Biomechanical Assessment

SuperDave May 2013 12:25pm, 17 May 2013 837 posts	0 SuperDave After years of on/off injuries i'm pretty certain i'm going to arrange a Biomechanical Assessment probably with Clifton Bradeley at Sub-4 although I am also considering StrideUK in Brighton. I'm in the midlands so Brighton is a bit of a drive though! I'd be interested to hear if you have ever had such an assessment and did it fix your problems. Who did you use, would you recommend them etc etc. We're not talking a quick jog on a treadmill at your local running shop, but a full allover head to toe video analysis of movement and posture. They seem very expensive but i've probably spent lots more in the last 2 years alone on physio's. Cheers, i'd be interested to hear your experiences.

Also, there are loads of videos of youtube looking at different aspects of the Biomechanical Assessment - maybe if you have a video camera you could do a self-assessment first in case it throws up something relatively simple or obvious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkHz8ig7qrE
