Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Running/Gait Analysis
Many injuries we see are caused by poor biomechanics. A large portion of runners, for example, experience an injury at some point in their running life. Many of those injuries are the result of training errors and/or poor running mechanics. Our experienced running Physiotherapist, Paul Jager feels it is important to evaluate an individual’s biomechanics and training habits. During your assessment, your running technique will be evaluated, and you will receive recommendations that will help you improve your technique and help you reach your goals – whether it be to improve your speed, begin to run, return to run after an injury or just simply prevent future injures. A running assessment will benefit any level of runner from the beginner all the way up to the seasoned marathoner.
