Running Gait Analysis

At Peak Fitness and Physical Therapy, we know runners.  We understand the aches and pains that come along with running -- and we understand the desire to get back on the road (or trail or track) again after an injury strikes.  We also know what it takes to keep runners moving pain-free and how to help them meet their own specific goals.  Whether you are a first-time runner, a seasoned veteran, or anywhere in between, we can help you enhance your performance and stay injury-free!
