Running Biomechanics

Run more efficiently: reduce your injury risk, improve your times.

Why is Running Technique Important?

From a young age we are taught to cycle and we are taught to swim, but for most of us we are not taught how to run. Why is that?
Poor running technique can be a causing factor in many different types of injury and can also hold us back from running as fast as our potential allows us.

Here is how a running biomechanics analysis can help:

Help to identify any asymmetries and biomechanical faults that maybe pre-disposing you to injury
Receive advice and an initial exercise plan to work on those areas and minimise injury risk
Learn how to run more efficently, extending the period before muscle fatigue kicks in and enabling you to run faster
This service can also help in rehabilitation from certain types of injury by identifying the causing factor(s) and target those areas to help prevent the injury from recurring

Why Pulse?

We have been working runners with injuries for over 25 years and we successfully treat hundreds of runners every year. We therefore have a thorough understanding of the problems that runners face, the types of injury that occur and the causes of these injuries.
We understand the anatomy of the human body and the “mechanics” of the body that occur during running. No two people have exactly the same body movements when running, however all of us have aspects of our running technique that can either be corrected to minimise injury risk or altered slightly in order to optimise efficiency and therefore improve our times over a set distance.

The Pulse biomechanics analysis service is run by therapists who understand the needs of runners and how to apply the principles of running technique to runners of all ages and abilities and those with different objectives.
