Most clinics rely on what you tell them and what they can feel. We use objective tools to measure what's actually happening — so treatment decisions are based on data, not just clinical feel.

Force Plate Assessment

• Force plates measure how you produce and absorb force under load. For runners and active people, this gives us data on:

• Limb symmetry — whether you're loading each leg equally

• Rate of force development — how quickly you can produce force

• Peak forces — whether your tissues are ready for the demands of your sport

• Asymmetries that increase injury risk but don't show up in standard testing

This matters because "it feels okay" and "it is okay" are often two different things. Force plate data gives us an objective threshold for when it's actually safe to return to full load — not just when it feels manageable.

• We use force plate assessment for:

• Return-to-sport clearance

• Limb symmetry testing post-injury or post-surgery

• Informing strength programming progression

• Identifying load asymmetries in runners with recurring injurie

Running Analysis

Video running analysis looks at your mechanics under load — on a treadmill, at your actual training pace, in the shoes you run in.

We assess:

• Foot strike pattern and contact mechanics

• Cadence and stride length

• Hip drop and pelvic control

• Knee tracking and valgus under load

• Trunk lean and arm carriage

• Asymmetries between left and right

We're not looking to turn every runner into a textbook. We're looking for the specific things in your pattern that are increasing load on injured tissue — and whether changing them would help.

Running analysis is included as part of a running injury assessment, and is available as a standalone session for performance-focused runners who want objective feedback on their mechanics.

What you get from the assessment

You leave knowing:

• What's driving your injury or limiting your performance

• Where your asymmetries are and what they mean

• Whether your load capacity matches the demands you're placing on your body

• What needs to change — and a clear plan for how to change it-
