Running Analysis

Running is the easiest type of exercise to adopt. Although it strengthens your heart and burns calories efficiently, running puts a unique set of stresses and strains on your body much greater than those from walking. Hence, it is also the exercise with the most number of injuries. With running becoming increasingly popular in Singapore, we have seen a rise in the number of clients with running related injuries.

These injuries are caused by a combination of issues from poor technique to the wrong footwear.

The Solution

Let us help you with effective therapy, injury prevention strategies, and optimisation of your running.

We offers complete running analyses that provide an in-depth look at your gait patterns and weight loads. We’ll examine how you carry your weight and which muscles and other structures are bearing the load. This allows us to offer recommendations for preventing injuries, running longer distances, and improving running times. 

Your total running analysis will include a video of your running pattern, biomechanical information, and fitness recommendations.

Estimates show that nearly 70% of all runners eventually develop an injury, from which 50% suffer recurrent injuries each year. Common injuries include:

*Plantar Fasciitis
*Achilles tendonitis
*Shin splints
*ITB syndrome
*Knee pain
*Hip pain
*Back pain
*Stress fractures
*Muscle strains

These injuries are often produced or exacerbated due to poor technique, poor biomechanics, training errors, wrong footwear or the weakness of specific key muscle groups.
