Let’s not complicate running analysis! If you have a treadmill & some simple props you’re in business. Let me show you how to apply “The S’s of Treadmill Analysis™” to break down a runner’s form in a matter of minutes.
If you work with runners, needless to say, it’s important to watch them run considering that running is a hierarchical skill. While a lot of people are intimidated & overwhelmed by the technology & available apps on the market, very rarely are they needed. In this guide, I will provide you with a simple & practical, evidence-based framework for performing a running analysis.

Why I developed this guide
The bottom line is that most medical & fitness professionals simply do not have access to an instrumented treadmill. Furthermore, I’ve consulted several runners who sought the care of a clinician or facility with all the bells & whistles yet they still have not returned to consistent & healthy running. Considering the available literature on this topic it’s readily apparent that we can apply a simple framework not only for analyzing one’s running gait but also for the sake of gait retraining. I can’t wait to help you get dialed on conducting a simple treadmill analysis with equipment you likely already have.
