Cardiff Gait

Cardiff Gait is a sports massage therapist and gym located in Cardiff, specialising in sport and remedial massage, gait analysis, and strength and conditioning services. With their combined knowledge in biomechanics, sport science, strength and conditioning, and sports massage, Cardiff Gait offers a complete and holistic approach to improving client's performance and reducing the risk of injury.

At Cardiff Gait, they use state-of-the-art 3D markerless gait analysis software to analyse running or walking gait. This software provides a comprehensive overview of stride parameters, including landing mechanics, cadence, contact time, vertical force, and more. The software also identifies muscle force production, highlighting overworked or underworked muscles, as well as any asymmetries in force production between legs. Additionally, the analysis reveals the range of motion during the gait, helping to identify any restrictions.

By comparing this data to that of elite runners, clients can gain valuable insights into how their gait compares.

Leading the gait analysis is Graham Bell, a biomechanical specialist with a Master's in Sport and Exercise Science specialising in biomechanics. With over 10 years of experience working with running and walking gaits, Graham has developed a unique skill set in biomechanics and strength and conditioning. He has also worked with elite international athletes, including Olympic, World, European, and Commonwealth athletes from various sports. As a level 4 sport and remedial massage therapist, Graham provides top-quality massage services, drawing on his extensive knowledge of the body to treat even the most complex issues.

His expertise extends to working with elderly clients for fall prevention and providing treatment to individuals with cerebral palsy.

Cardiff Gait prides itself on staying up to date with the latest scientific information and continuously striving to further their understanding. They accomplish this by keeping abreast of journals such as the British Sport and Medical Journal and maintaining registration with The Sports Massage Association.
