Running Gait Analysis in Naperville & Chicagoland
Identify the biggest running form, movement, and strength factors that may be contributing to pain, recurring injuries, or inefficiency, and leave with a clear plan you can actually use.
What It Is
A More Practical Running Analysis, Not Just a Quick Treadmill Screen
This running gait analysis is designed to help identify the biggest movement and form factors that may be contributing to pain, inefficiency, or repeated setbacks. Rather than overloading you with unnecessary details, the goal is to find the few biggest issues that are most worth addressing.
Your session includes a review of your history, training, injury patterns, strength and mobility factors, and video analysis of your running mechanics. You leave with clear priorities, practical feedback, and specific next steps rather than vague advice.

Who You Work With
One-on-One with Dr. Brian Damhoff, DC, MS
