Will this program teach me how to “run right”?

Gait analysis will likely be part of most runners’ programs. We combine the information we capture on tape with physical examination findings to design appropriate strength and flexibility programs. Sometimes this involves running-specific drills to enhance characteristics of a person’s stride. However, a “perfect” running style that can be applied to every person does not exist.

What is the difference between this clinic and information I can get from running magazines or Internet searches?

Each runner deserves individual attention to his or her personal make-up, fitness level, training goals and other factors that make the runner unique. Information that one obtains from a magazine or Web site can provide some good general pointers. The services that are provided at The Runners’ Clinic are individually tailored to you and provide more specific and effective ways to address your needs than any article aimed at thousands of people could.
