What are Performance Labs?
Performance labs at Active Health combine advanced motion analysis with corrective training to help you walk with less effort, run more efficiently, and stay steady through every step.
Each lab uses two LED sensor bars with over 100 tracking points and real-time, high-speed cameras to assess how your body moves across six distinct phases of gait or balance.
After capturing this data, we guide biofeedback sessions that correct the movement patterns that contribute to fatigue, discomfort, or instability.
Walk Lab
Our Walk Lab supports walkers at every level, from marathon competitors to casual evening strollers. Even golfers can benefit from walking more efficiently to preserve energy and reduce strain.
After analyzing the timing and distribution of movement through each motion phase, we coach personalized strategies that improve endurance, ease pain, and make walking feel more natural.
Run Lab
Running is one of the most injury-prone forms of activity, with nearly 80% of runners experiencing discomfort each year. Our Run Lab helps you train smarter. Using sensor feedback and real-time video, we evaluate stride mechanics and identify movement habits that contribute to issues like hamstring pulls, shin splints, or plantar fasciitis.
You’ll receive targeted coaching based on our refined methodology to protect your body, enhance recovery, and improve performance.
Balance Lab
Our Balance Lab focuses on helping you stay grounded. Whether you're an athlete in a sport that demands agility and control or an older adult navigating stability challenges, this lab is designed to improve balance and proprioception.
We assess how weight is distributed and how your body reacts to movement, then use biofeedback training to build confidence and reduce the risk of falls or instability in daily life.

Performance Labs FAQs
Can a performance lab really help me?
Performance labs are legitimate tools that use real-time motion tracking and biomechanical analysis to evaluate how your body moves. At Active Health, they’re an essential part of our evidence-informed care, helping improve movement quality and overall performance.
What is the purpose of doing performance testing?
The purpose of performance lab tests is to identify movement inefficiencies that can contribute to pain, fatigue, or injury. Understanding these patterns allows providers to create corrective plans that restore proper function and enhance performance.
Is a walk-in lab legit?
Walk-in labs are legitimate medical facilities that typically perform diagnostic tests such as blood draws. At Active Health, however, our labs focus on motion analysis rather than medical testing, helping you understand and improve the way your body moves.
Can performance labs help prevent future injuries?
Yes! Performance labs can help prevent future injuries by identifying and correcting mechanical imbalances early. This proactive approach reduces strain on joints, muscles, and nerves, promoting better alignment and long-term movement efficiency.
