Running Gait Analysis in Charlottesville, VA
Find Out What Your Running Is Actually Telling You
Runners come to us when hip, knee, shin, or foot issues keep interrupting training. Our gait analysis goes beyond the surface to find what's actually driving the problem — and builds a plan around it.
What happens when the root cause stays unknown
Pain keeps coming back
You rest, symptoms calm down, you start running again — and the same issue flares in the same spot. Nothing changes because nothing's been identified.
You're training around the problem
Shorter runs, slower paces, avoided workouts. You're managing symptoms instead of running the way you want to, with no clear path forward.
Race goals slip further away
Every flare pushes your next goal back. Whether it's a 5K or a marathon, staying healthy enough to train consistently starts to feel out of reach.
Gait Analysis Built for How You Actually Run
A static exam misses what happens when you're actually moving. We assess your gait in motion — and connect what we find to your injury pattern and training goals.
Running Issues Gait Analysis Commonly Reveals

Foot and ankle pain

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about running gait analysis and what to expect from the process.
We record your gait on a treadmill at different paces and review the footage with you during the session. The findings are connected to your injury history so you leave with a clear picture of what's contributing to your symptoms.
No. Many runners use gait analysis proactively — before training for a race or after recovering from an injury — to identify movement patterns that increase their risk. It's useful for injury prevention, not just rehab.
Yes. After the analysis, you receive targeted exercises and recommendations for adjusting your training load or technique. If ongoing PT makes sense, we'll outline that option as well.
We accept pay-in-full or installment options. HSA and FSA cards are accepted. We provide superbills you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.
Yes. Whether you're building toward a 5K, half marathon, or longer race, gait analysis can help you identify and address movement patterns that tend to break down under higher mileage — before they become injuries.
