Running Assessment in Blainville
Running gait analysis, biomechanics and a personalized plan to help you run better
Experiencing pain while running, returning from an injury or looking to better understand your technique? A physiotherapy running assessment analyzes your movement, gait and the physical factors that can influence your tolerance to running.
At Rehab Performance, we combine video analysis, movement screening and strength testing to tailor recommendations to your goals, history and running level.
Better understand what happens when you run
A structured assessment connects your symptoms, physical capacities and running mechanics. It can be useful both when pain is present and during a gradual return to training.
Pain and injuries
Identify movements, loads and physical factors that appear related to your symptoms.
Efficiency
Observe technique and movement strategies while running.
Strength and control
Assess the capacities needed to tolerate the demands of running.
Training load
Interpret running progression in the context of your volume and goals.
Return to running
Structure a gradual return after injury or time away from running.
What does a running assessment include?
The session begins with a discussion about your history, symptoms, training and goals. The physical assessment then focuses on the factors most relevant to your situation.
Video analysis of running and gait
Video analysis allows us to observe how you run in a real context. It is interpreted together with the physical assessment and your symptoms rather than focusing on one isolated detail.
Foot strike
Observe the strike pattern and how the foot interacts with the ground.
Knee and hip
Assess lower-limb alignment and control during stance.
Gait
Observe cadence, stride length and visible asymmetries.
Pelvis and trunk
Assess pelvic stability, posture and overall control.
Arms and posture
Observe arm movement and upper-body organization.
Training context
Relate findings to your training volume, intensity and goals.
