Gait Analysis Near Me:
Enhance Your Movement with a Skilled Physical Therapist
By watching you walk and run, a physical therapist can identify any poor movement or technique that can cause overuse injuries, decrease running efficiency, and keep you from hitting your next PR.
Even a “healthy” or uninjured runner can make small changes to their running form that can help them run faster and farther with less aches and pains.
Here’s What Happens During A Gait Analysis:
- 1. We gather information about your running, exercise, athletic background, goals and concerns, lifestyle, and social and community support.
- 2. We watch you run and collect data on your technique, strength, balance, flexibility and coordination.
- 3. We examine your running shoes to see how they may be helping or hurting your current running form and goals.
- 4. We develop a custom plan to improve your running movement and form so you can run and walk at your best for Fun, for Health, or for Performance!

“Five stars isn’t enough. Like many people I started running a year ago while I was in treatment for alcohol addiction to help take my mind off everything else. Not long after I was diagnosed with diabetes. Double whammy. No good times, (so I thought), and no sugar! Running was my outlet, my “me” time, a challenge, and my therapist. Then, after a race I could barely walk as a result of pain on the outside of my thigh. I tried everything I could find on the internet and drove my wife insane for the next month. I gave away the alcohol and life took my sweets. I was not going to give up running. I looked for specialist everywhere and to no avail. I was looking for someone with a more holistic approach and who actually had passion for their work. Nailed it with Dr. Lynne and the Movement Clinic! Dr. Lynne’s approach to treatment and genuine concern has me back on the road and trails! I could not be more pleased with The Movement Clinic!”

“I had stopped running because of IT band issues and after a handful of sessions with her I’m back to not just running but training for a half marathon! She really takes the time to figure out what’s causing the problem and gives you exercises and a plan that are easy to follow so you can stay moving!”
