Gait Analysis

Gait analysis is a close look at how you walk or run — stride length, knee angle, weight distribution, pronation, and how your whole body moves through each step. A kinesiologist observes and measures these patterns to find the mechanical root of pain or inefficiency.

It's especially useful when pain shows up somewhere other than where the actual problem starts — a hip issue driving knee pain, for example, or a weak glute changing how your foot lands.

You'll walk or run (often on a treadmill) while your kinesiologist observes and, where useful, records video to review key positions frame by frame. Expect questions about your training, footwear and injury history.
