RUNNING ASSESSMENT IN RICHMOND
Why clients in Richmond choose us.
Running assessment at our Richmond studio combines treadmill video gait analysis with a physical examination and a strength screen. Your physiotherapist watches you run, identifies what is overloading the wrong structures, and builds a written program around those findings. Sessions are 60 to 75 minutes.
Richmond runners tend to train on flat surfaces: the Steveston Dyke path, Sea Island, the Olympic Oval loop, and the South Dyke Trail. Flat, repetitive running at steady paces creates its own loading patterns, often around cadence, hip extension, and foot strike, that are easy to miss until a tendon or bone says stop. The running assessment finds those patterns before they become injuries, or after they have to break the cycle.
The Richmond studio sees a mix of recreational runners and athletes training for the BMO Vancouver Marathon and local road races. The assessment is calibrated to the flat, high-volume training terrain most Richmond runners actually use.

FAQ
Running Assessment in Richmond: questions.
Do I need to be injured to book a running assessment in Richmond?
+
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.
I mostly run the Steveston Dyke, which is flat. Is the treadmill analysis still relevant?
+
Yes. Flat running captures cadence, foot strike, trunk lean, and hip extension clearly. Those are the patterns that create stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, and IT band problems over high-mileage flat training. The treadmill makes them visible.
How many sessions does a running assessment involve?
+
The assessment is one session of 60 to 75 minutes. Some clients return at four to six weeks to review progress. Most people need only one or two visits for the assessment piece.
