Runner’s Leg Assessment. 1 Hour.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Runner’s Leg Assessment is something unique that I have developed over years of dealing with runners and their injuries. Added to that, I have been running for 45 years and believe that you will find great value in the assessment.<\/p>\n

Who is the Runner’s Leg Assessment aimed at?
\n<\/strong>
\n1. Runners who are battling with an injury.
\n2. Runners wanting to avoid injury and simply run better.<\/p>\n

Recovering from an injury need not be a complex matter. For the most part, getting the right muscles stretched, the right muscles strengthened, getting the athlete into the right shoes and making small changes to a runner’s gait\/style makes a huge difference.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What is done?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time is spent looking at the flexion of different muscle groups.
\nI look for leg length discrepancies and measure the Q angle.
\nI look for signs of different injuries such as Plantar Fasciitis, Shin Splints, 9 different knee injuries, Back issues, e.t.c.
\nYou are then filmed while running (the runs are short) and the results are analysed. Pronation rates, Quad dominant styles, glute medius weaknesses, mid-line crossing, hip flexor tightness and more are measured.<\/p>\n

At the end of the observations, we sit down go through various stretches, strengthening exercises, running shoe suggestions, gait adjustments etc. You will walk out with a report that will guide you into running better and injury free.<\/p>\n

The full Runner’s Leg Assessment takes 1 hour.<\/p>\n

Some conditions need a certain amount of follow-up muscle work\/myofascial release. I am able to help with massage, active release, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. You can read more here: Myofascial Release.

\nWhy do we do this? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The runner’s leg assessment tells a \u2018story\u2019 that helps define why people get injured. For example, there are five different factors that can cause ITB. It is imperative to find the cause\/causes behind each injury.<\/p>\n

I have done assessments for people who have\u00a0ranged from:
\n<\/strong>
\n– 11 to 75 years of age.
\n– People using running to reduce weight to professional athletes including Comrades gold medallists and winners.
\n– From runners looking to run their first 5km Comrades podium runners.<\/p>\n

The Mini Assessment. 30 minutes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you need advice regarding shoes and a few pointers regarding potential injuries that you could face, the Mini Assessment is the appointment that you want to book. It takes 25 minutes and includes a short run or two on the treadmill.<\/p>\n

If you have an injury or are wanting to take on a big event such as a marathon or ultra marathon then I would recommend the full Runner\u2019s Leg Assessment.<\/p>\n

Mini Assessment Details.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>
\nBring your old pair of running shoes (if you have a pair). \u00a0\"saucony<\/a>
\n\u2013 I will take a short history of your running.
\n\u2013 I will listen to what your running goals are.
\n\u2013 I will listen to any aches and pains that you might be experiencing.
\n\u2013 I will then get you to run a few times for 40 seconds or so and film your running.<\/p>\n

We very carefully look at your rate of\u00a0pronation.<\/a>
\nWe will then go over what we filmed and measure a few angles. This together with the last few points will enable me to advise you about the best shoes for you.\u00a0We will always give a few pointers that will help you run injury free. This is all written down.\u00a0<\/strong>This mini assessment takes 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

We do stock shoes. Our prices are comparable to other shoe outlets. We give a R 100 discount to people who buy shoes after the assessment.<\/p>\n

I have also studied Sports Science through the University of Bolder Colorado and Trifocus Academy and so can help with coaching programs.<\/p>\n

Please go to the pricing list<\/a>\u00a0for details of costs.<\/strong><\/p>\n
