Improve your running performance and biomechanics, whilst reducing the risk of injury with the Peak Performance team; The most comprehensive and elite level of running analysis.
Having an expert eye assess and critique your walking and running form can help identify key elements to address.
Treating the runner requires accurate assessment of the runner. Peak Performance Institute utilises the best available technology to do so.
A thorough running and movement analysis improves your understanding of the essential components in correct and effective running. This can lead to improving performance, preventing injury and ensuring optimal rehabilitation and recovery.
We utilise the state of the art, high speed video motion capture and Zebris pressure plate analysis in conjunction to VALD suite to enable us accurately explore the demands that running places upon the runner.
This allows us to develop efficient, powerful and resilient runners with interventions that are backed by sports science.
Improve your performance and stay injury free.

What does it do?
Running is a repetitive sport involving multiple loading cycles. The development of our unique running analysis allows us to get a clear insight into how you run and takes the guess work out what is occurring.
The use of our state of the art Zebris treadmill and motion capture system allows us to accurately assess the load you are exposing your body to, whilst you run as well as the precise joint angles when you move through the running cycle. This allows us to get to the root cause of your issues and develop an individualised program to ensure you are running pain free and at your best.
What if you are not injured?
Even better!
We assess our injured and uninjured runners the same way. The difference being that in the uninjured runner we are looking for potential areas of improvement that lead to a boost in performance and an increase in running economy. We usually don’t change a runners pattern or style completely especially if they are uninjured, however, some small changes can have a profound effect on performance.
How long does it take to change someone’s running?
In some cases changes can be made and felt immediately and implemented after your first session.
On the other hand, some things especially if complex or chronic, will take longer to modify as we are changing a learned movement pattern as well as strengthening specific areas that need improvement.
These changes take a little longer to take effect and are implemented over a 6-12 week time frame.
The good news is that our concept is all about managing the runner or athlete throughout the whole journey. We incorporate strength training into our sessions to ensure that you are performing specific running fundamental exercises with the correct form and patterning.
We see that this leads to better outcomes as this new movement pattern is being performed with our expert guidance and encouragement.
How will you know if you are improving?
This is what makes us unique.
As we have access to state-of-the-art Zebris “Medical” treadmill which allows us to track your changes over time.
This is an exceptional tool as it makes us accountable to achieve the improvements we promise. The proof is in the numbers and we use this to ensure we are on the right track to making you the best runner you can be. We re-assess you along the journey as well as using our equipment to provide real-time biofeedback to help develop more optimal movement patterns and loading strategies.
Often people see a clear improvement in their running times, hitting new PB’s and report a new found ease of running and reduction in pain.
This assessment can also assist with prescribing the right footwear and corrective exercises to reduce injury and improve performance.
Regardless of being a novice or an experienced runner we can help you achieve your peak performance!
