Gait Analysis includes:
- A gait and biomechanics assessment for predictive injury insights
- Analysis of how your gait impacts your efficiency and speed
- A tailored exercise plan for your goals and lasting injury prevention
We focus on enhancing biomechanics through strength, flexibility, and tissue management. Our prehab approach identifies subtle gait and movement deficits, serving as predictive tools to prevent potential energy leaks and injuries. We build a program based on physical therapy standards to optimize efficiency and injury prevention, ensuring consistent and improved training.
Reviews from real clients:
"I really appreciate the very in depth analysis of my feet and ankles and that I came away with specific exercises for each foot. If I could pass on one thing to fellow runners is not to underestimate how important it is to do strength and support exercises to keep you healthy and injury free. It's very difficult to find someone who understands the biomechanics of both strength training and running and how they can compliment each other. If I lived in Flagstaff, I'd definitely be a regular at Paragon.” ‑ Greg, Plano TX
“My shins NO longer hurt, my feet feel stronger and I no longer have ankle pain. I didn’t know that my left hip pain (that happens during long distance running) was caused by my right foot being weak in some areas along with my outer shin. My hip NO longer has pains while running. Ryan’s research on feet and body mechanics has improved my running and everyday life. Knowing that certain pains are caused by different areas of your body was mind blowing. I realized that you can buy as many shoes or inserts that you want, but it all comes down to your feet and how everything else intertwines.” ‑ Jessica
“My experience with Paragon was truly phenomenal. Ryan and Laurel are both extremely knowledgeable, experienced and warm people. I had a top notch gait analysis and training session and left with more knowledge about how to strengthen my body for running and stay injury-free. Best of all, the exercises Ryan shared with me were personalized to MY individual needs. It was clear that the folks at Paragon are passionate about what they do, and great at it. Loved my experience here!” -Siobhan
“Ryan and his team at Paragon were absolutely outstanding. From the moment we walked through the door, they greeted us with genuine warmth and made us feel right at home. We came in seeking a gait analysis for my son, a high school runner, in hopes of identifying any imbalances and developing a plan to enhance his running economy.
Ryan immediately understood our objective and wasted no time in getting to work. He not only prescribed a series of effective drills to strengthen my son's areas of weakness, but he also took the time to explain the purpose behind each exercise in great detail. It was clear that Ryan thought deeply about our goals and tailored the routine specifically to meet our needs. This level of personalized attention was truly impressive and set Paragon apart from other facilities we have been to in the past.
To add to our wonderful experience, Ryan's wife (presumably) was equally accommodating and friendly. She greeted us with a smile and went the extra mile to help us connect with other high school kids in the area, so that my son could find running partners and socialize during his summer stay. Her genuine kindness and willingness to assist truly made a lasting impression.
I cannot praise Paragon enough for their unparalleled expertise and exceptional customer service. Our visit surpassed all expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of sports performance analysis and training. This experience was nothing short of wonderful, leaving us feeling confident and excited about my son's continued progress. Thank you, Ryan and the Paragon team, for an outstanding experience!” - Jay
