Many complaints while running are not caused by the training – but by unsuitable shoes. That is exactly why we analyse not just the shoe, but the person behind it, and find the cause of your complaints.

Knee pain

Misalignment from wrong cushioning or support transfers to the knee. The right shoe noticeably relieves the joint guidance.

Heel pain

For irritation of the heel region (e.g. heel spur), cushioning and heel guidance decide whether you can run pain-free.

Achilles tendon

Drop and heel hold directly influence the load on the Achilles tendon – we choose them specifically to suit you.

Back complaints

An optimised movement pattern affects the spine and can ease back complaints while running.

Overpronation

If the foot rolls inward, it needs targeted support. We detect overpronation in the gait analysis and respond with the right shoe type.

The first step is always a sound gait analysis – it shows where the complaints come from and which shoe helps.

Frequently asked questions about running complaints

Does the consultation replace a doctor’s visit?

No. Acute or persistent complaints belong with a doctor. We help reduce misalignment through the right shoe choice and fitting.

Does the right shoe help against knee pain?

Often yes. Many knee, heel or back complaints are linked to unsuitable shoes or overpronation, which we detect and address.

How do I know if I overpronate?

The gait analysis shows it clearly – on the treadmill video analysis we see the foot rolling inward in slow motion.

What helps with heel pain or a heel spur?

Cushioning and heel guidance decide whether you can run pain-free – we choose them to suit you.

What to do about Achilles tendon complaints?

Drop and heel hold directly influence the load on the Achilles tendon; we tune both to you.

Can running shoes affect back pain?

An optimised movement pattern reaches the spine and can ease back complaints while running.

I have fallen or flat arches – can you help?

Yes. Via foot scan and analysis we choose support and an insole that specifically relieve your arch.

When should I come to you with complaints?

As soon as recurring complaints appear – the earlier we find the cause in the analysis, the better.

Do new shoes help immediately or is there an adjustment period?

You feel much of it at once; with a significant change (e.g. drop) the body adapts over a few runs.
