Running is one of the most rewarding forms of exercise, but it also comes with a risk of injuries. Whether you’re training for a marathon, running for fitness, or just starting out, you may experience issues such as shin splints, plantar fasciitis, runner’s knee, IT band syndrome, or Achilles tendon pain. Many of these injuries are linked to biomechanics—the way your body moves when you run. That’s where GAIT Analysis at Aurora Sports Medicine Professionals comes in.
What is GAIT Analysis?
GAIT Analysis is a detailed assessment of how you walk and run. Using video technology and movement analysis, our physiotherapists look at your posture, stride, foot strike, and muscle engagement to uncover imbalances or inefficiencies.
These small issues in movement often lead to recurring injuries or prevent runners from performing at their best. By identifying them early, we can create a personalized treatment and training plan to keep you healthy and running stronger, longer.
Common Running Injuries GAIT Analysis Can Help With
At Aurora Sports Medicine Professionals, our team specializes in sports medicine and physiotherapy treatments for runners. Through GAIT Analysis, we can target the root causes of:
Shin Splints – caused by improper foot strike or over striding.
Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome) – linked to hip weakness or poor knee alignment.
IT Band Syndrome – often a result of poor hip stability or stride mechanics.
Plantar Fasciitis – aggravated by flat feet, tight calves, or repetitive strain.
Achilles Tendinitis – connected to calf imbalances or excessive heel strike.
By correcting these movement patterns, we not only treat your current injuries but also prevent future ones.
