Running Performance
Assessment
Run with more confidence.
Fewer injuries. Better performance.
We often assume running should come naturally.
Until something starts to hurt.
Running well is a high-level skill.
Whether you're training for your first 5 km, preparing for a marathon, or trying to get back to running without pain, this assessment helps identify what matters most.
Not everything….just the things most likely to make the biggest difference.
During your assessment we'll look at:
• Your goals and running history
• Slow-motion video analysis of your running
• Cadence, stride length and overall running efficiency
• Strength, balance and single-leg control
• Mobility and movement quality
• Training load and recovery
• Footwear
• Previous injuries and current pain
Running injuries are rarely caused by one thing.
Rather than looking for the one problem, we'll step back and look at the bigger picture.
As a guide, experienced Physio and Running Coach Dan O’Grady will help simplify the complexity and prioritise where your time and energy are best spent.
You'll receive:
✓ A comprehensive running assessment
✓ A written summary emailed to you after your appointment
✓ Individualised strength and mobility exercises via PhysiApp
✓ Running technique advice where appropriate
✓ Practical recommendations on training load and recovery
✓ A clear plan to help you move forward with confidence
Whether your goal is to run pain-free, improve your efficiency or achieve your next personal best, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of your running and a practical plan that's tailored to you.
