Running Gait Analysis & Evaluation — Lexington, KY
Sports Medicine Physician · MS, Exercise Physiology · Medical Acupuncturist
A Gait Evaluation Grounded in Clinical Depth
Running injuries are rarely about a single muscle or joint in isolation. They are the product of interconnected movement patterns, structural limitations, metabolic demands, and neuromuscular habits that compound over miles. Understanding them fully requires more than observation — it requires a clinical lens trained to see the whole system.
Whether you run competitively, recreationally, or simply want to move through your daily life without pain, your gait tells a story — and we know how to read it.
Dr. Sri brings a rare convergence of expertise to every evaluation — board-certified in Family Medicine and Integrative Medicine, with a CAQ in Sports Medicine, a Master's in Exercise Physiology, and certification in Medical Acupuncture. This means your stride is assessed not just for what it looks like in the moment, but for what it reveals about your movement history, your injury patterns, and your long-term potential — and treated with the full clinical toolkit that expertise makes possible.
Why a Professional Gait Evaluation?
Every runner and mover has a unique movement signature. A professional evaluation maps your real-time biomechanics to unlock two critical insights.
Injury Prevention & Efficiency
We analyze your movement patterns to identify subtle biomechanical inefficiencies early — before they evolve into painful overuse injuries that pull you off the road.
Overcoming Chronic Recurring Issues
If you have been caught in a cycle of repetitive injuries, this analysis exposes the hidden biomechanical root causes that standard resting exams completely miss.
Combine Your Gait Evaluation With a Consultation
If you need specialist treatment for an ongoing sports issue alongside your gait evaluation, consider booking an Integrative Sports Medicine Consultation. A Comprehensive Gait Evaluation can be added to that visit at a significant discount — giving you a complete clinical and biomechanical picture in a single appointment.
Your Evaluation Experience — 4 Steps in Under an Hour
Step 1 — Structural & Mobility Screen
Before you step onto the treadmill, Dr. Sri performs a targeted sports medicine orthopedic assessment evaluating key movement markers — including great toe extension, ankle dorsiflexion, and hip rotation mobility. What your body can and cannot do off the treadmill directly shapes what we see on it.
Step 2 — High-Speed Video Stride Capture
You move at your self-selected training pace while advanced digital cameras capture your mechanics from multiple high-resolution angles — front, side, and rear. Nothing is estimated. Everything is recorded.
Step 3 — RunDNA Biomechanical Mapping
Your video data is processed through the evidence-based RunDNA system — pinpointing the exact root causes of recurring breakdowns, kinetic asymmetries, and energy inefficiencies that slow you down and increase your injury risk over time.
Step 4 — Your Precision Prescription
You leave with a definitive digital report detailing your custom cadence targets, specific strength and mobility drills tailored to your individual findings, and a clinical shoe prescription for your next pair of footwear — grounded in what your biomechanics actually need, not what a shoe review website recommends.
Is This Evaluation Right for You?
The Injured Runner
Chronically struggling with runner's knee, IT band syndrome, shin splints, Achilles tendinopathy, or hip impingement — and tired of treating symptoms without addressing the cause.
The Performance Athlete
Triathletes, marathoners, and hybrid athletes looking to maximize running economy, reduce energy expenditure, and find free speed without adding training volume.
The Footwear Frustrated
Anyone who consistently experiences blisters, hot spots, foot numbness, or joint pain despite investing in high-end running shoes — or who has been told their shoes are fine but the pain persists.

Clinical note: Identifying a biomechanical pattern does not automatically predict injury — and not every finding requires intervention. Knowing your movement signature puts you in control of your long-term movement health.
