runner aiming to improve, an assessment is a good place to begin your journey.
RunningSmart offers tailored running-specific exercise programs in a variety of convenient forms. From group sessions in Durbanville, one-on-one sessions in Cape Town or home programs online.
Whether you do group sessions or home programs, your training is tailored to your needs – from injury prevention to running performance.
Identify your target problem areas by either an in-person biokinetic assessment or online consultation.
If you’re a recreational runner or an injured runner looking to return to running, a tailored running program simplifies the science of running so you can focus on the joy of running.
Online running coaching allows just that: A supervised and personalised running plan to cater to your specific needs. This allows you to eliminate the worry about the science behind it all.
Whether you are a beginner looking to start your running journey or looking to do your first marathon, the process is specifically tuned to your goals, schedule and progress.
Running Injury Assessments consist of biomechanical testing (muscle strength, joint mobility, etc.) and running gait analysis by a biokineticist to get clarity on running injuries. These results help determine the rehabilitation exercises and necessary treatment path to get you back to running.
We partner with a multidisciplinary team of biokineticists, physiotherapists and doctors to help you understand the issue and guide you back to running with evidence-based treatment.
Injury assessments and consultations are available at both the Durbanville and Cape Town practices.
