Whether you're training for your first 5K, preparing for a marathon or looking to overcome recurring running injuries, our running analysis service at Rehabilitation Collective is designed to help you understand your running technique and work towards your individual goals.

Running places repeated demands on the body, and understanding how you move can help identify areas for improvement. Through a detailed assessment of your running technique, we can provide personalised advice and exercises to help you run more comfortably, build strength and develop confidence.

The Benefits of Running Analysis

Improve Running Technique

Gain a better understanding of your running mechanics and identify opportunities to refine your technique based on your individual needs and goals.

Manage Recurring Injuries

If you're experiencing recurring aches, pains or injuries, running analysis can help identify movement patterns and contributing factors that may be worth addressing as part of your rehabilitation.

Build Strength and Stability

Understand where targeted strengthening, mobility work or control exercises may support your running and help you manage the demands of training.

Optimise Running Efficiency

Explore aspects of your running technique, such as cadence, stride pattern and posture, to identify potential improvements that suit your individual running style.

What to Expect From Your Running Analysis

Initial Consultation

We'll begin by discussing your running history, current training routine, previous injuries and future goals. This helps us understand your experience as a runner and any challenges you're currently facing.

Running Assessment

We'll observe and assess your running technique, looking at relevant aspects of your movement, including stride pattern, cadence, posture and overall running mechanics. Where appropriate, video analysis may be used to help you visualise your technique and better understand our findings.

Personalised Feedback

Following your assessment, we'll explain our findings and highlight areas that may benefit from further work. We'll focus on practical recommendations that are relevant to your running goals, rather than making unnecessary changes to your natural running style.

Strength and Exercise Programme

Where appropriate, we'll develop a personalised exercise programme to address identified areas for improvement. This may include strength training, mobility exercises, balance work and running-specific drills to support your progress.

Ongoing Progress and Support

We'll help you put your recommendations into practice and adapt your programme as you progress. If you're managing an injury or returning to running after a period of time off, we can also provide guidance on gradually building your running load and training volume.
