Lasse Lindstrom | (Sunday Runner)
REVIEW:
I enjoy running a lot but had to stop my favourite hobby due to an injury with my meniscus. I was already considering a knee operation but thanks to the fantastic and very professional help of PhysioActive, I was able to get back on the running track. It is amazing what can be done under the guidance of a skilled physiotherapist.
Every runner is unique. Whether you’re training for your first 5K, preparing for a marathon, or simply trying to run pain-free, a running analysis helps you understand exactly how your body moves — and how to optimise it.
At PhysioActive, our physiotherapists provide running gait analysis in Singapore across our clinics at Camden Medical Centre (Orchard) and Jurong East. Using advanced motion-capture technology and physiotherapy expertise, we assess your gait patterns, posture, and weight distribution to uncover inefficiencies that may lead to pain or injury.
Our complete running analyses provide an in-depth look at your gait patterns and weight loads. We’ll examine how you carry your weight and which muscles and other structures are bearing the load. This allows us to offer precise recommendations for preventing injuries, running longer distances, and improving performance. Additionally, our physiotherapists can advise on footwear suited to your unique anatomy and running style.
By combining evidence-based assessment with personalised training insights, we help runners at every level move more efficiently, recover better, and achieve their performance goals safely.
Running analysis (also known as gait analysis) is a detailed assessment of how your body moves while you run. It identifies asymmetries, joint loading patterns, stride inefficiencies, and potential sources of pain or overuse injury.
At PhysioActive, each assessment is conducted by physiotherapists experienced in sports biomechanics and rehabilitation. We analyse your movement using high-speed video and pressure-sensitive technology, then interpret the data in the context of your training habits, footwear, and injury history.
Our goal is simple — to help you run better, faster, and safer. Whether you’re recovering from injury, aiming for your personal best, or starting your running journey, our running analysis in Singapore is tailored to your goals and physiology.

Lasse is an avid runner who enjoys long weekend runs and local community races. However, a persistent knee pain caused by a meniscus injury forced him to stop running altogether.
Like many recreational athletes, he initially assumed the pain would subside with rest — but it gradually worsened to the point where he began considering knee surgery.
That’s when Lasse sought help from the sports physiotherapy team at PhysioActive Singapore.
During his initial consultation, our physiotherapist in Orchard conducted a thorough evaluation, which included:
Instead of focusing only on pain relief, the PhysioActive team designed a comprehensive rehabilitation plan combining:
Within weeks, Lasse experienced reduced pain and improved knee stability.
Over the next few sessions, he gradually transitioned from walking drills to short jogs, then to full-distance running.
Thanks to consistent therapy and close monitoring by PhysioActive’s physiotherapists, Lasse avoided surgery and successfully returned to his running routine — stronger and more confident than before.

They refer to the same process. “Gait analysis” is the technical term for studying how you move during walking or running. At PhysioActive, we focus specifically on running gait analysis, using high-speed video to assess biomechanics related to running performance and injury risk.
Not at all. Many runners come to us proactively to prevent injuries and improve performance. Whether you’re new to running or chasing a marathon PB, analysing your form can make your training more efficient and sustainable.
Bring your usual running shoes, sports attire, and any wearables (Garmin, Strava data, or race videos) if you have them. These help our physiotherapists correlate real-world running data with in-clinic analysis.
Yes. Early-stage runners benefit greatly from form correction and movement awareness before developing inefficient habits. It’s also a confidence boost to know your body mechanics are working efficiently and safely.
Absolutely. Many running-related injuries originate from form inefficiencies, muscle imbalances, or over-striding. Identifying these allows your physiotherapist to design a precise rehab plan.
We recommend once every 6–12 months, or whenever you make a major change — such as new shoes, new training load, or post-injury recovery. Runners preparing for events often do a follow-up analysis during peak training to fine-tune mechanics.
You can schedule your running analysis at our Orchard (Camden Medical Centre) or Jurong East clinics. Book online or contact us directly to find the slot that fits your training schedule.
