Meet Your Running Analysis Specialists

Dr. Kelsey Stromberg
PT, DPT
Running Gait Analysis β’ Running Rehabilitation β’ Performance Optimization
Location: Lake Como and East Brunswick
Dr. Kelsey takes a performance-minded approach to working with runners, using individualized care and running gait analysis to address injury, movement inefficiency, and training setbacks. As a runner herself, she understands the physical and mental demands of training and of time away from it.
Her background in orthopedic and neurologic care allows her to assess the full movement system and guide runners back to efficient, durable, pain-free running. Runners consistently point to her detailed written reports and her follow-up between visits.

Dr. Christine Martirez
PT, DPT, PCES β’ Certified Running Analysis Specialist
Running Biomechanics β’ Women’s Performance Health β’ Pelvic Floor Therapy
Location: East Brunswick
Dr. Christine combines advanced running analysis with specialized pelvic floor expertise, which makes her uniquely qualified to help female athletes work through injuries and performance limitations that general physical therapy tends to miss.
Her background as a competitive powerlifter gives her deep insight into force production, biomechanics, and rehabilitation. Runners often come to her after months of recurring hip, glute, or pelvic-related pain that never resolved elsewhere.
See What You’ll Receive
Our advanced running analysis provides you with comprehensive data and actionable
insights. Here’s what your detailed report includes:

Sample Gait Report
Comprehensive Kinetic Report
Receive a detailed PDF analysis showing your impact loading, dynamic stability, and symmetry scores. Each metric is explained in plain language with visual graphs and personalized recommendations. Your report is emailed to you after your visit, so you have your results and your plan in writing.
What’s Measured:
Impact magnitude, impact duration, dynamic stability, left/right symmetry, stride patterns, and injury risk indicators.

Before/After Metrics
Track Your Progress
See measurable improvements in your running biomechanics. Our follow-up analyses show exactly how your form has changed and which interventions are working.
Real Results:
Progress is measured, not assumed, which is how we decide when you’re ready for more volume or intensity.

Technology In Action
Wearable Sensor Technology
University-grade wearable sensors capture over 100 data points per second while you run. This technology was once exclusive to research labsβnow available to you.
The Science:
Real-time kinetic analysis measuring ground reaction forces, loading rates, and movement quality with research-grade accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many visits will I need?
Fewer than most runners expect. Many see meaningful change in three to five visits over six to eight weeks. Sessions are typically spaced three to four weeks apart so you have time to train, apply the plan, and show measurable progress before your next visit.
What happens between visits?
You leave with a written report, a personalized strength and return-to-run plan, and specific things to monitor while you run. Your therapist follows up by email between visits, checks your progress, and adjusts your program based on how your training is going. You are not left to figure it out on your own.
What’s the difference between running analysis and regular PT?
Traditional physical therapy often focuses on treating symptoms. Our running analysis uses biomechanical data, force metrics, and movement assessment to identify why pain is occurring, then addresses those drivers directly. Many runners come to us after PT, chiropractic, or online coaching didn’t hold. The difference is that we measure what’s driving the problem instead of guessing at it.
Do I have to commit to a package?
No. Many runners start with a single running analysis. Packages are available for runners who want structured follow-up, guided progression, and long-term improvement. We do not schedule visits you don’t need. If your plan is working and you’re progressing on your own, we’ll tell you that.
What happens during the first visit?
Your first visit includes:
- A full movement and running assessment
- Biomechanical and force analysis
- Review of findings and key contributors to pain or inefficiency
- Clear recommendations for next steps
You’ll leave understanding what’s happening and what to do about it.
Is this just for injured runners?
No. We work with:
- Runners dealing with pain or recurring injuries
- Runners returning from injury
- Runners who want to improve efficiency, durability, and performance
Many runners start with pain relief and continue with performance-focused care.
Will you tell me to stop running?
Our goal is to keep you running whenever safely possible. Recommendations are based on load management, mechanics, and capacity β not blanket rest unless truly necessary.
How is this different from a run store gait analysis or coaching session?
Our analysis is:
- Performed by licensed physical therapists
- Medical and performance-informed
- Focused on injury risk, pain drivers, and durability β not just shoe selection
This is clinical insight applied to real-world running.
Do I need a referral from my doctor?
No referral is needed to schedule a running analysis or start care. If appropriate, we can share findings with your physician after your evaluation.
Is this physical therapy?
Our running analysis and follow-up care are performed by licensed physical therapists. We focus on identifying why running hurts and improving how your body absorbs and produces force when you run.
Is this covered by insurance?
We are an out-of-network practice. In some cases, when pain affects daily activities (such as walking, standing, or work tasks), services may qualify as physical therapy and be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan and is never guaranteed.
We’re happy to provide documentation if needed.
Do you take my insurance?
We do not bill insurance directly. Payment is collected at the time of service, and we can submit claims or provide paperwork for potential reimbursement when applicable.
Who performs the running analysis?
All running analyses are performed by licensed physical therapists with advanced training in running biomechanics, sports rehab, and performance.
What if I’m not sure this is right for me?
That’s common. Most runners start with a running analysis to get clarity before deciding on next steps. If you’re unsure, our team is happy to help you decide if this is a good fit.
