Gait Analysis CPD Course

Gait Analysis can be a hugely beneficial tool for runners, but often not for the reasons we are traditionally taught. Despite the common use of Gait Analysis to screen runners for ‘biomechanical flaws’ to reduce running related injury and/or increase running performance, the success of such is often hit & miss. 

In the CPD course ‘Gait Analysis for Runners: A Modern Approach, Running Injury & Performance specialist Matt Phillips takes you through all of the traditional elements of Gait Analysis, and then draws upon the research to provide you with the knowledge & skills to put together a modern, evidence-informed gait analysis service, individualised for YOUR business and YOUR clients’ needs, be that indoor with a treadmill or outdoor with ipad/tablet.

CPD Testimonial

Thank you, Matt, for delivering a very well constructed & insightful course over the last few weeks.

The course ‘Gait Analysis For Runners: A Modern Approach‘ has really made me think differently in my approach to runners’ gait analysis. We are currently in the middle of a transition from a running shop to predominately a clinic with a small percentage of running shoe retail. My team and I will be implanting the information that we have gained from the course into our analysis & clinic, especially with our clients’ reports and in the subjective & objective analysis.

Thank you again!
