Why Running Gait Matters
Running is repetitive - even small inefficiencies in form can lead to overuse injuries. Common issues like shin splints, knee pain, or plantar fasciitis often stem from poor mechanics.

- Identifying the root cause of recurring injuries
- Improving running efficiency and reducing fatigue
- Enhancing performance and comfort
This service is ideal for:
- Recreational runners wanting to run more comfortably
- Competitive runners seeking performance gains
