Running Gait Assessment in Reno
Whether you’re just starting out as a runner or chasing your next personal record, a detailed running gait assessment can help you run more efficiently, reduce injury risk, and enhance performance. Understanding how your body moves while running is key to building strength, preventing setbacks, and reaching your goals safely.
Why a Running Gait Assessment Matters
Many runners develop compensations or inefficiencies in their stride that can lead to pain or injury over time. A professional gait assessment identifies:
Movement patterns that may increase injury risk
Muscle imbalances and weakness
Inefficient stride mechanics
Opportunities to improve speed, endurance, and overall efficiency
By addressing these factors early, runners can maximize performance while staying healthy and injury-free.
