Up to 70% of recreational and competitive runners sustain injuries during a 12 month period. Overuse injuries can occur from inefficient biomechanics or poor technique, inappropriate training load, surfaces and footwear.

 

Our Run Assessments

 

At PROmotion we love running and like to see it done well. Unfortunately no one teaches us how to run – we just go! Whether you are a sub 3 hour marathoner, jogger with a nagging injury or running for the first time – we can help.

 

Just in the feet, we have 26 bones, 33 joints, 112 ligaments, and a network of nerves, tendons, and blood vessels that have to work together when we run!

 

Our PRO Running Assessments combine the analysis of run technique and biomechanics to provide strategies to improve your efficiency, performance and prevent injury. We use video analysis so you can understand where the imbalances lie and create a detailed individual treatment plan with a focus on improving flexibility, control, technique and endurance. We advise on appropriate running programs whether running for the first time, returning after injury or training for an event.
