RUNNING ASSESSMENT IN LOUGHEED
Why clients in Lougheed choose us.
Running assessment at Lougheed combines treadmill video gait analysis with a physical examination and a strength screen. Your physiotherapist watches you run, identifies what is loading the wrong structures, and gives you a written plan to address it. Most sessions take 60 to 75 minutes.
We see a lot of Burnaby Mountain trail runners and Hastings Corridor road runners at this studio. The common picture is someone who has had a recurring overuse injury, treated the acute flare, and then had it return within weeks of getting back to training. The running assessment is how we find the underlying pattern rather than just the symptom.
The Lougheed gym has a treadmill and a full strength floor, so movement screening and load testing happen in the same session without sending you to a second location.

KIND WORDS
What Lougheed clients say.
"After seeing different physiotherapists and chiropractors for over 10 years, I can confidently say Byron is one of the best physiotherapists I’ve worked with. From my very first appointment, he established that the goal wasn’t just to treat my pain temporarily, but to build a strong foundation so my back could heal properly for the long term. He took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. For the first time, I truly understood why I was experiencing my symptoms and what the recovery process would look like. What really sets Byron apart is how thoughtful and patient he is. He always explains the purpose behind every exercise and how each one fits into my recovery plan. If an exercise feels too difficult or aggravates my symptoms, he genuinely listens to my feedback and quickly modifies the exercises so I can continue progressing safely. I never feel like my concerns are dismissed, and I always leave each session feeling informed, heard, and supported. After just one month of following his treatment plan, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my back pain, strength, and confidence with movement. Although recovery will still take time, it’s been incredibly encouraging to regain a sense of control and independence in my daily life. It’s reassuring to see real progress after struggling with recurring back issues for so many years. Another thing I really appreciate is the teamwork at the clinic. If I’m unable to see Byron for one of my appointments, he collaborates closely with the another physiotherapist (Harleen) and thoroughly communicates my condition, treatment progress, and goals. Because of this, I never feel like I’m starting over with someone new. It’s reassuring to know I’ll receive the same high quality of care regardless of who I see. Overall, I’ve had a positive experience at Launch Rehab. If you’re looking for a physiotherapist who takes the time to educate you, creates a personalized recovery plan, and genuinely invests in your recovery, I highly recommend Byron. The quality of care I’ve received has been exceptional, and I’m incredibly grateful for his help."

FAQ
Running Assessment in Lougheed: questions.
How is a running assessment different from a regular physio appointment?
+
A standard physio visit focuses on the painful structure. A running assessment adds video gait analysis on the treadmill and a strength screen to find what is driving the load pattern. You leave knowing the mechanical reason behind the injury, not just the diagnosis.
Do I need to be injured to book a running assessment at Lougheed?
+
No. Many clients book before a race or at the start of a new training block to check for inefficiencies before they become injuries. Both approaches are useful.
Can a running assessment help with trail running at Burnaby Mountain?
+
Yes. Trail running places different demands than road running, particularly on the hips and ankles during technical descents. The assessment captures both uphill and downhill mechanics where possible.
How much does a running assessment cost at Lougheed?
+
The 2026 rate for a 60 minute physiotherapist-led running assessment is $210, listed on our /rates page. It bills as physiotherapy, so most extended health plans direct-bill it up to your plan limit, and a running injury from a workplace incident can be covered under an accepted WorkSafeBC claim.
Who runs the treadmill gait analysis at Lougheed, 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 skills built through continuing education on top of the general physiotherapy degree, not a separate license, certification, or credential requiring its own registration.
What should I bring or wear to a running assessment at Lougheed?
+
Wear the running shoes and shorts or fitted leggings you actually train in, so the video capture shows your real mechanics rather than baggy clothing obscuring the joints. Bring a water bottle and a change of shirt, since the assessment includes treadmill running at your normal training pace.
Do I get a written plan after the running assessment, or just verbal feedback?
+
You leave with a written plan covering the mechanical findings from the video analysis, the strength deficits found on the physical screen, and specific corrective exercises to address them, so you have something concrete to follow at home rather than relying on memory of the conversation.
How is a running assessment at Lougheed different from a running assessment at a shoe store?
+
A shoe store gait check is a quick visual screen aimed at shoe recommendations. A Lougheed running assessment is led by a physiotherapist, combines treadmill video with a hands-on strength and mobility screen, and produces a written rehab or training plan tied to your specific injury history, not a shoe fitting.
