How do we differ from gait analysis done in sports shops?
Gait analysis provided by sports shops is on the increase. They offer this service in order to find out what type of running style you have, to sell you the correct trainer. Most of the people performing the gait analysis are neither medically trained nor a HPC registered podiatrist, therefore they can only observe your running style (gait) to recommend a “best fit” trainer. More importantly they are not able to tell you why your foot functions the way it does or diagnose your sports injury, because of this they cannot provide a personailised solution.
