Running
Assessments
Three times your own body weight loads through the body and onto your feet at every run step you take. Making sure your kinetic chain is loading proportionately to your muscle group is the key.
We offer a range of running assessments to help you steer clear of injury and enhance your efficiency and performance. We also offer a Lactate Threshold Test which is a great test if you are distance running.
All our assessments are for the everyday person and will be tuned to the relevant performance level. We use “Gait-On video analysis” and “Footscan Plate” technology.
All assessments are carried out by fully qualified staff in a friendly relaxed environment.

Shoe Fit Assessment
This Shoe Fit Assessment service is a great option for runners seeking the perfect running shoes.
What’s Included?
- Manual foot assessment & measurement – Using the Sidas foot measuring tool to determine size and shape.
- FootBalance camera analysis – Assesses basic foot structure for better shoe recommendations.
- Personalised shoe selection – Helps identify the right size and type of running shoes for your needs.
Key details
- IDEAL FOR: Any runner looking for properly fitted running shoes.
- PRICE: £20 (deductible from any running shoe purchase during the assessment period).
- DURATION: 15 minutes.
Why book?
- Avoid ill-fitting shoes that cause discomfort or injury.
- Get expert recommendations based on your foot shape and structure.
- Get rewarded: The £20 fee is credited toward your shoe purchase—so it’s essentially free if you buy shoes.

Biomechanical Footscan Assessment
Discover how your feet move, load, and adapt during running to prevent injuries and optimise performance.
We use a 1-metre high-resolution Forceplate to capture real-time data on your running gait, revealing how your body distributes weight, pressure, and forces with every step. This cutting-edge analysis helps pinpoint imbalances, inefficiencies, and injury risks—before they become problems.
What We Measure:
- Static Weight Distribution – Balance between left/right feet while standing.
- Dynamic Pressure Mapping – Exact contact points (heel, midfoot, forefoot) and load distribution while running.
- Impact & Toe-Off Speed – How quickly forces transition from foot strike to push-off.
- Transverse Load Patterns – Side-to-side pressure shifts that may indicate instability or misalignment.
Who Benefits?
- Runners of all levels – Whether you’re a casual jogger or training for a marathon.
- Injury-prone athletes – Detect imbalances linked to shin splints, plantar fasciitis, or knee/hip pain.
- Performance-focused runners – Optimize efficiency and stride mechanics.
Key details
- IDEAL FOR: Runners of all levels, injury-prone athletes and performance-focused runners.
- PRICE: £49 (includes detailed report & recommendations)
- DURATION: 45 minutes.
- DATA CAPTURED: Force impact location & rate, Pressure hotspots & distribution and Gait cycle timing (stance/swing phases).
Why book?
- Prevent injuries by correcting imbalances early.
- Choose better footwear with science-backed insights.
- Improve running economy ith personalised feedback.

Running Gait Video Analysis
This running gait analysis service, powered by GaitOn motion capture and complemented by a Biomechanical Footscan Assessment, offers a highly detailed and scientific approach to evaluating running mechanics.
Key Components of the Analysis:
- 4-Camera Motion Capture System (GaitOn)
- Records the running gait cycle from anterior (front), posterior (back), and lateral (side) views for a comprehensive 3D analysis.
- Tracks joint angles, segment movements, and muscle activation patterns in real time.
- Biomechanical Footscan Assessment
- Evaluates foot pressure distribution, arch dynamics, and propulsion efficiency during running.
- Helps identify issues like overpronation, supination, or uneven weight distribution.
Who Benefits?
- Runners with recurring injuries (e.g., shin splints, plantar fasciitis, knee pain).
- Athletes looking to optimise performance (improving stride efficiency, power output).
- Post-rehab patients ensuring proper movement mechanics before returning to sport.
Key details
- IDEAL FOR: Runners with recurring injuries, athletes looking to optimise performance and post-rehab patients.
- PRICE: £99
- DURATION: 60 minutes.
Why book?
- Receive personalised corrective exercises (e.g., glute activation drills, hip stabilisers).
- Receive footwear recommendations (stability vs. neutral shoes based on footstrike).
- Receive running form adjustments (cadence, stride length, posture cues).
