Chiropractic Running Assessments

Running is a repetitive, high-load activity that places unique demands on the body. Even small inefficiencies in movement can accumulate over time and contribute to pain, injury, or performance plateaus.

Our Chiropractic Running Assessments are designed to identify how your body moves as a whole — not just where it hurts.

Running Assessments

What We Assess

  • Running gait and biomechanics
  • Joint mobility and spinal movement
  • Pelvic and lower limb alignment
  • Muscle activation, balance, and coordination
  • Load tolerance and training history

What to Expect

Your chiropractor will take time to understand your injury history, current training volume, goals, and footwear. Movement analysis may include treadmill running, functional strength testing, and joint assessment. From there, we create a personalized plan that may include:

  • Chiropractic care to restore joint motion
  • Targeted exercises to improve efficiency and resilience
  • Load management strategies to support safe progression
  • Collaboration with physiotherapy or kinesiology when appropriate

This assessment is ideal for runners experiencing pain, recurrent injuries, or anyone looking to run more efficiently and confidently.
