Who should get a running assessment?
A running assessment is beneficial for runners of all levels, whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting out. Here’s who should consider booking a running assessment:
Runners Experiencing Pain or Discomfort: If you’re dealing with pain such as shin splints, runner’s knee, or Achilles tendinopathy, a running injury assessment can help identify the root cause of your discomfort and prevent further injury.
Runners Recovering from Injury: If you’ve recently recovered from a running injury and want to ensure a safe return to running, a running assessment can identify any remaining muscle imbalances or weaknesses that could lead to re-injury.
Competitive Athletes Seeking Performance Enhancement: If you're training for a race or aiming to improve your running times, a running performance assessment can help optimize your form and make your running more efficient, ultimately improving your race results.
Recreational Runners Looking to Prevent Injury: Even if you’re not experiencing pain, a running assessment can help prevent future injuries by improving your form and identifying potential weaknesses or inefficiencies in your biomechanics.
Beginners or New Runners: If you're new to running, a running assessment is a great way to learn proper running techniques, avoid common mistakes, and set yourself up for long-term success with a safe and efficient running form.
Runners Looking to Improve Efficiency: If you want to make your runs feel easier and improve endurance, a gait analysis as part of a running assessment can identify areas to improve, such as stride length or posture, to help you run with less fatigue.
Whether you’re facing an injury or simply want to improve your performance, a running assessment at Keilor Road Physiotherapy provides valuable insights to help you run smarter, safer, and faster.
