Running Analysis & Injury Prevention
Running feels simple — just put on shoes and go — but the reality is that poor mechanics, muscle imbalances, and training errors cause injuries for nearly 8 out of 10 runners every year (van Gent et al., 2007).
A Running Analysis at Timber and Iron Physical Therapy takes the guesswork out of your training. Whether you’re injured, trying to prevent injury, or aiming to run faster and longer, we’ll break down your stride, identify weaknesses, and give you a clear plan to optimize your performance.
Why a Running Analysis Matters
Injury prevention: Address problems like shin splints, knee pain, IT band syndrome, or plantar fasciitis before they stop you.
Improved performance: More efficient running mechanics reduce wasted energy and improve speed and endurance.
Personalized training: Get recommendations for strengthening, mobility, and technique tailored to your body.
