Every part of the RunReady Assessment is designed to help you hit a specific goal. We assess how your body moves, match you to the right footwear, and prescribe the right training. This isn't just about fixing pain, it's about unlocking performance, staying consistent, and running with confidence.
RunReady Movement Assessment
In your first session, we look at how you Absorb impact, Bounce forward, and maintain Stability — the three essentials that shape how well you run.
- —You'll go through a full-body movement test to get your RunReady Score across Absorb, Bounce, and Stability, plus a footwear Match based on how you move.
- —You'll leave with a personalized plan and exercise program that shows what to fix, what to wear, and how to train.
- —Your Score gives you a clear path to your goal, whether that's running longer, running faster, handling technical terrain with more control, or running pain-free and more consistently.
This session is ideal for any runner looking to build a stronger foundation or understand how ready they are to take on specific runs or training challenges.
RunReady Treadmill Assessment
Includes everything in the Movement Assessment, plus treadmill analysis for deeper insight and a Symmetry Score that shows how balanced your stride is.
- —You'll get everything included in the standard Movement Assessment: a full-body movement test, your RunReady Score across Absorb, Bounce, and Stability, and a footwear Match based on how you move.
- —On top of that, you'll complete a treadmill video analysis and receive your Symmetry Score, revealing imbalances that help refine your footwear match and exercise program with greater precision.
- —You'll get a clearer understanding of how each side loads and pushes, giving us insight into asymmetries that may lead to inefficiencies or compensations.
This session is best for runners preparing for a race, working toward a personal best, or looking to train with more precision while reducing injury risk.
Physiotherapy Assessment
Follow-Up Physiotherapy Session
Led by a physiotherapist, this session can be used to retest your Score, adjust your exercises, or focus on specific treatment based on how your body is responding. Depending on your needs, it may include movement coaching, manual therapy, or deeper reassessment to support performance, recovery, or pain management.
Ideal for runners checking in between sessions, progressing their plan and goals, or needing more focused time for ongoing issues.

RunReady Sessions
No. Your first session gives you a starting Score, but most runners need approx 3 to 5+ sessions to hit their goals. You'll follow your personalized RunReady plan to improve your mobility, strength, and adaptability.
We highly recommend booking a follow-up after your first session. Your plan is designed to improve over time, not in one visit. Follow-ups let us retest your Score, update your exercises, and keep your progress moving toward your goal. The runners who see the best results are the ones who stick to the full plan.
