A standard Running Analysis (or walking) assessment consists of the following steps. Note that the full assessment process requires at least three hours of time, which can be done in multiple, one-hour visits (required if using health insurance) or in multiple-hour blocks of time if the client is paying out-of-pocket. 

Time:1 hour minimum

Time:1-2 hours

Time:1-5 hours

There are three options for payment for running gait analysis- insurance coverage , out of pocket or a hybrid.  Since musculoskeletal issues are involved, we can provide services in a way that will be covered under health insurance physical therapy benefits. This usually helps decrease out-of-pocket costs, but it requires providing services according to our insurance contract which covers one hour per day of treatment. Three to five hours is recommended to do a thorough biomechanical workup (which takes a minimum of three hours) and to begin the biomechanical correction process. Insurance use requires multiple, one hour visits, which poses scheduling pissues for some clients. 

The second option is a Runner’s Clinic or Runner’s Lab, which costs $375 for 3 hours, then $130 per hour for each additional hour. This method  allows more freedom in scheduling where we can schedule multiple-hour blocks of time. Again, three to five hours total is recommended. 

There is also a hybrid payment option where multiple hours are scheduled on one day with the first hour is billed to insurance and the remaining hours are paid out of pocket at the time of service.  

To help make the most of visit time, we appreciate receiving any treatment notes and imaging reports in advance of your visit.
