Gait Analysis is a tool used to gain insight into one’s movement patterns specific to walking or running. The benefits of Gait Analysis are that it can be very helpful in identifying overactive/under-active muscles, potential injuries, and inefficiencies.

If you suffer from pain in knee/ankle/hip or lower back during or after a long walk or run there are things you are doing wrong mechanically. The first thing people do is take loads of painkillers and apply deep heat/ice to reduce the pain and inflammation and take rest while the pain goes. After a week of rest the pain disappears and we dare to run again. But experience the similar pain and feel gutted and think about giving up running or long walks. We are just treating the symptoms by medication however the root cause of the pain still remains the same. 

​

Here is what we do at Body in Motion Clinic. An hour session includes:

​

1. ANALYZING STANDING/STATIC POSTURE: The physio carries out a thorough assessment in standing looking at every potential cause of injury from the toes to the shoulder.

​

2. ANALYZING YOUR RUNNING TECHNIQUE: We will make you step up on a treadmill and record you running/walking from various angle using our special 4K high resolution camera at 60fps. We will then share the video with Kinovea software and break it down into slow motion and go through possible faulty mechanism you might be doing reaching the root cause of the problem.

​

The Physio will give you detailed explanation of the method using simple physics and bio-mechanics during this session.

​

3. DIAGNOSING AND TREATING THE INJURY: We will then look into the injured/inflamed/painful site and treat it with physiotherapy

​

4. RUNNING TECHNIQUE CORRECTION: At the end we will make you step on the treadmill again and make you run with our technique.
