Gait Analysis Review

To any of you out there who want to keep running, I cannot recommend this analysis enough. There is no substitute for seeing yourself running and then reviewing it with the therapist. Debbie Sue was terrific to work with and she provided me with several corrective/preventative exercises to work into my program. After watching that film, I couldn't help feeling lucky that I hadn't gotten hurt already. I will be doing these exercises religiously and I am planning to have another analysis done early in the summer to check my progress. For $75 you almost can't go wrong with this. It's cheaper than a pair of running shoes.

I give it 2 thumbs up. Thanks Debbie Sue.

My personal posts about the analysis are here and here. My wife is a photographer, so I am going to have her take some photos of the stretching exersises and I will post them as well.

Gait Analysis

I have signed up for a gait analysis at the Rehabilitation Hospital on Feb. 23. Since it's cheaper than a decent pair of running shoes, it was an easy call for me. This should give me some great information as I get back into racing.

If anyone else does this, post your comments here. I'm looking forward to it.
