In-Clinic Running Gait Analysis in Orange County

Have you ever wondered whether your running form is helping — or limiting — your speed, efficiency, or long-term durability? Even subtle biomechanical inefficiencies like overstriding, low cadence, or poor hip control can place unnecessary stress on your body over time.

My in-depth running gait analysis in Orange County provides a comprehensive, expert-level evaluation of your running mechanics. Unlike a quick shoe store assessment that focuses primarily on footwear, this detailed running form analysis is performed by a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over 15 years of competitive running experience and formal certification in running analysis.

Using slow-motion, multi-angle video on a treadmill, I assess your entire kinetic chain — from head to toe — to identify movement patterns, strength deficits, mobility limitations, and compensations that may be contributing to pain, inefficiency, or recurring injuries.

A professional running mechanics evaluation can help you:

• Identify faulty or inefficient movement patterns

• Detect strength and mobility deficits affecting performance

• Understand the root cause of previous or recurring injuries

• Reduce injury risk and improve long-term durability

• Improve running efficiency for faster, smoother, easier miles
  

Whether your goal is improved race performance, injury prevention, or returning to running pain-free, a detailed running analysis provides the clarity, strategy, and personalized plan you need to move forward with confidence.

Where serious runners find their 1% edge by analyzing how they run at race pace.

This is for runners who want to get faster, more efficient, and unlock their next level of performance.

This is not a treadmill analysis.

Your Elite Outdoor Running Analysis is performed on the exact terrain you train and compete on—whether that’s road, track, or trail. Because when speed increases, mechanics change. And what shows up on a treadmill often doesn’t reflect how you truly run.

Using high-speed, multi-angle video and aerial drone footage, I capture your stride in motion—at your race pace, in a real environment.

This allows me to identify subtle inefficiencies that cost you speed, waste energy, and limit performance.

What I Analyze

• Force production and transfer through your stride

• Vertical oscillation that leads to energy loss

• Pelvic control and frontal plane stability

• Knee tracking under load

• Foot strike relative to your center of mass

• High-speed mechanics that don’t appear on a treadmill

Built for Runners Who Want More

• Runners chasing a PR

• Athletes preparing for races

• Competitive and high-level recreational runners

• Those already training consistently and ready for those 1% gains

What You Get

A detailed, performance-driven breakdown of your mechanics—paired with specific cues and strategies designed to improve how you produce and transfer force with every step.

Analyzing running mechanics at controlled speeds takes skill. But identifying what happens at race pace—when performance is truly tested—requires a different level of precision.

If you’re looking for that extra 1–2%—the difference between finishing and really competing—this is where you find it.
