Who Is The Course For?
• Therapists, coaches & trainers with no experience in Gait Analysis but are thinking of offering a new service to their running clients.
• Current providers of Gait Analysis who wish to update the service they offer.
What Is A Modern Approach To Gait Analysis ?
If you currently work with runners or are planning to do so in the future, Gait Analysis can be a hugely beneficial tool. However – probably not for the reasons you think! Despite the traditional use of Gait Analysis to ‘screen’ runners for ‘biomechanical flaws’ and ‘prescribe running shoes’ according to their ‘foot type’, the success of such is often hit & miss.
In this course, running injury & performance specialist Matt Phillips of Runchatlive will provide you with a MODERN guide to Gait Analysis. You will be taken through all of the traditional elements of Gait Analysis, but also guided through research and what we see in every day clinic to understand & appreciate the limitations of a solely ‘biomechanical’ approach.
By providing you with the skills & tools to work with the individual runner infront of you rather than relying on outdated narratives & misconceptions, this course will pave the way for you to offer a modern gait anlaysis service that will truly benefit your running clients.
