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.

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.
