Inside The Gait Lab:

where biomechanics, coaching and rehab meet

At The Gait Lab, we start with what’s measurable. We use research-grade tools—a 3D markerless motion capture system and a single-belt force plate treadmill, ideal for analyzing the true demands of running. This allows us to capture high-quality data on the forces your body absorbs and generates with each step—measuring asymmetries, timing, loading, braking and propulsion.

But here’s the key difference: we don’t just hand you the data. We teach you how to use it.

“She clearly communicates what she’s testing, what she learned about your body and movement, and what you can do to improve—all in a very kind and clear manner.” – Sara G.

Understanding your running mechanics doesn’t require a biomechanics degree. At The Gait Lab, we translate complex force and motion data into clear insights and practical coaching to help you run stronger and more resilient.

“She also has top-quality, specialized equipment and data analysis that allows you to see exactly what your body is doing.” – Sara G.

Whether you’re managing long-standing injuries or chasing a PR, this level of insight is a powerful tool for meaningful change.

Solving the Root Cause:

Why You Hurt, and Why It Keeps Coming Back

Most injuries don’t come from one bad step—they come from thousands of slightly off-kilter ones. That’s why we go beyond treating pain and look for the movement patterns that create it.

“Laura is a brilliant PT. She identifies the root cause of issues and develops a plan to address them and build long-term, sustainable running health.” – Daniel G.

Whether you’ve seen multiple PTs, tried to “stretch it out,” or blamed your shoes, chances are you’ve never been shown why the issue started in the first place. At The Gait Lab, we take a systems-based view of your movement—hip control, foot mechanics, joint timing—to find the biomechanical glitch that’s quietly creating overload.

“I tried to rehab it on my own as well as visit two different PTs… after not seeing any improvement, I was referred to Laura by a friend and the experience was incredible.” – Erin B.

By identifying the actual source of stress—whether it’s too much force through your heel, excessive hip extension, or collapse at midstance—we’re able to address the problem at its origin, not just treat the symptoms.

Coaching That Moves With You: Performance Beyond Rehab

At The Gait Lab, we believe that rehab shouldn’t stop when the pain goes away—and coaching shouldn’t be separate from your care. That’s why we approach performance the same way we approach injury: with specificity, intention, and long-term development in mind.

“Laura’s approach is focused not only on treating injuries, but also on preventing them.” – Isabel B.

What sets our coaching apart is how deeply it’s rooted in your biomechanics. Rather than prescribing a generic training plan, we tailor your mileage, workouts, and cues based on your force profiles, your run form, and movement efficiency.

 “Every time I see her, I take something new away that helps my running form.” – Matthew G.

 “She is committed to not only healing, but she provides training plans to keep athletes moving and engaged.” – Holly M.

We collaborate with your coaches, strength trainers, or other providers to make sure everyone is aligned.

“As a running expert and coach, I feel completely confident sending my athletes to The Gait Lab… a collaborative, full-team approach.” – Lindsey H.

Return to Sport is a Process—Not a Timeline

One of the biggest mistakes athletes make is assuming they’re ready to return just because their injury has “healed.” But readiness isn't about the calendar—it's about capacity, control, and confidence.

“I sprained my ankle really bad… after not seeing any improvement, I was referred to Laura… and the experience was incredible.” – Erin B.

The goal isn’t just to get you back to your sport. The goal is to get you back better—more coordinated, more powerful, and more in tune with your movement than before.

“She has gotten me back from a few injuries and prevented many more! Is also an outdoor athlete herself so she just gets it.” – Andrew W.

We look at your return not just through a physical lens, but through a resilience lens:
- Can your body tolerate sport-specific forces?
- Do you have the movement quality and strength to absorb and redirect load?
- Do you trust your body again?

“A spine specialist referred me to Laura… I’m very excited to have found a practitioner who really gets what it means to move, train, and live well.” – D.C.

Built to Last: Supporting the Lifelong Athlete

Athleticism doesn’t have an expiration date—and we’re proving that every day.

Not every athlete is chasing podiums—but many are chasing something far more meaningful: longevity. At The Gait Lab, we specialize in helping athletes stay active and high-performing through every season of life.

“Laura has helped me improve my strength and form so that I can continue running, skiing, etc., for many years!” – Sara G.

One of our current clients, an 87-year-old marathoner, is preparing to run his 75th marathon. He trains consistently, lifts heavy, follows his plan almost to a tee (even if he gets a little overzealous with his pace)—and shows no signs of slowing down.

“Love the Gait Lab! Was having some major hip issues preventing me from running and skate skiing. Laura helped me through all of that and I just finished the PC Trail Series Half Marathon!” – Tim A.

“Best PT ever! Extremely dialed with what she does after so many years of experience.” – Andrew W.

We don’t just help you return to sport. We help you stay in the game for life.
