How to Be Great at Gait


Listen Later

In this episode of the RunDNA Podcast, Doug Adams dives deep into a topic he's dedicated his career to: how to excel at working with gait. Whether you're a physical therapist, athletic trainer, chiropractor, coach, or personal trainer, understanding gait analysis can transform your clients' performance and results.


Doug introduces the four essential pillars of becoming great at gait:


Biomechanics: The foundation of gait analysis—learn to identify inefficiencies and address root causes.

Movement Capabilities: Strength, mobility, and motor control as building blocks of efficient gait.

Gait Retraining: How to select, teach, and reinforce cues that stick and lead to lasting improvements.

Coaching: The art of effective communication and motivation, bridging analysis to actionable results.


This episode covers everything from identifying movement limitations to selecting the right cues and refining your coaching language. You'll also hear about exciting updates to the RunDNA live skills labs and resources designed to help you sharpen your skills and deliver better outcomes for your clients.
