Running Assessment
People enjoy running for many reasons, and at Sure Step Podiatry, we understand the importance of running injury free. Moreover, we are passionate about helping runners reach their goals.
Most running injuries occur due to a biomechanical anomaly or running style. Therefore, a thorough biomechanical running assessment using a video gait analysis system is imperative in detecting any abnormalities and structural causes of overloading. Once a comprehensive assessment is complete, our podiatrist will formulate an appropriate treatment and management plan.
A Running Assessment comprehensively analyses a customer’s running form and biomechanics. Sure Step’s sports podiatrist will provide a detailed assessment of the customer’s gait, foot structure and running technique to identify potential issues or injuries and advise on the best solutions for running health and performance.
Running can cause a variety of injuries. Common running injuries include shin splints, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy and iliotibial band syndrome. Our running assessments can help identify any areas that may be causing the pain and provide practical solutions to alleviate the discomfort.
Sure Step Podiatry is proud to offer the Zebris Treadmill Analysis to all customers who book a running assessment. This advanced treadmill technology uses several sensors to monitor and analyse the customer’s gait cycle, foot strike pattern and leg alignment with incredible accuracy. The Zebris Treadmill analysis will provide an in-depth look at the customer’s running technique, allowing our podiatrists to provide the best advice and treatments for running health and performance.
Once the running assessment is complete, our podiatrists will provide treatment plans and advice. For example, recommendations could involve strengthening exercises, stretches and advice on suitable footwear and orthotics. Plus, we can provide advice and guidance on improving the customer’s running form and technique and preventing running injuries.
