You have a question about your running—but the appointment you need depends on what you want help with. You might be curious about your stride or shoes. You might instead have pain that has changed how far you can run, or stopped you from running altogether.
REVIVELAB's running-assessment post invited people to look at their running and discuss their goals. Before booking, it helps to separate a movement-focused running assessment from a clinical appointment for an injury.
What is a running assessment at REVIVELAB?
Our running assessment is a dedicated appointment with Danny Nguyen or Daniel Silva Mendes. Both are registered massage therapists at the clinic. The session includes a discussion of your goals, observation of running on the treadmill or turf, and exercise and footwear recommendations.
You can bring questions about how you currently run, changes you are considering or what to think about when choosing footwear. It is a chance to discuss observations in the context of your own training. It does not promise a particular race time, prevent every injury or identify a single perfect running style.
When pain is the main reason for booking
If an injury or pain is your main concern, contact the clinic before choosing Running Assessment in Jane. Tell the team what is happening so they can help you select an appropriate appointment, including physiotherapy where suitable.
The appointment name matters. A running assessment is not automatically a physiotherapy assessment, and watching you run is not a substitute for every kind of injury evaluation. Read our running-related pain and injury guide and physiotherapy page if you are comparing options.
What to bring to the conversation
Bring your usual running shoes and clothing you can move in. Think about your recent routine: the kinds of runs you do, how often you run and any recent changes you want to discuss. If you already keep a training log, it may help you describe those changes; you do not need to buy a device or create new data for the appointment.
Write down two or three questions you want answered. For example: What did you notice? Which recommendation would you start with? How would I know whether a change is useful? What should prompt me to contact the clinic again? If you have medical or rehabilitation instructions, mention them.
Leave knowing the next step
Ask your practitioner to explain recommendations in terms you can use. Discuss how they fit your current routine and whether another appointment or professional assessment is appropriate. If you are uncertain about a recommendation, ask before trying to apply it on your next run.
A useful session should give you a clear discussion of your questions and proposed next steps, not a guarantee about future performance.
