Running Gait Analysis

Specialist Running Injury Assessment in Amersham

Running injuries are rarely caused by one factor alone. Training load, strength deficits, recovery, mobility, footwear, biomechanics, and running technique can all contribute.

At Whitson Wellness Physiotherapy, we provide detailed running injury assessment and running gait analysis for runners of all levels, from beginners preparing for a first 5K to marathon and ultra-distance athletes.

Matthew Whitson has experience working with sporting populations and regularly treats runners with:

• Achilles tendinopathy
• Calf strains
• Plantar heel pain
• Runner’s knee
• ITB pain
• Hamstring injuries
• Hip pain
• Shin splints
• Bone stress injuries

AI Running Gait Analysis

Our AI-assisted running gait analysis combines video analysis with clinical assessment to identify:

• Overstriding
• Cadence issues
• Pelvic control deficits
• Excessive trunk lean
• Asymmetrical loading
• Reduced hip stability
• Running efficiency factors

Importantly, gait analysis is interpreted clinically rather than relying purely on software outputs.
