What is a running assessment at Peak Health?

A running assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your running form, fitness level, and potential for injury. It typically involves a biomechanical analysis of your running gait, strength and flexibility testing, and sometimes cardiovascular fitness assessment.

In this 60-minute running assessment, your Peak Health practitioner will perform a comprehensive physical exam including mobility screening, strength testing, functional assessment, and video analysis of your running form. This session will leave you with a plan for home exercises and appropriate running progressions to reach your goals.

Absolutely fantastic experience so far with Alyssa. I'm seeing her for carpal tunnel in both wrists, and she's improved my symptoms in a short period of time. Extremely thorough, knowledgeable, funny and experienced. She really goes above and beyond- I'm quite convinced she's magic? Also, the people at the front desk are so wonderful, I'm always met with such kindness and warmth. I come in for morning appointments, and it puts me in a good mood the rest of the day!

- Phillipa Cookson-Hills

I have been to see multiple practitioners for different issues and injuries and have been so impressed by the excellent and professional quality of service I have received from all. They all work together to diagnose and provide recommendations for the best type of treatments. For example, my massage therapist recommended me to a physiotherapist when she detected my soreness was actually a mobility issue. The facility is well maintained, clean, and uses top notch equipment to aide the practitioners in their appointments. The clinic seems well organized and my appointments have always run on time. Their online booking system makes it easy to schedule appointments myself and they direct bill my insurance company. It is definitely the best clinic I have been to for sports medicine and highly recommend it!

- Kimberly Casemore

Jessica's overall knowledge is commendable. She is a good listener and always suggests exercises you can easily perform at home to help with your situation. Jessica is a true professional who clearly enjoys her profession and takes pride in delivering a massage of high calibre using various techniques and tools.

- Maryse Bischoff

The team at Peak Health is amazing. My Fiance and I have been devoted customers for more than 5 years! We are monthly visitors and it is always a pleasure from check-in all the way to follow ups. Special shout out to Jessica E and Jana for always taking care of us.

- Sarah Campbell

Dr.Sjodin has been so helpful towards me while I’ve been dealing with post concussive syndrome. He is a wealth of knowledge, keeps up to date on his field, and has been very reassuring and supportive throughout this whole process. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Sjodin for concussion management and Chiropractic services.

- Danielle Manchak

There is no one I trust more with my daughter than my physio at Peak. She was able to assess my one-year-old in such a playful manner that my daughter now lights up when she sees her. Seeing a physiotherapist has also been really valuable in helping me understand developmental milestones and has been a great source of reassurance when I've had any concerns.

- Sarah B

I had knee surgery and then started seeing Kajal to begin my recovery. She built a comprehensive plan to restrengthen my knee, which was easy to follow and implement at home. After following the plan, I was able to return to competitive sport early and with full confidence.

- Chris S

I have been working with Sydney since she was still a student, and she is an incredibly skilled massage therapist. Her commitment to teaching her clients, setting clear boundaries/expectations and her communication style is such an important aspect of her therapeutic relationship with clients. I think you could get a great massage with many therapists, but Sydney really teaches you what your body has been doing, how to rehabilitate it, and helps to open up tight muscles you didn’t even know you had!

The goal of a running assessment is to identify any areas where you may be at risk of injury or where your performance could be improved. At Pea, we then use this information to create a personalized training plan that helps you achieve your running goals while minimizing the risk of injury.

During a running assessment, a Peak physiotherapist carefully observes your running form to identify any potential issues. We assess your stride length, foot strike, posture, and arm swing. We may also ask you to perform various strength and flexibility exercises to assess your muscle balance and overall mobility.

The specific components of a running assessment can vary depending on your needs and the expertise of the professional conducting the assessment. However, the overall goal is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of your running capabilities and identify any areas where you may benefit from targeted training or interventions.

Anyone who runs can benefit from a running assessment. A running assessment can provide valuable insights into your running form, fitness level, and potential for injury, whether you are a:

Runner experiencing pain or discomfort
Runner seeking to improve performance
New runner
Runner returning from injury

Ultimately, a running assessment at Peak Health is great for anyone who wants to improve their performance, reduce their risk of injury, and make running feel better overall!
