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 Indonesia, 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 PhysioActive Solution

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

PhysioActive 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. Additionally, we can offer footwear recommendations appropriate to your unique anatomy.

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