Video gait analysis allows us to view your running / walking technique from a full 360 degrees. These images are then synchronised on a computer screen and are played back to you frame by frame to demonstrate how your body behaves through the entire gait cycle. Viewing your running / walking
technique in slow-motion using highly calibrated monitoring equipment enables us to track any postural imbalances, locate potential weaknesses and help understand the nature of possible injuries (i.e. uncovering any abnormal mechanisms which may be related to your own particular problems.)

Gaining this information provides us with the ability to create your very own ‘postural blueprint’ incorporating a training / rehabilitation regime specifically for yourself including a stretching and strengthening programme. During this process, the software will automatically cross reference your ‘bio- mechanical’ profile across all sports and running shoe manufacturers providing you with the most perfect trainer recommendation.

So you may be at the peak of your sport & fitness right now, having conditioned your body to be the ultimate machine for your sport, but what will happen to that machine as the miles clock up? Will that highly conditioned physique break down later in life because of too much sport-induced wear and tear? And is there anything that you can do now to prevent potential decline in physical function caused by your sports participation?

During an average year, 65 per cent of regular runners and sportspeople suffer with an injury (by definition, an 'injury' is a physical problem severe enough to force a reduction in training).

One running injury occurs for about every 100 hours of running, and runners miss about 5-10 per cent of their workouts due to injury ('Incidence and Severity of Injury Following Aerobic Training Programs Wmphasising Running, Racewalking, or Step Aerobics,' Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise, vol. 25.)

Indeed, virtually every sport whose activities involve running and changing direction at speed can produce ‘wear and tear’ injuries, (imagine a process where a force greater than two and one-half times body weight is transmitted through the leg with each footstep, 1700 times per mile) and such factors are not simply generated to predict injuries, but more importantly to help avoid possible decline in physical function later in life.
