Expert Running Gait Analysis in Tenafly, NJ
At Blue Iron Physio, every visit is one-on-one with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. We use 3D motion-capture gait analysis and objective strength testing to find the root cause of your running pain — and build a clear plan to get you back on the road, stronger than before.
Still Running Through Pain — Or Not Running?
Runners deserve more than rest, ice, and generic exercises. If your pain keeps coming back, it's not bad luck — it's a root cause that hasn't been found yet.
The Generic PT Trap
Seen by an Aide, Not a Doctor
No Clear Finish Line
You've done the band exercises. You've stretched your calves. But nobody's actually looked at how you run — or why the same injury keeps returning every season.
At most clinics, your evaluation lasts 20 minutes and the rest is supervised by an assistant. You never get real face time with the expert who can actually solve your problem.
You're told to 'take it easy' with no timeline, no milestones, and no objective data. You don't know if you're getting better — and neither does anyone else.

No. New Jersey is a direct access state — you can schedule your first visit at Blue Iron Physio without a doctor's referral.
​
What happens during a running gait analysis near me?

Your Doctor of Physical Therapy performs a full movement and strength screen, followed by a 3D motion-capture run analysis and ForceDecks force plate testing. You leave with a clear diagnosis, objective data, and a written individualized plan.
​
How long until I can run again?
