Comprehensive Running Assessments for Injury Prevention and Performance
A running assessment is a detailed analysis of your running technique, gait, and posture, designed to pinpoint areas of weakness or potential injury. Using state-of-the-art methods, our osteopaths assess everything from foot strike and hip alignment to overall biomechanics. By understanding how your body moves during a run, we can tailor specific treatments and exercises to correct imbalances and improve performance.
Whether you’re preparing for a marathon or dealing with a nagging running injury, these assessments can help you run more efficiently and reduce your risk of future problems. At Alpha Sports Medicine, we combine years of expertise in osteopathy with a passion for running, ensuring you receive the best care possible.
