 At Milestones Movement Therapy, we’re thrilled to announce a game-changing addition for our runners and walkers: the Helix 3D Gait Analyzer by RunDNA. This advanced technology allows us to analyze movement in incredible detail, assessing three-dimensional gait mechanics in real-time to address pain, prevent injury, and optimize performance. So, what makes 3D gait analysis special? Unlike traditional assessment methods, the Helix 3D captures dynamic motion with precision, identifying subtle imbalances and inefficiencies that can affect everything from pain to performance. For anyone who runs or walks regularly, these insights are invaluable: they can pinpoint exactly where your body needs improvements in strength, mobility, and running or walking form. The best part? This isn’t just about runners trying to shave seconds off their mile times. Everyday walkers, casual runners, fitness enthusiasts, weekend warriors, or anyone looking to get started running and walking more with confidence can benefit. Our assessments include a full movement breakdown with customized feedback to improve your mechanics and help you perform at your best—whatever that means to you.  What to Expect at Your Appointment At your first visit you will sit down with a certified gait analyst to review your specific goals and running or walking related issues. We will take the time to understand your current running, walking, and strength training routines (if you have them) in addition to your footwear, running history and more! Once a thorough understanding of YOUR goals are achieved, we will have you engage in a brief warmup before getting on the treadmill for your running or walking analysis. Motion capture markers will be attached to your clothing on your pelvis, thighs, knees, shins, and ankles. Once you are running the motion capture cameras only need about 10 seconds of movement to receive highly reliable and accurate data! Based on the results from your assessment we will give you feedback on ways you can start to make improvements in your stride and practice them in real time!  Integrating with Our Coaching App: A Blueprint for Lasting Change
After your initial 3D gait analysis, we upload your results to our coaching app, creating a tailored blueprint for improvement. Through the app, you’ll receive clear, accessible guidance on strengthening, mobilizing, and realigning your stride to optimize your biomechanics. Your journey with us doesn’t stop at the initial assessment; our one-on-one coaching sessions continue to build on your gait analysis results, giving you the personalized support to make real, lasting changes. Ready to take your first step? If you're in Greater Sacramento Area, contact us to learn more about our gait analysis sessions and how they can help you achieve pain-free, optimal movement.
