If you’ve ever battled nagging running pain, plateaued in performance, or struggled to “find your rhythm,” your running mechanics might be the key. Most runners focus on mileage, shoes, and pace but few ever take a deep look at how their body actually moves while running.
At Arizona Performance Institute , our team of sports-focused physical therapists uses advanced running gait analysis to evaluate exactly how your body moves with every stride. Whether you’re training for your first 5K or aiming for an ultra marathon personal best, we help you move efficiently, prevent injury, and run stronger for longer.
Our running analysis goes beyond what you’ll get at a running store or on a treadmill test. We use high-speed video motion analysis and evidence-based clinical testing to break down your entire running pattern, not just your feet.
Our therapists analyze your stride from multiple angles to measure:
This detailed analysis gives us a clear picture of how your body absorbs impact, transfers force, and controls movement and more importantly, how to make it better.
Each running evaluation begins with a functional movement and strength screen to identify areas of imbalance, tightness, or weakness. From there, we capture short high-speed videos of your running form at different paces to reveal inefficiencies and potential stress points.
You’ll leave your first session with:
Our therapists combine this detailed analysis with sport-specific expertise to help you make immediate, lasting improvements.
Running should never hurt but most overuse injuries start with small mechanical errors that build up over time. Problems like runner’s knee, shin splints, IT band syndrome, Achilles pain, and plantar fasciitis often stem from inefficiencies in movement patterns.
By catching those issues early, we can correct your stride, reduce joint stress, and build a foundation for long-term performance. Our gait analysis helps runners of all levels:
