Whether you’re training for your first 5K, chasing a marathon PB or simply trying to stay injury-free, understanding your running gait could be the missing piece of the puzzle. At Running Bath, we believe every runner deserves to run smarter – not just harder. That’s where gait analysis comes in.
What Is Gait Analysis?
Gait analysis is the process of studying how you move when you run or walk. Using video technology and trained expertise, we assess your biomechanics – everything from how your foot strikes the ground to how your knees and hips align. We then find the best running shoe for your unique stride and help prevent common running injuries.
Why Does It Matter?
No two runners are the same. Some of us overpronate (our feet roll inward), others supinate (feet roll outward) and many fall somewhere in between. Wearing the wrong shoes can lead to discomfort, inefficiency or worse – nagging injuries like shin splints, plantar fasciitis or knee pain.
With gait analysis, we can
- Recommend shoes that offer the right support and cushioning
- Identify biomechanical inefficiencies
- Offer advice on injury prevention
- Help improve running comfort and performance
What to Expect at Running Bath
Our gait analysis service is completely free and available in-store. One of our experienced team members will guide you through the process, which typically includes:
- A short run or walk on our in-store treadmill
- Personalised recommendations based on your gait
It only takes a few minutes – but the benefits can last for miles.
Real Runners, Real Results
Many of our customers tell us they didn’t realise how much their shoes were holding them back, until they experienced the difference. Whether you’re dealing with an old injury or just want to feel more confident on your runs, gait analysis can be a game-changer.
