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, but 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 guide participants through all of the traditional elements of Gait Analysis, whilst drawing upon research and what we see in every day clinic to reveal the limitations of a solely ‘biomechanical’ approach. By providing you with the skills & tools to work with the runner rather than on the runner, this course will pave the way for you to offer a modern gait analysis service that will truly benefit your running clients.
Course Content:
- Biomechanics of running – gait cycle, injury & performance
