Running Assessments: How to Maximize Your Running Potential

Running assessments are designed to help you achieve your running goals and are now on offer at Williamstown Health & Lifestyle.

Theses assessments are suited to everyone, whether you are looking to improve performance, prevent injury, training for an event or a first-time runner. Our running assessments are tailored to provide a holistic approach to running, blending expertise in biomechanics, injury prevention and personalised rehab.

What Can You Expect from Our Running Assessments?

• In-Depth Case History: We start by gathering detailed information about your running background, including your history of activity, any previous or current injuries, your goals, and upcoming events. This helps us tailor the assessment to your unique needs.
• Non-Running Assessment: We evaluate your muscle strength, joint mobility, and muscle activation patterns. This foundational assessment helps identify underlying issues that could affect your running performance.
• Running Assessment: Through detailed gait analysis, we examine how you run, focusing on your stride, foot strike, and overall movement patterns. This allows us to pinpoint any inefficiencies and provide recommendations for running retraining.
• Managing Your Injury: If you have any existing injuries or are at risk, we implement effective load management strategies to ensure you can run safely while minimizing the risk of further damage.
• Rehab Programming: We create customized exercise programs that detail the right dosage and progression to aid your recovery and enhance your running capabilities. These programs are designed to address specific weaknesses and imbalances.
• Ongoing Check-Ins: To ensure continued progress, we schedule regular check-ins to reassess your running gait and adjust your rehab program as needed. This helps keep you on track towards achieving your goals.
• Providing Support to Reach Your Goals: Our goal is to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re training for a marathon or simply aiming to run more comfortably, we offer guidance and support to help you reach your full potential.
