Running Program
An expert in running will provide a runner with the knowledge and ability to safely practice their sport and improve their performance. The expert will create a personalized program designed to help achieve one’s goals by assessing the runner and their running gait.
Who should sign up for the Running Program?
The running program is open to all runners, regardless of age and level.
Specifically, the program is particularly relevant for those who:
- Feel pain or discomfort before, during and / or after running sessions
- Wish to improve their performance
- Want to establish or restore a certain consistency
- Train for a sporting event (half-marathon, marathon, triathlon, etc.)
- Want to return to running after an injury or after stopping for any period of time
- Are new to running and want to start with a good foundation

What is the Running Program?
The program is a 60-minute session with a therapist who is certified by the Runner’s Clinic and has developed an expertise in running. The objective is to offer advice that will allow the runner to better perceive the movements and techniques, rather than intellectualize them.
The running program includes the following:
- Drawing a portrait of your health history
- Establishing your goals and training
- Performing a biomechanical analysis
- Performing a 3-step video analysis to assess your running gait pattern
- Creating a personalized program specific to running
- Advice on the choice and transition of running shoes, if necessary
- Recommendations on training progress and performance monitoring
Follow-up sessions may be recommended depending on your condition, your needs and your goals.
Physiotherapy, massage therapy, occupational therapy or nutritional programs can also be added to your program according to your needs.
