Running Assessment & Analysis in Washington DC
Running assessment Washington DC is a popular treatment at Release Physical Therapy. Running is one the most accessible and common forms of exercise. It is also one of the easiest ways to develop an injury. Running injuries are common and often affect the hips, knees, ankles and feet of runners. The impact and stress of running can be hard on the muscles and joints – especially if you ignore early injury signs. We offer a comprehensive running video analysis to identify functional weaknesses, postural compensations and faulted mechanics to improve performance and prevent injury. Whether you are new to running, training for a marathon or just run to stay fit, a formal running analysis led by a trained physical therapist isn’t just beneficial, it’s necessary.
How does a running analysis work?
Your physical therapist will take a video of you while you run in order to your movement including your gait, motion and stride. We use a running software to track foot metrics, distance, pace and time. Your physical therapist will review the video in slow-motion to identify functional weaknesses, postural compensations, and faulted biomechanics, such as stride length, foot contact with ground, weight distribution, and range of motion in the hips, knees, and ankles. Your physical therapist will review the findings with you and discuss your goals to determine an individualized program to re-train your muscles, avoid injury, reduce pain and increase speed.
