Physical Therapy Running Evaluation

Onward Physical Therapy

What Does a Running Evaluation Look Like?

Our running evaluation is focused on the key variables that prevent you from performing at your best and / or are contributing to musculoskeletal injuries. The evaluation consists of a biomechanics assessment of your running form plus a screen of your body’s movement capacity to find the “leaks” in your performance.

During our running assessment you will receive:

Review of your training history and goals
A thorough orthopedic examination
Video analysis of your running mechanics

“I had accepted that my competitive running days were over. After working with other providers and not seeing anything but short-term changes I was feeling defeated. Then I went to Onward! They built my strength back up and did a detailed analysis of my running form. I was shocked how small tweaks created such huge changes. I’m not back to marathons yet, but I will be soon. Thanks for giving me hope again!”
