Until a little while ago, whenever I saw an athlete running with a heel strike, I couldn't help but call out to him and encourage him to change the way he puts his foot on the ground. But in the end, is this really necessary for every runner?
Your running form is more than what meets the eye — especially from the side. Some of the most telling signs of inefficiency, instability, or injury risk are only visible from the back. That’s why Ochy’s back-view analysis just became a game-changer.
With a simple rear-facing video on a treadmill, the Ochy App now delivers lab-grade gait insights that reveal movement patterns hidden from side view alone — all in under 60 seconds.
From the rear, your gait reveals crucial aspects of movement control and alignment. With this update, Ochy detects and analyzes three key markers that impact your performance and injury risk:
These issues can lead to inefficiencies, overuse injuries, and long-term problems if left unaddressed. With Ochy, you can now identify them early — and fix them fast.
This isn’t just an analysis update — it’s a transformation. With this release, Ochy goes beyond identifying movement issues. It now provides personalized corrective exercises tailored to your unique rear-view results.
Each low-score area in your back-view assessment triggers expert-designed drills built by physiotherapists and biomechanists. You’ll receive:
Everything is explained with clear visuals and scoring, so you know exactly where you stand — and how to improve.

Need to strengthen but don't want to lock yourself in a gym? We understand you! And that's why I've concocted 10 possible exercises to do at home without weight training equipment. These exercises will allow you to work on the specific movements of the runner based on body mechanics, posture, coordination and proprioception.
If you can't take three strides without pain along your shin, if you can't put pressure on it, or if there is a burning sensation and pain when you lift your foot to the sky, you are probably suffering from what is called shin splints.
Running is fun! But often we can encounter small problems such as pain, injuries, not progressing as wanted.... This can be due to a variety of factors including eating and drinking before running, poor warm-up and stretching, unsuitable clothing.
