The 3D Run Lab at Melbourne Foot Clinic is the best running assessment available right now. Utilising world-class technology that was previously only available for professional athletes,  all runners are able to review their running form.

In a single assessment, our 3D Run Lab can give you an insight and understanding of how to run at your best, diagnose biomechanical problems, provide training ideas and shoe recommendations. It’s a great starting point for beginners or long-term runners wanting a more in-depth analysis of their running.

Injury Assessment and Rehabilitation

Our 3 dimensional system is a fast, accurate diagnostic tool. We use the system to diagnose your foot problem and plan the best way to recover. Our goal is to minimise injury, understand risk factors and maximise performance.

The 3D Run Lab assessment and results will help expose the areas that are suspect to problems and give professional advice on how to stay injury free, or manage any existing issues. Strategies can include correcting your individual running style, strength and rehabilitation program, orthotics or shoe advice.

Rehabilitation

Getting movement, strength and function back into any area following injury or surgery is the principle behind rehabilitation.  It is often the case that there are deficits left over that have created a different or compensated change to your movement. 3D Run Lab can track your progress throughout rehabilitation, and this information will enable well-informed decisions on recovery, or a return to play. We will walk you through this assessment and provide it for you to use with your rehabilitation practitioner or coach.

With the ability to compare and review progress, you will benefit from more focused and effective training.

 

Exercise and Enjoyment

For the most part, we exercise to either stay fit and healthy or for fun. Running is perhaps the simplest and most time effective exercise we can undertake. This, however, all falls in a heap if we are injured. While some of us may have a running style and gait that allows for seamless weight and load transition as we glide over the land, for many of us there are aspects of our running we could improve.

3D Run Lab will help you run with precision, decrease risk of injury, and add to the enjoyment of running.

Performance

For the elite and sub-elite athlete, you are trying to achieve goals related to speed and performance. While training is your route to achieve this goal, ensuring your gait and your running technique are as perfect as they could be (or how to improve them) is what you and your coach would be prioritising.

The 3D Run Lab assessment and report will provide clarity for the runner, and enable your coach to help you achieve your best. It is the assessment every high-performance athlete needs.

Footwear

We can help you make the most practical decision about your running shoes. Have you ever wondered if the shoes you’re wearing are the right ones for you? If you’re a runner, it’s a question you are constantly asking yourself. Now, the ability of your shoes to assist your -performance can be measured more accurately than ever before. Shoe features are complex, and their impact on your pace and performance are all influential features that can alter movement, joint loads, torques, performance, and endurance.

In the 3D Run Lab, we can compare your running between shoes to ascertain the shoe most likely to deliver the best performance or to prevent injury.
