Video Gait Analysis in Virginia Beach.

Running hurts, and you don’t know why. We record you running, slow it down frame by frame, and show you exactly where your form is asking for trouble.

What It Is

Why it hurts, frame by frame.

You’ve stretched, you’ve rested, you’ve bought new shoes twice. The pain always comes back around the same mile. Something in how you actually run is the real cause, and you can’t see it from the inside.

We record you running on a treadmill from multiple angles, then slow the footage down frame by frame. Overstriding, hip drop, poor cadence, and other patterns show up clearly on video, even the ones you can’t feel while you’re running.

Our founder, Dr. Stephen McKenzie, has completed multiple running-medicine courses, including video gait analysis, and that training shapes how every running evaluation here is run. It’s not a treadmill selfie. It’s a structured look at your mechanics, tied directly to your evaluation.

What It Helps

Where running mechanics change the outcome.

If it only hurts once you’re a mile or two in, your form under fatigue is usually the story.

Neck tension that creeps in by mile three Arm swing that tightens your shoulders on every run Back pain that only shows up after a few miles Runner’s knee that flares at the same mileage every time Hip drop that shows up on video before it shows up as pain The injury that keeps returning at the same point in training

Questions, Answered

Video Gait Analysis, no mystery.

No. This is about your mechanics, not your pace. Whether you run three miles a week or you’re training for a marathon, if running hurts in a predictable spot, seeing your actual form on video is what finds the reason.

Usually one dedicated session to record and break down your running, then a follow-up to check whether the changes we gave you actually changed your mechanics. It’s not an ongoing weekly add-on. It has a clear start and finish.

No. Virginia allows direct access, so you can start your evaluation with a Doctor of Physical Therapy right away, no referral required for the first 30 days of care. If your case needs a referral after that window, we’ll tell you and help you get one. Questions before then? Call us at (757) 742-3778.
