Running Assessment

Expert Running Assessments

Victoria offers scenic trails, waterfront paths, and a vibrant race community year-round. Our physiotherapist-led running assessments help runners of all levels (even those who have never run before) make the most of what Victoria offers by allowing you to run stronger, smarter, and more comfortably. Covered by most health benefits, each assessment combines hands-on evaluation with modern technology to analyze gait, strength, and biomechanics.

What’s included in a Running Assessment

Whether you’re training for a race, returning from injury, or simply want to run with less pain, a physiotherapist-led running assessment can help you move more efficiently and manage your risk of injury. At Recharge, we combine expert assessment, evidence-based recommendations, and individualized programming to help you run better and feel confident in every step.

Identify movement patterns that increase injury risk
Analyze how your body moves while running to detect compensations or biomechanical issues that may contribute to pain or injury (video gait analysis, joint mobility, and strength testing).

Manage pain and prevent injury
Address factors that may be causing discomfort or recurring injuries so you can keep running safely (targeted exercise, mobility interventions, and corrective strategies).

Improve running efficiency and performance
Optimize your running mechanics to make each stride more effective, reduce fatigue, and enhance endurance (technique coaching and individualized strengthening programs).

Tailored training and rehab recommendations
Receive a personalized plan based on your assessment results, goals, and activity level, whether you’re a weekend runner or competitive athlete (exercise programming, progression guidance, and injury-prevention strategies).

Integrated multidisciplinary care
Our physiotherapists collaborate with athletic therapists, chiropractors and massage therapists to ensure your running program fits into a coordinated, goal-driven plan (team-based approach for injury recovery and performance enhancement).

A facility designed for results

Assessments are performed in our functional gym space equipped with advanced tools, including force plates, dynamometers, and a treadmill to provide precise, measurable insights into your running mechanics.

Personalized care that fits your goals

Every runner is unique. Our physiotherapists create customized recommendations to address your individual biomechanics, performance goals, and lifestyle. Whether your goal is to prevent injuries, recover from a running-related issue, or improve race times, our running assessment provides the guidance and support you need.
