3D Running Gait Analysis at Healthy Baller

At Healthy Baller, we believe that understanding how you move is the key to unlocking better performance and staying injury-free. Our 3D Running Gait Analysis is a cutting-edge evaluation of your running mechanics. Using advanced motion-capture technology combined with expert insight, we break down every detail of your stride—posture, joint movement, and foot mechanics, to reveal inefficiencies or imbalances that may be holding you back.

This isn’t just about running faster, it’s about running smarter, moving more efficiently, and protecting your body from unnecessary stress.

Our 3D Running Analysis helps you:

  • Reduce pain and prevent injuries in areas like the ankles, knees, hips, or back

  • Improve running efficiency, saving energy and enhancing performance

  • Address root causes of recurring aches or overuse injuries

  • Recover smarter after an injury with a plan tailored to your movement patterns

Whether you’re looking to prevent injuries or uncover the root cause of recurring pain, an athlete aiming to optimize performance, a recreational runner wanting to stay pain-free, or someone returning to running after an injury, this detailed analysis provides the clarity and confidence you need to move better.

Runners Aiming to Enhance Performance
For runners, optimizing stride mechanics can mean the difference between hitting a personal best and struggling through training. Gait analysis highlights inefficiencies in your movement so you can fine-tune your form, conserve energy, and reduce the risk of overuse injuries.

Individuals Recovering from Injuries
If you’re returning from an injury, gait analysis can reveal compensatory movement patterns that may be slowing your recovery. Addressing these issues helps you regain strength, mobility, and confidence in your stride.

People with Chronic Pain
Persistent pain in areas like the hips, knees, ankles, or lower back often stems from underlying gait issues. By pinpointing the root cause, we can design targeted interventions to alleviate pain and improve overall function.

Athletes Looking to Prevent Injuries
No matter your sport, proper biomechanics are essential for staying injury-free. A detailed analysis can detect subtle imbalances or weaknesses before they become problems, helping you stay healthy and performing at your best.

Older Adults Improving Balance and Stability
Gait analysis isn’t just for athletes, it’s also valuable for older adults. By identifying balance or mobility challenges, we can recommend strategies to improve stability and reduce the risk of falls, helping you move with more confidence.
