What is a Running Assessment?
Running might seem simple, but every runner has a unique style—and small running technique inefficiencies in your mechanics can lead to big problems over time. Injuries, poor performance, and chronic discomfort can often be traced back to subtle issues in posture, stride, or foot placement.

Running Assessment Orleans, Ottawa FAQs
How Often Should I Get a Running Assessment?
A running assessment is beneficial at any stage of your running journey. For beginners, it’s great to have an assessment before starting a training routine to establish proper form. Experienced runners may benefit from periodic assessments, especially when increasing mileage or training intensity. Additionally, if you’ve had an injury, scheduling an assessment after recovery helps ensure you’re running safely and efficiently. Regular check-ins (e.g., annually) can help refine your mechanics and prevent long-term issues.
How Does a Running Assessment Improve Performance?
A running assessment improves performance by fine-tuning your biomechanics, identifying inefficiencies, and optimizing your stride mechanics. It allows our physiotherapist to recommend personalized exercises and form adjustments that help you use energy more efficiently, improve speed, and reduce unnecessary strain on your body. Improved muscle coordination and strength in key areas like the hips, core, and ankles also contribute to smoother, more powerful running. These enhancements ultimately allow you to perform at your best while minimizing wear and tear.
Can a Running Assessment Help With Footwear Selection?
Yes, part of our running assessment includes evaluating your foot mechanics, stride, and how your current footwear impacts your performance. We can provide recommendations on the type of running shoes or orthotics that best suit your gait and foot structure. Proper footwear is crucial for reducing impact forces, supporting your arches, and maintaining a balanced running form. Whether you need extra support, cushioning, or stability, we’ll guide you toward the most suitable options to enhance your running experience.
