Running Analysis & Rehab for Runners in Guelph

If you’re dealing with running pain, recurring injuries, or performance plateaus, a detailed running analysis in Guelph can be the turning point.

WHY RUNNERS GET INJURED (AND WHY IT KEEPS COMING BACK)

Most running injuries aren’t random.

They come from a combination of:

  • Poor load management
  • Inefficient running mechanics
  • Strength and mobility limitations
  • Training errors or sudden volume increases

The problem?
Most approaches only treat symptoms.

We take a different approach. We assess how your entire system moves, absorbs force, and produces power. That’s how you create lasting change, not temporary relief.

What Is a Running Analysis?

A running analysis is a detailed breakdown of how your body moves while you run.

We assess:

  • Stride mechanics
  • Cadence and pacing
  • Joint loading patterns
  • Foot strike and force distribution
  • Muscle activation and control

You’ll see exactly what’s happening and understand why it matters.

More importantly, you’ll leave with a clear plan to improve it.

The Running Analysis PROCESS:

The DEFY Video Running Analysis involves taking our athletes through a thorough individualized movement screen and assessment, then analyzing running biomechanics and form on the treadmill using video feedback.

Who This Is For

Our Running Analysis is built for:

  • New runners dealing with early pain or discomfort
  • Recreational runners who feel stuck or inconsistent
  • Competitive runners chasing performance gains
  • Anyone tired of recurring injuries that never fully resolve

If running feels harder than it should, this is for you.

What to Expect

Your Running Analysis starts with two in-depth sessions, followed by a tailored plan recommendation.

  • Running and activity history including past training, injuries, and goals.
  • Running footwear analysis.
  • Joint-by-joint assessment of active and passive range of motion.
  • Comprehensive movement analysis to screen lower body mobility, strength, and power and trunk stability testing.
  • Real-Time video analysis on our treadmill at various running speeds, inclines, and footwear.
  • Review the analysis of your assessment.
  • Practice and receive one-on-one feedback on all aspects of your individualized program (will be created between the 1st and 2nd session).
  • Real-time video feedback while running on the treadmill to implement changes to your form to improve efficiency and biomechanics.

In order to monitor implementation of your movement and running analysis recommendations, your therapist may recommend 30 or 60 minute sessions.
