UNDERSTAND. IMPROVE. RUN
RUNNING ASSESSMENT
Run with direction
Whether you are managing a running-related injury, returning after time away or preparing for your next event, a running assessment can help you understand what is limiting you and build a clear plan forward.
MORE THAN WATCHING YOU RUN
Understand the whole picture.
Running technique is only one part of the assessment. Your symptoms, training history, workload, strength and goals all help explain what your body needs.
Kara combines clinical assessment with video analysis and objective testing where appropriate. You will leave with practical findings—not a list of faults—and a plan designed around the running you want to return to or improve.
Every assessment is one-to-one and tailored to your experience, symptoms and goals—from returning to your first kilometre through to preparing for a race.
Assess. Understand.
Build forward.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Discuss your history, current training, recent changes, footwear, symptoms and performance goals.
Your Running
Your Capacity
Assess relevant mobility, strength, calf capacity, balance and control.
Create clear recommendations for rehabilitation, training load, strength and gradual running progression.
Your Technique
Use video analysis to examine your running pattern in the context of your individual presentation.
Your Plan
Where useful, handheld dynamometry and VALD ForceDecks can provide objective information about strength, side-to-side differences, force production and landing capacity.
Testing helps identify meaningful targets, guide rehabilitation and give you clear benchmarks to reassess as your running progresses.
Measure what matters for your running.
