Running Assessments

Outsource the thinking.

A smarter way to run.

Our running assessments are a simple, effective way to get to know your body better and run with more confidence. Led by an experienced biokineticist, they give recreational runners like you real, practical insights into how you move.

Available at both Durbanville and Cape Town practices, assessments focus on key areas like muscle strength, mobility, stability, running gait, biomechanics, shoes, VO₂ max, and training habits.

With this information, we can put together a personalised plan to help you train smarter, recover better, and reduce your risk of injury. That may include targeted strength work, shoe advice, and training recommendations that fit your goals.

Whether you’re just starting out or aiming to take your running to the next level, a running assessment is a great way to set yourself up for success.
