Running Assessment in Winchester and Alresford
Our running assessments are designed to identify what is limiting your performance or driving your pain.
Built for runners who want clear answers, not guesswork.
This goes beyond gait analysis. We assess how your body manages load, combining movement analysis with strength and control testing to give you clear, actionable answers.
Our approach
Most running injuries are caused not simply by how you look when you run, but by how your body manages repeated load.
We assess strength, control, and load tolerance alongside your running pattern to identify the key factors contributing to injury or limiting performance.
The focus is not just on describing how you run, but on understanding why symptoms develop and what needs to change.
What we assess
Assessments may include:
- Video based running analysis
- Strength and symmetry testing of the calf, hip, and hamstring
- Movement control and load tolerance
- Training volume, progression, and recovery
Running gait analysis forms part of the assessment, but it is not used in isolation.
Footwear can also be discussed where relevant. We do not prescribe orthoses, but will refer where appropriate.
Running gait analysis
Running gait analysis forms part of your assessment, but it is not used in isolation.
Using video analysis, we look at how you move while running, including factors such as stride pattern, loading, and control.
However, gait analysis on its own rarely explains why injuries occur. For that reason, it is always combined with strength and load testing, allowing us to understand how your body manages the demands of running.
This provides a more complete picture than gait analysis alone, and allows for clearer, more practical recommendations.
Who it’s for
This assessment may be appropriate if you:
- Have recurring injuries such as Achilles, knee, or hamstring pain
- Feel limited despite consistent training
- Want to improve performance with a clearer plan
- Want structured guidance without guesswork
What you receive
- A clear summary of key findings
- Your strength and movement data
- A structured plan to improve performance and reduce injury risk
- Guidance on training progression
What to expect
The assessment takes approximately 60 minutes and includes both physical testing and video analysis.
You will leave with a clearer understanding of what is driving your symptoms or limiting your performance, alongside guidance on how to move forward.
Where appropriate, you will also receive:
- A summary of key findings
- Strength and movement data
- A structured rehabilitation or performance plan
- Guidance on training progression
A more considered approach
Gait analysis alone rarely explains why injuries occur.
By combining movement analysis with strength and load testing, we identify the underlying contributors rather than just describing how you run.
