Understand how you move to support recovery and performance
Gait analysis provides insight into how you walk or run and how your movement patterns may be contributing to pain, injury, or inefficiency.
​
At The Physio Box, we use Ochy app software, a clinically validated video-based analysis tool, to assess movement objectively and guide rehabilitation and training recommendations.
​
What is Gait Analysis?
Gait analysis involves assessing your movement mechanics during walking or running. This helps identify patterns such as:
-
Asymmetries between sides
-
Load distribution issues
-
Movement strategies that may increase injury risk
-
Inefficiencies that affect performance or recovery
​
The goal isn’t to label movements as “good” or “bad”, but to understand what’s relevant to your body, history, and goals
How Gait Analysis Fits into Physiotherapy
Gait analysis is not a stand-alone diagnosis. It forms part of a broader physiotherapy assessment that considers:
​
-
Strength and control
-
Mobility
-
Training load and progression
-
Injury history
Findings are used to guide:
-
Rehabilitation exercises
-
Movement retraining
-
Training modifications
-
Return-to-running planning
