Running Gait Analysis in New York City

Improve Performance. Prevent Injuries. Run Smarter.

Whether you’re training for your first 5K or pushing for a marathon PR, proper running mechanics are essential. At Cynergy PT, our Running & Gait Analysis program helps runners of all levels move more efficiently, reduce pain, and enhance performance—under the expert guidance of licensed physical therapists.

What Is Gait Analysis?

Running gait analysis is a detailed assessment of how you move while walking or running. Using slow-motion video, motion capture technology, and expert observation, we evaluate your stride, posture, joint angles, and foot strike patterns.
This analysis identifies inefficient movement patterns and muscle imbalances that may be holding you back—or putting you at risk for injury.

How Physical Therapists Help Runners

Our team specializes in working with runners to create personalized plans that improve form, strength, and endurance. Here’s what we focus on:

Gait Optimization

We break down your running form to detect issues like overstriding, hip drop, or excessive pronation—and coach you toward more efficient movement patterns.

Injury Prevention & Recovery

Common running injuries like shin splints, IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and runner’s knee often stem from poor mechanics or muscle imbalances. We address the root cause and guide your rehab.

Strength & Mobility Training

Targeted strength and flexibility programs help correct weaknesses, improve joint stability, and power your stride.

Endurance & Performance Coaching

We help you build running-specific endurance with proper pacing strategies and conditioning programs that match your goals and ability level.

Footwear & Orthotic Guidance

Not sure if your shoes are helping or hurting your gait? We’ll assess your footwear and suggest optimal options, including orthotics if needed.

Who Is This For?

Our Running & Gait Analysis is ideal for:
  • Beginner runners learning proper form
  • Competitive athletes training for races
  • Runners recovering from injury
  • Individuals with chronic pain while walking or jogging
  • Older adults looking to run safely with improved biomechanics
  • Cervical

  • Lumbar
