Gait and Running Assessment Box Hill - Understand your body, perform with purpose.
At Osteo Performance, we believe that the way you move tells the full story of how your body functions. Our Gait & Movement Analysis service helps identify the subtle patterns, imbalances, and compensations that lead to pain, inefficiency, or reduced athletic performance.
Why Gait and Movement Matter
Every step, jump, and change of direction is built on a chain of coordinated movements — from your feet and ankles up through your hips and spine.
When one link in that chain isn’t functioning efficiently, your body compensates — often leading to pain or loss of performance down the track.
Our Gait & Movement Analysis helps uncover these inefficiencies early, giving you the clarity to move with confidence and control.
What we assess
We take a holistic look at your body in motion — combining osteopathic knowledge, biomechanics, and strength-based rehab principles.
During your session, we assess:
Walking and Running Gait Mechanics — how your body loads and transfers force through each phase of movement
Foot and Ankle Function — pronation, stability, and propulsion mechanics
Hip and Pelvic Control — key to lower limb alignment and power generation
Postural Alignment and Coordination — how your upper body integrates with lower limb movement
Functional Movement Patterns — squats, lunges, or change-of-direction drills to assess real-world performance
We use both visual assessment and video analysis where appropriate to identify the root cause of inefficiency, pain, or restriction.

How the Procecss Works
1️⃣ Assessment – We analyse how you move through walking, running, and sport-specific movements.
2️⃣ Identify Key Patterns – Highlight restrictions, compensations, or imbalances.
3️⃣ Explain the Findings – We help you understand why you move the way you do and how it affects your body.
4️⃣ Develop a Plan – Combining manual therapy, corrective exercise, and load management to restore efficient, pain-free movement.
This structured approach allows us to create measurable, long-term improvements — not just short-term fixes.
Why We Focus on the Foot
At Osteo Performance, we place a strong emphasis on the foot and lower limb — your foundation for movement.
How your foot interacts with the ground directly affects knee control, hip rotation, and even spinal alignment.
By improving your foot mechanics, we can often resolve issues throughout the kinetic chain — helping you move with greater control, strength, and power.
