Frequently asked questions

Everything runners ask before they get started.

Build my plan Book a free strategy call
What actually happens in a running gait analysis?
We film you running in 2D and break your stride down joint by joint — cadence, ground-contact time, foot strike, overstride and left-right symmetry. Then we walk you through what the numbers mean and what to do about them. The session runs for a full 60 minutes.
How long is the session?
Your running gait analysis runs for a full 60 minutes — enough time to capture your stride properly, review the numbers with you, and map out your personalised plan before you leave.
How do I get started?
Fill in the survey above so we can really customise the solution for you, identify potential limiting factors and then create a roadmap of exactly what the step-by-step process is to improve your running. Once you’ve completed the form you’ll be prompted to the booking calendar for your strategy call with our Clinical Director, Stephen — simply select a time and day that suits you and book your appointment. On the call, we’ll discuss the right solution for you to make sure your needs are met.
How is GymTherapy different from other clinics?
Most clinics give you a quick look on a treadmill and a generic sheet of stretches. We built a dedicated Run Lab — video gait analysis, force-plate strength testing and lab-grade performance testing (VO₂ Max, lactate) in one place, run by clinicians who’ve worked in professional sport. You walk out with objective numbers and a clear plan, not opinions.
Can your team’s elite sports experience help me, even if I’m not a professional athlete?
Absolutely. Our experience in elite sport means we apply the highest standards of assessment, rehabilitation and performance optimisation to every runner — regardless of your activity level. You get a thorough, evidence-based approach to your running and recovery, benefiting from strategies typically reserved for professional athletes.
Can this help me, even if I’m new to running?
Absolutely — new runners often get the most out of it. We set your foundations right from the start, flag anything that could become a problem as your mileage builds, and give you a clear plan to progress safely and actually enjoy your running.
What do I walk away with?
A clear report of your stride, the specific things holding your running back, and a personalised plan to improve them — whether that’s gait retraining, strength work, further testing (VO₂ Max, lactate, force plate) or coaching.
Is this covered by private health?
Yes — gait analysis performed by a physiotherapist is partially covered by most extras policies. We have HICAPS on-site, so your rebate is processed on the day. Check your specific cover with your insurer before booking.
Do I need a referral, and is it claimable?
No referral needed. The physiotherapy assessment is claimable on most private-health extras policies, with HICAPS on-site for on-the-spot rebates. We’re also NDIS, DVA, Medicare and WorkCover registered.
Where are your clinics?
Three Brisbane locations — West End, Newstead and Woolloongabba. Pick your preferred clinic when you book.

Meet the founder & Clinical Director

Hey, I’m Stephen

Clinical Director & Founder, GymTherapy

I started GymTherapy because I kept seeing the same thing — runners guessing at what was holding their running back, because no one had taken a proper, objective look at how they actually move. Our approach is built around data, not protocol. Every runner deserves a real answer, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

  • Previous experience as a physiotherapist in the English Premier League, English Football League & with professional endurance athletes
  • Specialist in data-driven movement assessment & performance
  • Brings the technology used in professional sport to everyday runners
  • An endurance runner himself — marathons and ultramarathons
  • Endurance running coach
Trusted from the touchline to the start line
