Running Gait Analysis in Winston-Salem, NC
See How You Move. Fix What's Breaking You.
Runners come to us for gait analysis when injuries keep recurring or performance has stalled. We use video analysis to find the movement patterns driving the problem — one-on-one, every session.

Most Running Problems Come Back Because No One Looked at How You Run
You Rest, Recover, and Hit the Same Wall Again
Without understanding your mechanics, every return to training risks the same breakdown. Symptoms get addressed, but the pattern producing them keeps going.
Your Form Fixes Don't Map to Your Injury
Online cues, YouTube corrections, and shoe changes address what you can see — not the underlying mechanics making every training block a gamble.
Generic PT Doesn't Account for How You Move
Most clinics skip the gait screen. You get rehab built around your diagnosis, not the specific movement patterns actually producing the injury.
Why Runners in Winston-Salem Choose KPR for Gait Analysis
We work with road runners, trail athletes, and fitness-focused runners across Winston-Salem who want to understand the mechanics driving injury or limiting performance. Every gait assessment is one-on-one with the same specialist, start to finish.




Running Issues That Bring Athletes to KPR for Gait Analysis
Runners come to us for gait analysis when pain keeps recurring despite past care, when form feels inefficient, or when they want a data-driven picture before building toward a race.
IT Band and Lateral Knee Pain that keeps returning despite rest, stretching, and previous treatment
Runner's Knee and Patellofemoral Pain that limits training volume and flares with downhill running or mileage buildups
Achilles Tendinopathy and Calf Issues that limit speed work and flare with any meaningful increase in volume or intensity
Hip Pain and Stride Asymmetry that affects gait efficiency and makes high-mileage weeks hard to sustain without compensating
Plantar Fasciitis and Foot Pain that makes first steps uncomfortable and long runs unpredictable
Overstride Patterns and High Impact Loading that increase injury risk without always producing obvious pain signals
Post-Injury Return to Running for athletes who want an objective baseline before ramping mileage back up after time off

Why Runners Choose KPR for Gait Analysis and Running Rehab
Runners come to KPR for gait analysis when recurring injuries keep disrupting training — and keep coming back because seeing the mechanics change everything.



Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about running gait analysis, what it involves, and what to expect at KPR.
We use video-based analysis to assess your running mechanics across the full gait cycle — foot strike, hip drop, cadence, arm swing, and stride symmetry. Each finding connects directly to your treatment and return-to-run plan, not just a standalone correction.
No. Runners come to us for gait analysis when they're dealing with recurring pain and when they want to identify patterns that raise injury risk before they become a problem. The process is the same either way, and the findings connect to a clear plan regardless of where you're starting.
Yes. Many runners use gait analysis to identify inefficiencies that slow pace and increase fatigue over distance — not just to address injury. If you're building toward a race or increasing volume, a clear picture of your mechanics gives you a meaningful edge.
Not necessarily. We adjust your training load so you can keep running while we address the mechanics in question. Most runners continue training throughout their care — they just do it with smarter loading and clearer cues to avoid reinforcing the patterns we're actively changing.
We are in-network with Aetna, and HSA and FSA payments are accepted for all visits. For patients not on Aetna, we offer transparent cash-pay rates so you know exactly what you're paying. We can also provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
