How to Break in New Shoes
Attention runners and athletes! Do you ever wonder how efficient your running is? Are you considering a change in training or footwear? SoleScience now provides 3D gait analysis for athletes like you!
SoleScience has developed a method of objective assessment called the GAiT Profile- Gait Analysis and Individual Testing. We use 3 dimensional motion capture combined with software developed by the University of Calgary’s Running Injury Clinic which allows us to gain a perspective on your individual gait and running style. Combine 3D motion capture with pressure analysis, foot classification, footwear analysis, muscular strength and flexibility and you have a fully personalized easy to understand GAiT Profile. Your individual biomechanics will be compared to a database of over 1000 gender matched injury free runners. From that analysis, we can give you personalized recommendations about footwear, orthoses, stretching, strengthening, training and much more! With a better understanding of these factors, we can guide you back to activity after an injury and safely restore your ability.
If you’re not injured, understading your GAiT Profile may help to prevent injury. Research shows that 30-50% of runners will become injured at some point. Your GAiT Profile may uncover imbalances in your movement, foot type, and improper footwear choices that may pre-dispose you to injury. Furthermore, we’ll uncover the best possible shoe for you. While we can’t guarantee injury free performance, we can guarantee to help put your best foot forward.
Starting at only $199, we offer various levels of analysis, depending on your level of activity and personal needs.
