Ever wonder what we assess during a gait analysis?

In addition to reviewing slow-motion video of your running, we use a Runeasi to capture data we can’t see with video alone. This gives us deeper insight into how your body is actually behaving with each step.

The Runeasi sensor provides a Running Quality Score, which we like to think of as an injury risk assessment. This score is informed by three main parameters:
• Dynamic stability
• Impact loading
• Symmetry

Over the next few weeks, we’ll break down each of these data points, what they mean for your running, and how we use them to individualize your treatment and return-to-run plan. Because better data leads to better decisions, which leads to stronger, healthier, and happier running.

If you’ve “done PT” before but your pain keeps coming back… you’re not alone.

Our running gait analysis pairs slow-motion video breakdown with objective data from the Runeasi sensor to uncover movement patterns and loading strategies that can contribute to nagging injuries—things you can’t always feel while you’re running. 👟

At Run Rx, we don’t rely on tech alone. We combine gait analysis with hands-on, one-on-one care and a thorough off-treadmill assessment from PTs who specialize in runners. 📹👩‍⚕️

Different approach. Better answers. Lasting progress. 🏃‍♀️✨

How is your motor control?

In PT, it’s common to see runners excel at traditional lifting, and then get challenged by movements that require core control, balance, and coordination. Those “simpler” exercises can be the hardest - and they matter. They build the foundation that supports efficient running, better load management, and long-term durability.

Good PT should feel fun, but also challenging in the right ways. It’s not about jumping straight into the hardest or heaviest movement; it’s about mastering the basics first. When runners understand why they’re doing certain exercises and feel progress each session, it’s easier to commit to the process.

Try marches on the foam roller to test your control😜

Coming back from injury isn’t just about getting stronger- it’s about relearning how to move with confidence.

For runners, the right cues and guidance in a PT setting matter because they help reconnect the brain to the body. After time off, compensations sneak in, fear can linger, and old habits show up without you realizing it. Thoughtful cueing brings awareness back to your movement, helping you load tissues appropriately, rebuild trust in your stride, and progress without rushing the process.

Happy New Year! We know the idea of, "New year, new goals," is pretty cheesy. But the truth is, the start of a new year is a great time to implement new habits. Not all goals are created equal, though.

There are two main types of goals: Outcome oriented goals and process oriented goals. Outcome oriented goals (like winning a race, PR’ing, or qualifying for Boston) focus only on an end result. They can be motivating, but they’re not fully in your control.

Process oriented goals are in your control - and they’re what actually lead to progress.

As a runner, consider focusing on goals like:
• Training consistently (even when motivation dips)
• Fueling your runs better — before and after
• Strength training 2x/week
• Prioritizing recovery and sleep
• Learning why you’re doing what you’re doing

When you commit to the process, the outcomes often follow — and even when they don’t, you’re still becoming a stronger, more resilient runner.
This year, don’t just chase a result.Build habits you can show up for, week after week.

That’s how runners stay in the game for life.
