In this episode, Dr. Heather — Sports Chiropractor and movement specialist — breaks down the powerful connection between your gait, your nervous system, and your performance as a runner.
If you’ve ever dealt with recurring tightness, one-sided injuries, or that frustrating feeling that your stride is “off,” this conversation will finally give you clarity. Dr. Heather explains:
✅ What a gait analysis actually measures
✅ How your brain and muscles communicate during each stride
✅ Why small movement inefficiencies become bigger injuries
✅ The hidden imbalances most runners don’t know they have
✅ How correcting your gait can lead to better performance, smoother miles, and faster recovery
You’ll walk away understanding that your stride tells a story — and when you learn how to read it, you gain the power to run stronger, longer, and pain-free.
