It's all about reducing the negatives and increasing the positives!

Imagine a test in several steps where you could determine your very own unique running style which would provide you with the key elements to understanding your posture, flexibility and technique. This in turn will identify any muscle imbalances, reduce unnecessary muscle work, improve personal bests & prevent injuries from occurring.  Mitchell Phillips, a sports injury and postural rehabilitation specialist for 10 years, designed StrideUK as a tool to help understand why injuries and plateaus happen during the process of running.

'It's almost impossible to identify the true root of a problem in a normal 'static' clinic environment. This is exactly why you get so much conflicting advice from various health professionals. The only true way of understanding someones performance limitations or vulnerability to injury is to see them run.  However, considering that the human eye can only process a limited amount of information at any one time, you can't just rely on someone to watch and observe, you need a highly calibrated environment, with cameras surrounding the runner, plenty of good lighting and specific measuring points drawn onto the athlete to catch every minute change in movement. And that's exactly where we come in.
