Running Gait Analysis in Greenville, SC

Find out exactly what's happening when you run — and fix it before it becomes an injury.

Run Smarter. Stay Healthy. Perform Better.

If you're a runner in Greenville, SC dealing with recurring injuries or performance plateaus, a running gait analysis can change everything. At Swamp Rabbit Physiotherapy, we use high-speed video analysis to break down your running mechanics frame by frame — identifying the biomechanical issues that lead to pain, inefficiency, and injury.

This isn't a generic treadmill assessment. We evaluate your cadence, foot strike, hip drop, trunk rotation, and ground contact time, then build a targeted plan to correct what's off. Whether you're a beginner training for your first 5K or a competitive ultramarathoner, we tailor everything to your body and your goals.

Most running injuries don't come from one bad step — they come from thousands of repetitions with flawed mechanics. Our analysis catches those patterns early, so you can train harder and stay healthy.
