How Does the RunDNA Analysis Work?
Our RunDNA system uses advanced 3D motion capture technology combined with therapist expertise to deliver precise results:
- Movement Recording – Your gait and running mechanics are captured in real-time with highly accurate 3D analysis.
- Biomechanical Assessment – Our therapists identify abnormal movement patterns, compensations, and asymmetries.
- Data Interpretation – We combine technology results with a physical therapy evaluation to uncover the source of issues.
- Corrective Plan – You’ll receive a customized exercise and mobility program targeting weaknesses, imbalances, and technique flaws.
- Progress Tracking – With re-assessments, we ensure lasting improvement and sustainable results.
This process is far more detailed than a standard visual assessment. It gives clear, objective, and actionable data to address movement issues at the source.
