Running Gait Analysis Thornbury Melbourne
Uncover the Real Reason You Keep Getting Injured
At Melbourne Soft Tissue Therapy, we don’t just treat running injuries—we help you prevent them by fixing the root cause: your gait.
Our Running Gait Analysis is powered by Natural Born Running, a performance-first movement system developed by an ex-elite athlete and Myotherapist who’s helped hundreds of runners, field athletes, and weekend warriors rebuild their stride from the ground up.
This isn’t a treadmill printout and shoe store advice. It’s a deep dive into how your body moves—so you can run better, train harder, and stay injury-free.
Who It's For
-
Runners with recurring injuries (shin splints, plantar fasciitis, ITB syndrome, calf/hamstring tears, etc.)
-
Field sport athletes who want to get faster, more agile, and more resilient
-
Gym goers preparing for events like HYROX or CrossFit competitions
-
Anyone who’s been told to “just rest it” without any long-term solution

Video breakdown of your running technique from multiple angles

Joint-by-joint movement screen to assess mobility and stability

Why Most Runners Get Hurt
It’s not the distance. It’s not bad luck. It’s poor movement patterns repeated under load.
Running is a skill—and like any skill, it can be taught, practiced, and refined.
Our analysis focuses on:
-
Performance: Run lighter, faster, and more efficiently.
-
Longevity: Build a body that lasts.
-
Confidence: Know what you're doing and why it works.
