Get a Free Gait Analysis at Crescent City Classic Expo

We are excited to support runners preparing for one of New Orleans’ most popular road races by offering free gait analysis trials at the upcoming Crescent City Classic Expo in partnership with Varsity Sports. As a running focused physical therapy clinic serving both New Orleans and Baton Rouge, our goal is to help athletes improve performance while reducing their risk of injury during training and racing.

At The Stride Shop, we specialize in working with runners and endurance athletes who want to train more efficiently and stay consistent. Our approach combines detailed movement analysis, individualized strength programming, and practical injury prevention strategies. Being present at the Crescent City Classic Expo allows us to connect directly with the local running community and provide you access to licensed physical therapists who understand the physical demands of distance training and race preparation.

During the expo, runners will have the opportunity to receive complimentary gait screenings using the RunEasi AI system. This technology allows us to quickly evaluate running mechanics and provide immediate, actionable feedback. Participants will leave with simple, practical recommendations to improve running form, increase efficiency, and reduce the likelihood of common injuries such as knee pain, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon issues, and hip discomfort.

For runners looking for more detailed insight, we also offer advanced biomechanical analysis through our RunDNA System. This assessment provides deeper information about stride patterns, movement efficiency, and potential injury risks. These tools help runners make smarter training decisions, build long term consistency, and pursue meaningful performance goals.

We founded The Stride Shop in 2019 to create a performance driven alternative to traditional physical therapy. As physical therapists and lifelong runners, we understand the challenges athletes face while preparing for local events like the Crescent City Classic, The Louisiana Marathon and other endurance races across South Louisiana. Our focus is on individualized care that helps runners stay healthy while continuing to progress in their training.

The Crescent City Classic is one of the largest and most exciting races in New Orleans, bringing together thousands of runners each year. By offering free gait analysis at the race expo, we hope to provide valuable insights that runners can use immediately as they prepare for race day.

With locations in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, we remain committed to helping runners of all levels move better, feel stronger, and train with confidence through expert running physical therapy and performance focused care. We hope to see you there!
