ProGait, It’s so much more than just Gait Analysis
ProGait is so much more than gait analysis that you may have encountered on the high street. High street analysis is a vital tool in determining the right type of shoe for new runners, and is widely accepted to help guide people into a good shoe for them. ProGait is an in-depth analysis by Health Professionals (Senior Podiatrists and Physiotherapists) with vast experience of treating athletes and the common injuries they suffer from. It uses state of the art equipment to take accurate measurements of movement and pressure, giving technical information to inform clinical decisions by your assessor. From this information you can receive advice which is unique to you, your running history, your gait style, your injury history and your running goals.
As a very competitive distance runner, Adam had gait analysis to see if he could make any improvements and to check he was wearing the correct running shoes. Detailed motion analysis and pressure plate studies highlighted some muscle imbalances some restricted movements and some poor form. A home exercise plan to address all of these points was included with his gait analysis DVD and pressure plate report.
