Why Gait Analysis Matters
No two runners move exactly alike. Your stride, foot strike, alignment and movement patterns are unique to you.
Gait analysis helps us understand how your body moves when you run, providing valuable insights into your running mechanics, potential imbalances and footwear needs. At Stride Haus, we go beyond traditional visual assessments. Using AI powered video analysis, biomechanical data and sports science expertise, we take a closer look at how you move to provide personalised recommendations.
Whether you're new to running, returning from injury or chasing your next personal best, understanding your stride is the first step towards making smarter decisions about your running.
Ochy AI tracks your joint angles frame by frame

Questions people ask.
Do I need gait analysis to buy running shoes?
No. Our team can help you find running shoes without a formal assessment. However, gait analysis gives us additional insight into how you move, helping us make more informed footwear recommendations.
I'm a beginner. Is gait analysis for me?
Absolutely. You don't need to be an experienced runner to benefit. We work with beginners, walkers, returning runners and experienced athletes.
What should I wear and bring?
Wear comfortable running clothes and bring your current running shoes. If you have a history of discomfort or injury, let us know before your assessment.
How long does an assessment take?
It depends on the package selected. Our introductory assessment is approximately 20 minutes, while more comprehensive assessments take longer. We'll confirm the time when you book.
Can gait analysis help if I have an injury?
It can provide useful information about your movement patterns and footwear, but it is not a medical diagnosis. For persistent pain or suspected injury, we recommend consulting an appropriate healthcare professional.
Can I buy running shoes without booking an assessment?
Yes. You're welcome to visit Stride Haus, browse our footwear and speak to our team about finding shoes suited to your needs.
Do you only cater for serious runners?
Not at all. From walkers and first-time 5K runners to Comrades athletes, Stride Haus is for everyone who wants to move better.
