Gait Analysis

Gait Analysis for Optimal Performance

Our video gait analysis services provide in-depth biomechanical information on your running and walking gait patterns.

Using state-of-the-art video technology, including iPads and slow motion gait analysis software, we can accurately assess gait abnormalities and correct running techniques. By offering the latest running style advice, such as forefoot striking, mid-foot loading patterns, stride length, and timing, we can enhance your running efficiency.

Additionally, these techniques help unload vital structures of your foot, reducing the risk of injuries and promoting effective injury prevention and management. We can design a tailored exercise program to reduce the risk of further injuries. Our podiatrist can prescribe custom foot orthotics to correct poor foot mechanics and improve running efficiency.


Some common abnormalities seen in running assessments are:

  • Poor Foot and Ankle Mechanics
  • Weak Gluteal Muscles
  • Muscle Tightness
  • Over Striding
  • Poor Cadence
  • Poor Core Control
  • Poor Pelvic Stability
  • Incorrect and Inefficient Techniques

Footwear Assessments

At PhysioCentral, our Podiatrist can check your footwear during a running assessment and suggest the best shoes to suit your unique foot mechanics.

Different sports and activities require different shoe types to perform at your peak and we can help you with deciding what shoes are suited to your sports goals. We can also check children’s feet for the correct school shoes to support their growth and foot health.
