Gait Analysis

THIS SERVICE IS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

For road running purposes we recommend a motion gait analysis.

This service is £20 or free of charge when purchasing trainers on the same day.

Gait analysis takes approximately half an hour and involves a few 20 second runs on the treadmill.

Please wear or bring along any running shoes that you have been using, as well as your shorts or tights; we have a changing room in store.

Below is an example of the gait analysis:

In this image, we have a runner who is averaging at 5-10k per week, looking to up their mileage. As you can see on the left picture (before) we have an extreme over pronation of 11.4 degrees, which can be detrimental to the foot and ankle ligaments, knees and hips as this young male progresses with his distance. We took into account the amount this male heel strikes when running, the height of his arches and his over pronation, and came to the conclusion a shoe with a medial post was the best for him, which has not only rectified the over pronation to just 1.5 degrees (right picture), but has re-aligned his tibial and patella tracking which will massively reduce his risk of injury whilst increasing his distance.
