Running gait analysis, rebuilt around biomechanics
Joint angles, foot landing, force impact, stride symmetry, cadence, ground contact time. A full picture of what's happening in your stride.
Joint angles, foot landing, force impact, stride symmetry, cadence, ground contact time. A full biomechanical picture of you as a runner.
Our gait specialists don't just show you the data. They explain what's happening, why it's happening, and what to change.
Visual and auditory cues while you're running help you retrain your stride in the lab. This is how form changes actually stick.

A 2-hour session with the best biomechanics technology in the Bay Area.
A detailed, research-backed training progression with specific sessions, exercises, and milestones.
Real runners, real results
After three failed PT attempts elsewhere, the gait analysis here finally found the root cause of my recurring Achilles tendinopathy. The 3D motion capture showed a hip drop I had no idea about. Six weeks later I PR'd at my first ultra. Worth every minute.
Came here post-ACL reconstruction. The return-to-run protocol was data-driven and personalized in a way my previous PT wasn't. The force plate numbers told us exactly when I was ready. Ran my first marathon 11 months after surgery.
The running gait analysis is unlike anything I've seen. They use a treadmill with 5,000 pressure sensors plus high-speed cameras. The report was detailed and actually actionable — specific drills, cadence target, everything. My stride efficiency is measurably better.
Struggled with shin splints through 2 training blocks. Shockwave therapy plus the gait retraining they prescribed fixed it in 4 weeks. They don't just blast the area with modalities — they find WHY it's happening. Running pain-free for the first time in 18 months.
Training for IRONMAN and the injury risk assessment flagged an asymmetry I hadn't noticed. They compared my numbers against 50,000+ athletes. Addressed it over 8 weeks of targeted strength work. Finished the race healthy — first time ever.

Quick answers
The Discovery Visit is a free 30-minute conversation and tour. The Gait Analysis is a full 2-hour assessment with data collection and treatment. We recommend starting with the DV.
2 hours. That covers your subjective history, tech setup, data capture, full biomechanical review, PT testing, initial treatment, and a custom action plan.
3D motion sensors (IMUs), high-speed cameras, muscle EMG for biofeedback, a dynamometer for strength, and a specialized treadmill with 5,000 pressure sensors measuring landing forces, cadence, stride length, stride width, and foot contact pressure.
No. Many runners come to us for performance. To get faster, more efficient, and prevent future injury. Real data helps you improve whether you're in pain or not.
We're cash-pay only — we don't accept insurance, and that's intentional. Insurance-based PT caps session time and dictates treatment. Our cash model lets us spend a full hour one-on-one with you each session, use the research-grade technology that actually works, and build a plan around your goals. We work in personalized care packages tailored to what you need, with transparent pricing discussed during your free Discovery Visit.
