When RunTeach was founded in 2018, the sole purpose was to provide a better and more helpful gait analysis service in Dorset and the surrounding counties of Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset and West Devon. The mission was to work out the underlying issues of a running injury, general pain and to improve performance. We always recognised that this was highly personal and needed a different type of gait analysis to what we being offered elsewhere.
Since then, our gait analysis service has changed and improved a lot: we now regard how you run and how you move as the output from your nervous system and is part of the symptom and not the cause of your pain or lack of performance. To find the cause, we need to look at how your brain is functioning and how well your nervous system is helping you achieve your goals.
This is like being able to change the design, improve the ingredients and the baking process of a cake: you end up with a masterpiece engineered from the start rather than something you are trying to decorate over and constantly need to fix.
Because of our approach, we often resolve pain issues that cannot be solved elsewhere. Our clients often come to us when nothing else has worked.
Our gait analysis is a premium service like no other. Of course, you will still be doing some running so we can see how you move. But that’s only one small part of the assessment. You will also be walking and undergoing several personalised neurologically-based tests to piece together why you have the challenges you do. You will also be asked to perform certain movements and drills, while primarily for assessment, can also go on to form your rehabilitation or performance-based pathway.
Whether you are in pain, need rehab from a running injury, or want to boost your running performance, it all starts with a highly personalised gait analysis from RunTeach.
The benefits of the gait analysis and follow up sessions (optional) to you are:
- Understand what’s going on with extra pain education if you wish.
- Resolve pain quicker with longer term impact.
- Improve your balance, coordination and agility as part of the process.
- Improved running performance.
The whole session can take up to 2 hours and includes:
- An expert gait analysis viewed through a neural lens.
- Completely personalised assessments, tests, exercises and drills for your individual nervous system.
- The assessment itself, which is filmed at certain points, and is fluid based on what we find.
- Exercises and drills, vetted throughout the assessment, that form the first steps of your pathway.
- Videos of the assessment, reviewed while with you if enough time. These are then uploaded to a secure area and you are sent the links within 4 days or so.
- A follow up pathway report, guiding you along the path we recommend.
Our gait analysis is truly a world apart from anything else, and this is why we get results. Every client we see is treated completely individually and our promise to you is that we will treat you as unique with a unique set of challenges that deserves a unique and personalised approach.
