In depth understanding
of how you move

Gait & Running Analysis

As certified pedorthists, gait analysis is one of Solefit’s specialties and is a lot more than just looking at your feet! It gives us an in depth understanding of how you walk or run and helps us to discover the true source of issues.  Located in Westboro, Ottawa and Kitsilano, Vancouver, SoleFit gait analysis can help you move better!

Our Process

Video Gait Analysis

We observe clients shod and/or barefoot in SoleFit's onsite biomechanics lab and utilize video gait analysis to get a picture of your individual gait pattern.

Treatment Plan

Videos of your gait are uploaded at your appointment, enabling you to understand your biomechanics, and enabling us to formulate an effective treatment plan.

Different Clients

We see a wide variety of clients, from the sedentary office worker all the way to the elite athlete, and use similar gait assessment principles for all of our clients.

Extra Techniques

Due to the unique biomechanics of running, we expand our video gait analysis to include topics such as technique, drills, and barefoot/minimalist running.

FOR OUR RUNNERS

It’s a great time to be a runner because there are so many options available for improving run technique. It’s also a very confusing time to be a runner for the very same reason. At SoleFit, we’re firm believers that there is no one system that works best for everyone and due to the unique biomechanics of running, we expand our video running assessment for runners to include topics such as technique, drills, and barefoot/minimalist running.

Benefits of Gait Analysis

Slide #1: Help to determine the best short term and long term run technique options.  
Slide #2: Ensure that your footwear isn't contributing to your pain and troubleshoot solutions.  We spend lots of money on our footwear and so important to make sure we have the right ones! 
Slide #3: Helps to identify strength/mobility issues that may be contributing to pain.  Our goal is always to find the source of the issue!
