Innovation: Gait Analysis
Step Into the Future
Ever wondered how the way you walk might be affecting your overall health? At mPower Physical Therapy in downtown Chicago, we use advanced gait analysis to uncover the small details that make a big difference in your movement—and your recovery.
Gait analysis is the study of how you walk or run. While it may sound simple, the insights it provides can be powerful. With today’s cutting-edge technology, we’re able to assess your stride, posture, foot placement, joint angles, and more in real time. This helps us identify movement inefficiencies or imbalances that may be contributing to pain or limiting your performance.
Why It Matters
Many injuries and chronic pain issues can be traced back to poor gait mechanics. Whether you're dealing with knee pain, hip discomfort, or recurring back strain, how you move is often at the root.
Gait analysis helps us:
Pinpoint abnormal patterns or compensations
Detect weaknesses or alignment issues
Create personalized plans to improve mobility and reduce pain
Prevent future injuries by correcting movement early
This kind of precision leads to more effective treatments—and often, faster recovery.
Who Can Benefit?
Anyone! Runners, walkers, post-op patients, older adults, and people recovering from injury can all gain valuable insights from gait analysis. It's not just for athletes—it’s for anyone who wants to move better and feel better.
At mPower, we combine technology with expert care to help you walk with confidence. Ready to see how gait analysis can change the way you move? Schedule your appointment today.
