Running Gait Analysis in Lexington, KY

Run With Purpose — Not Just Pain Management

Runners come to us when they want real answers about what's driving recurring pain or slowing them down. We use video-based gait analysis to identify mechanical patterns, then build a plan that connects what we find to your training and race goals.

Why Running Mechanics Problems Keep Coming Back

You Don't Know What's Actually Causing the Problem

You've adjusted your shoes, mileage, and warm-up, but nothing sticks. The issue is mechanical — and you can't feel it from the inside.

Every Training Week Becomes a Guessing Game

You're never sure if today's run will be fine or if you'll be limping by mile three. Training becomes tentative when you don't know what's actually going wrong.

The Same Spot Keeps Breaking Down at the Worst Time

Your hip, knee, or ankle holds up for a while — then flares right when your training matters most. Without a clear picture of your mechanics, the cycle repeats.

What Runners in Lexington Say

Patients often report fewer interruptions in training and feeling more prepared to handle mileage and race demands.

Amazing results with Becca! I’m a runner and have battled hip pain off and on for years. The chiropractor and stretching were not cutting it after I had a baby. I’m so glad I tried the Athlete House and am grateful I can run pain free again. Becca was able to get to the root of my problem to address and fix the actual cause of the pain. Give them a try! Investing in your health with PTs who specialize in working with people who want to stay active is the best investment you can make for yourself!

I came to see David with a running injury earlier this year and he was able to help and get me running again with a clear plan and help for recovery. I’ve loved working with him and can’t recommend his enough!
Alexandra Irvin
David is very a knowledgeable physical therapist. What stands out the most about David is his patience to explain and demonstrate the PT exercises, truly makes a person feel like the center of care. The facility is clean and welcoming. I feel much stronger with running and weight lifting after working with David for 5 sessions. Highly recommending The Athlete House!

Frequently Asked Questions

Here's what runners ask before getting started.

What does a running gait analysis involve?

We use video to assess your mechanics during an actual run. We review foot strike, cadence, hip drive, and loading patterns that contribute to injury and inefficiency. From there, we build a hands-on plan around what we find — not a generic form checklist.

Do I need to be injured to get a gait analysis?

No. Many runners come in proactively — to understand their mechanics before a problem develops or to improve efficiency ahead of a big training cycle. A gait assessment is just as valuable for performance as it is for injury management.

How is this different from the analysis at a running store?

Running store assessments focus on shoe selection. Our assessment looks at the full movement pattern — hip mechanics, cadence, loading, and strength imbalances — and connects the findings to a hands-on treatment and programming plan.

Can you help me improve my form even if I'm not in pain?

Yes. We work with runners who want to improve efficiency, build a more durable movement pattern, and run with fewer interruptions. You don't need an active injury to benefit from knowing your mechanics.

Where are you located and how do I get started?

We're located inside CrossFit 859 at 780 E Brannon Rd in Nicholasville, just outside SE Lexington. Start with a free discovery call to talk through your running goals and what you want to understand about your mechanics.
