Expert Running Gait Analysis in Bend, OR
You run trails, log miles, and push limits — the last thing you need is an injury slowing you down. At Capacity Performance Physical Therapy, our running gait analysis in Bend, OR uses force plates, video assessment, and expert DPT evaluation to identify the root cause of your pain and get you back on the road or trail stronger than before.
Still Running Through Pain — or Not Running at All?
Generic PT Didn't Work
You've tried the usual route — a few sessions, a printout of exercises, and a handoff to a tech. The pain came back. You deserve one-on-one time with an actual Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in runners.
Most runners in Bend don't need more rest. They need someone to find what's actually broken in their movement — and fix it for good.
You Don't Know Why You Keep Getting Injured
IT band flaring up again? Achilles always tight? Recurring injuries are a signal that something in your movement pattern needs to change — not just be rested and taped.
You're Losing Fitness You Worked Hard to Build
Every week off the trail is a week of lost fitness, missed races, and eroding momentum. The longer the root cause goes unaddressed, the harder the climb back to full performance.
Capacity Performance Physical Therapy is Bend's premier destination for running gait analysis and sports rehabilitation. We combine sports-science testing tools typically reserved for professional teams — force plates, VALD testing, and video gait assessment — with the hands-on expertise of RRCA-certified run coaches and Doctors of Physical Therapy who are runners themselves.
60+ minute, 1-on-1 sessions — you work exclusively with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, never an aide or tech
Pro-team testing tools: force plates, VALD testing, running gait analysis, and return-to-sport benchmarks under one roof
24-hour text access to your therapist between visits for accountability, adjustments, and questions
