RUNNING ASSESSMENT IN COQUITLAM
Why clients in Coquitlam choose us.
Running assessment at our Coquitlam studio uses treadmill video analysis, a physical examination, and a strength screen to find the mechanical pattern behind a recurring injury. Your physiotherapist watches you run, identifies what is overloading and what is under-contributing, and builds a written plan around those findings. Sessions take 60 to 75 minutes.
We see a steady mix of Port Moody recreational runners, Tri-Cities track athletes, and people who have picked up running again after a long break. The common thread is someone who has been treating the painful spot without addressing the loading pattern that created it. The assessment is how we change that.
Coquitlam has a strong runner community across distances, from 5km road races to ultramarathon prep on the trails around Mundy Park and Burke Mountain. The assessment is calibrated to the terrain and distances you actually train on.

KIND WORDS
What Coquitlam clients say.
"I had a great experience with Victor Li. The service was excellent and very professional. He explained what he was doing, shared helpful knowledge about my problem areas, and regularly checked in to make sure the pressure was okay. I felt respected and comfortable the whole time. He focused properly on the affected areas and gave useful tips on how to improve and take care of my body after the session. Overall, a very skilled and caring therapist. Highly recommended."

FAQ
Running Assessment in Coquitlam: questions.
Do I need a referral to book a running assessment in Coquitlam?
+
No referral needed. Book directly through JaneApp or call the studio. If treatment is indicated beyond the assessment, you can continue with the same physiotherapist.
I run mostly trails around Burke Mountain. Is the treadmill analysis still useful?
+
Yes. Treadmill analysis captures foot strike, cadence, trunk lean, and arm swing clearly. Trail-specific demands, like lateral stability and descent mechanics, are also assessed through the physical examination.
How many sessions does a running assessment take?
+
The assessment itself is one session. Some clients book a follow-up at 4 to 6 weeks to review progress on the program and re-check a specific pattern. Most people do not need more than two visits for the assessment piece.
How much does a running assessment cost at the Coquitlam studio?
+
The 2026 rate for a 60 minute physiotherapist-led running assessment is $210, listed in full on our /rates page. It bills as physiotherapy, so most extended health plans direct-bill it up to your plan limit, and any remaining balance is due on the day of the visit.
Who runs the running assessment at Coquitlam, and what is their training?
+
The assessment is led by a physiotherapist registered with the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC. Video gait analysis and running-specific strength screening are continuing-education skills built on top of the general physiotherapy degree, not a separate credential, license, or additional registration with another body.
What should I bring to a running assessment at the Coquitlam studio?
+
Wear the running shoes and fitted shorts or leggings you normally train in so the video capture shows your actual mechanics, and bring water and a change of shirt, since the assessment includes treadmill running at your usual training pace for several minutes at a time.
Can a running assessment help ultramarathon or trail training around Burke Mountain?
+
Yes. Trail training around Burke Mountain and Mundy Park places different demands on the hips and ankles than flat road running, particularly on technical descents. The physical examination alongside the treadmill video captures both flat road and trail-specific loading patterns for direct comparison against each other.
Do I get a written training or rehab plan after the running assessment in Coquitlam?
+
Yes. You leave with a written plan covering the mechanical findings from the video, the strength deficits found on the physical screen, and specific corrective exercises, so you have something concrete to follow between sessions rather than relying on memory of a verbal summary given at the visit.
