Running analysis.

In every sport most people are coached on how to perform specific actions such as kicking a ball, holding a racket or shooting a basketball; but what about running?

Sound familiar?

  • Are you getting the same niggle every time you run?
  • Have you been to your physio time and time again but keep breaking down?
  • Are you wondering how to start your running journey?

Running is the most popular recreational sport in the world and yet roughly 80% of recreational runners will pick up an injury in their lifetime. When was the last time someone showed you HOW to run? Most people will say NEVER.

Here at Reflex Physiotherapy, we have a passion for running. Whether you're doing a “couch to 5km” or the Dublin Marathon, we can help you.

By breaking down HOW you run, correcting your technique and giving you the tools to prevent injury, our Running Analysis & Treatment consultation can be the start of a lifelong healthy and enjoyable running experience for you.

Running analysis questions.

Straight answers to what people ask us most.

Do I need to be an experienced runner to have a running analysis done?

Certainly not! In fact, we recommend you as a novice to have your running gait analysed so you can make sure you're not starting with incorrect habits. Starting with a good foundation is the key to enjoying running in the long term!

Why should I get my running gait analysed?

There are multiple reasons as to why you should look into gait analysis. Maybe you're looking to improve your running efficiency? Maybe you have a recurring tightness or niggle that won't go away no matter how many exercises you do? Maybe you're chasing a “personal best” and are looking for that extra 5%? If running is a sport you enjoy, why not give yourself the best opportunity to keep enjoying it for as long as you can!

Are we the right fit for you?

Before you book, here is who we help best.

We are not the right fit if you want

  • a massage, or someone to "crack" your back
  • generic exercises on a sheet or an app, with no supervision
  • someone else to fix your pain for you
  • a one-session wonder

We are the right fit if

  • you have tried physio or other therapies and your pain keeps coming back
  • you want to understand what is causing your pain and how to get better
  • you are not sure what is causing your pain
  • you want to avoid surgery where you can
