Run Analysis

Comprehensive Run Analysis Services for Enhanced Performance and Injury Prevention

At Atomic Physical Therapy, we specialize in providing detailed run analysis services designed to help runners of all levels optimize their performance and minimize the risk of injury. Whether you're a beginner just starting out or an experienced athlete looking to refine your technique, our comprehensive analysis will offer valuable insights into your running mechanics and help you achieve your goals.

Our Run Analysis Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your running form, biomechanics, and movement patterns. Using the expertise of our physical therapists, we assess your stride, posture, and movement efficiency to identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. By addressing potential imbalances or inefficiencies, we help you achieve your running goals while reducing your risk of injury.

Our team will put you through dozens of runner specific physical therapy tests to examine your Mobility, Strength, and Functional performance. From these results we use our Atomic Performance Methodology to translate your test results into a performance score, providing you with a scientific breakdown of how your body is equipped to perform when running.

From the analysis, we identify some core exercises and training methods you should adopt to target your development areas, enabling you to run faster, lower injury risk, and increase your running longevity.
