Achieve your first mile, a 5K personal best, a marathon, or improve your speed and endurance in a particular sport - whatever your goal, we can help.

Your coach, Angus Wood, is a certified Running Technique Coach, a qualified Osteopath and a Dynamic Movement Specialist, who offers expert guidance for adults and children. He is passionate and dedicated to helping you optimize your movement and with over 15 years experience he is well equipped to take your running to the next level.

This Analysis is not just for runners, sports people and triathletes 

We can also help people who are recovering from surgery, who want to improve balance, age-related walking problems (fall prevention), stroke rehabilitation, children who suffer with Dyspraxia and more. View the below video for more info!

The video on the right is a case study of a patient. Him and his father came to us for help with his running technique and speed. As you can see, after 6 sessions, we have been able to improve his stride, stability, shoulder position and arm carriage. He now finds it easier and more comfortable to run at a set pace by putting into practice everything he has learnt. 

To start your journey, book in your initial session

The one hour session begins with a medical history to discuss any musculoskeletal issues, your activity levels/training and your general health. Your personal aims and objectives are discussed along with your end goal. This is followed by a detailed musculoskeletal assessment of your strength, flexibility, motor-control and stability and then a state-of-the-art biomechanical video analysis of you walking/running on the treadmill to assess functional movement patterns whilst highlighting dysfunction. The feedback on the data will be used to provide you with evidence-based recommendations, which might include exercise therapy, further treatment and gait retraining.

Client Feedback

Due to an old injury, my ability to run got compromised. I can feel an amazing improvement and I am now gradually back on running. He has been doing an amazing work as his treatments have been helping to reduce pain, improving my daily life as well.
