3D Running Gait Analysis
2h stride analysis · 3D motion sensors, EMG, 5k-sensor pressure treadmill.

Most runners are guessing why they hurt. We don't. 3D biomechanics and force plate testing show exactly what's breaking down — then DPTs who run turn the data into a plan. Over 1,500 runners and counting.

The tech that makes this different
How it works
Injured, post-op, training for a race — we match the right service.
A full evaluation finds the actual cause of pain or plateau.
Personalized plan based on what your data shows.
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
For most injured runners, a Running Gait Analysis is the best starting point because it finds the cause of the injury in your stride. Your Doctor of PT will also determine if shockwave + EMTT therapy makes sense as part of your plan. Start with the free Discovery Visit and we will recommend the right path.
Yes. Many runners come to us for performance. Gait analysis, strength testing, and injury risk assessment help you train smarter, avoid future injury, and hit performance goals.
Most PT clinics use a stopwatch and a phone camera. We use research-grade biomechanics technology (3D motion capture, EMG, pressure-mapping treadmill, force plates) to find the actual cause of pain or inefficiency. Plus, every session is a full hour with a Doctor of PT.
For a full gait analysis, yes. For ongoing PT and consults, we offer both in-person and virtual options. We also have a Virtual Gait Analysis for runners outside the Bay Area.
Yes to all. We have worked with ultrarunners, Ironman triathletes, post-surgery runners, high schoolers, and first-time marathoners. The technology scales with you.
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.
