Run Stronger, Faster, and Injury-Free – Personalized Training for Peak Performance
Optimize Your Running Performance with Professional Gait Analysis & Performance Training
Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner, a weekend warrior, or just starting your running journey, optimizing your performance and preventing injuries is key to longevity in the sport. If you’ve been dealing with nagging discomfort, inconsistent pacing, or recurring injuries that keep setting you back, our specialized running performance assessment can help you run at your best.
At Mile High Physical Therapy, we take a science-based approach to help runners move more efficiently, improve speed and endurance, and prevent injuries before they happen.
Through advanced gait analysis, strength assessments, and movement optimization techniques, we help runners of all levels unlock their full potential.
We go beyond just treating pain—we help correct faulty movement patterns, optimize mechanics, and build resilience, so you can train harder, recover faster, and run pain-free for the long haul.
How We Help Runners Perform at Their Best
Our specialized running performance assessment is designed to address three core areas essential for every runner:
Gait Analysis for Runners
Your running mechanics play a crucial role in performance and injury prevention. Using advanced video gait analysis, we assess stride, foot strike, cadence, and posture to identify inefficiencies that may be slowing you down or increasing strain. Small adjustments in mechanics can lead to improved speed, reduced fatigue, and a lower risk of injury.
Running Performance Optimization
Maximizing your running potential requires more than just increasing mileage. Our specialized strength and conditioning program enhances power, endurance, and efficiency by improving stride mechanics, core stability, and training loads. Whether you’re training for a race or simply want to run stronger, we help you push past plateaus and optimize your performance.
Injury Prevention for Runners
Repetitive stress and improper movement patterns often lead to common running injuries. We take a proactive approach by assessing movement patterns, improving mobility and flexibility, and strengthening key muscle groups to prevent future injuries. With expert guidance on recovery, footwear, and training strategies, we help you stay strong, consistent, and injury-free.
Unlock Your Full Running Potential!
Too many runners push through discomfort, adjust their training plans blindly, or rely on trial and error to improve their performance. But without a clear understanding of how your body moves, you could be reinforcing inefficiencies, increasing your risk of injury, and limiting your progress.
At Mile High Physical Therapy, the running analysis is more than just a consultation—it’s an opportunity to gain real, data-driven insights into your running mechanics, movement patterns, and injury risk. We don’t just tell you what’s wrong; we help you understand exactly how to fix it with a targeted plan that works for your body and your goals.
What Happens After Your assessment?
After your initial session, you’ll walk away with a clear roadmap for improvement—whether that means refining your running form, addressing muscle imbalances, or making key adjustments to prevent injuries. You’ll know exactly where to focus your efforts, so every run feels stronger, more efficient, and pain-free.
If you're serious about improving your performance and longevity as a runner, now is the time to take action.
