Frequently Asked Questions

What is gait analysis and who needs it?
Gait analysis is a comprehensive assessment of how you walk and run, identifying movement patterns that contribute to pain or limit performance. It's valuable for anyone dealing with recurring injuries, chronic pain, or athletes looking to optimize their biomechanics. Runners, cyclists, triathletes, and active individuals in Austin use gait analysis to understand their bodies better and move more efficiently.
How long does a gait analysis session take?
A comprehensive gait analysis typically takes 60-90 minutes. This includes video recording from multiple angles, real-time analysis, a detailed review of findings, and development of your personalized treatment plan. Unlike quick assessments, we take the time to thoroughly understand your movement patterns.
Do I need to be injured to benefit from gait analysis?
Most people initially work with us for 10-15 visits over a 3-6 month period. Treatment appointments are always 60 minutes and one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. We focus on giving you the knowledge and tools for long-term success.
Still have questions?
We empower people to overcome pain, get back to the activities that make life good, and come home to their bodies. Let us help you feel better than ever.
