Running Performance Evaluations
A Running Evaluation is a comprehensive examination and assessment designed to help runners improve their form and decrease risk of injury. At Cioffredi & Associates, our goal is to give you the specific insight and tools you need to optimize your training, push your limits, and enjoy running for the long-term.
What to Expect
During your appointment, a Performance Physical Therapist who specializes in working with runners will break down your unique biomechanics with a comprehensive testing program that will include:
- In-Depth Interview: To determine your unique training history, current/previous injuries, relevant past medical history, and establish goals.
- Targeted Table Examination: To determine relevant range of motion, flexibility, and strength impairments.
- Run-Specific Strength & Functional Movement Testing
- Treadmill Video Analysis: To observe run mechanics including footstrike, cadence, step width, etc.
- Running Footwear Evaluation
Using these findings, your Performance PT will work with you to develop customized strategies to get you to your goals. This may include recommendations for modification/improvement of your current training, development of an individualized strength training program, and/or run-specific drills to improve running form and efficiency.
