Run Assessment Physiotherapy in Vancouver
Improve your running performance, reduce injury risk, and run with confidence through a detailed physiotherapy assessment.
What is a Run Assessment?
A run assessment at Hartwell Therapy & Wellness is a comprehensive physiotherapy session designed to evaluate how you move while running and identify factors that may be contributing to pain, inefficiency, or recurring injuries.
Whether you’re training for an event or simply looking to run more comfortably, our physiotherapists assess your movement patterns, running mechanics, and injury history to understand what’s happening beneath the surface.
Each assessment includes:
- Review of current and previous injuries
- Discussion of your training habits and goals
- Movement screening and strength assessment
- Running form analysis (including treadmill assessment when appropriate)
From there, we build a clear picture of how your body is functioning and where improvements can be made.
