Would you like to run faster and overcome that nagging injury that is holding you back from reaching your next running goal?
If your answer is “YES”, a PTMotionLab Running Analysis is a great next step to achieving your running goals.
Running is a highly demanding activity that generates significant forces that your body needs to manage. Without proper absorption and dissipation of forces, the repetitive nature of running can result in reduced performance and even overuse injuries. There is no specific method that is right for every runner but is right for your body type and running goals.
Our individualized running evaluation and specific coaching will address your specific impairments in mobility, strength, power, coordination, and running form. You will leave with a customized running training program and a better understanding of what you need to do to reach your goals.
Who needs a running analysis?
- The competitive runner wanting to gain an edge or runners experiencing reduced performance or pain.
- The recreational runner that is looking to improve their running mechanics and performance.
- The recovering athlete with a recent injury or surgery to assure a safe return to running.
Why complete a running analysis?
- To identify your strengths.
