Running Gait & Performance Reviews in Crouch End, London

No. The reviews are split roughly evenly between injury-recovery cases and performance-or-prevention cases. If you are training for a marathon, returning to running after a baby, building base mileage for a triathlon, or have just been told to "fix your form" by a coach, the review gives you objective data to act on rather than guesswork.

DorsaVi is a clinical-grade wearable sensor system that captures running mechanics in 3D — far more reliable than naked-eye observation. We use it for cases where small angular changes matter (return-to-sport after a hamstring injury, persistent ITB or PFPS, marathon technique tuning). For lower-stakes cases the video-only review is more than sufficient.

Most runners start with the Base Package — a one-off review and written plan. If you want accountability and a chance to tweak the plan in 4 to 6 weeks, the Intermediate Package adds the follow-up. The Expert Package is for runners who specifically want the gym-based strength work taught and supervised in person rather than self-led from Track Rehab.

Sometimes — but rarely as a single fix. Footwear matters less than runners often think; cadence, hip strength, and load progression usually matter more. If we do recommend a footwear change it is to give your existing mechanics a better chance of working, not because the shoe is "wrong". We will give you specific shoe categories rather than brand-name endorsements.

Most major UK insurers reimburse the review when it is part of a wider rehabilitation plan for a recognised running injury — Bupa, Cigna, Vitality, WPA, and Simply Health all have terms for this. Pure performance reviews (no injury) are usually self-funded; we can issue a paid invoice for any reimbursement claim.
