Specialist Gait Analysis Near You

Run and Walk Better with Expert Gait Analysis in Penrith

If you are in the North Lakes or Eden Valley and having problems with your running style or walking, you may have asked yourself: "Is there anyone who can carry out a running gait analysis near me?" You might understandably have thought it was an unlikely service to find in a rural area.

For locals and visitors, James Pittam Health and Fitness is proud to offer specialist gait analysis services designed to enhance movement and prevent injuries. Whether you're an athlete aiming to improve performance or someone seeking relief from pain, our expert sports podiatry team is here to help. 

Our gait analysis service is suitable for everyone, regardless of fitness level.

Comprehensive Biomechanics Gait Assessment

The gait analysis service begins with a thorough biomechanics assessment conducted by our registered podiatrist, who holds an MSc in Clinical Biomechanics and specialises in musculoskeletal injuries. 

With extensive experience, including serving as the lead for North Cumbria Integrated Health NHS, you can trust that you're in capable hands.

Detailed Gait Evaluation and Testing

During the initial assessment, we take a comprehensive medical history and conduct specific functional and dynamic tests. 

These tests help identify areas where there may be a restriction in joint motion or a lack of muscle strength. 

Understanding these factors is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan tailored to your walking or running needs.

Comprehensive Biomechanics Gait Assessment

Visual and Video Gait Analysis

Our gait analysis may involve a basic visual assessment or a more detailed video gait analysis. Experience has taught us that it's better for clients if we see them in person, for that reason we avoid carrying out online gait analysis.

By observing how you walk or run, we can pinpoint issues and understand why they occur. Your current running shoes or unique running style may be the issue, but our analysis will identify if it is the shoes, or something deeper-seated in your legs and feet. This visual feedback helps patients gain insight into their movement patterns and the underlying causes of their symptoms. 

Personalised Gait Evaluation and Testing Treatment Plans

At James Pittam Health and Fitness, you will receive some form of treatment during your first visit. 

Our goal is to address your running gait issues promptly and set you on the path to recovery. You will also receive a written treatment plan, detailing the steps needed to improve your gait and prevent future injuries.
