Most health professionals are guessing when it comes to running assessment. There's a better way.

The MAT Running Course is a complete, evidence-informed framework for data-driven running assessment — created and taught by Sports Chiropractor and Running Coach Luke Nelson. Designed for physios, chiropractors, exercise scientists and coaches who want to identify the root cause of injury, reduce recurrence, and become the practitioner every runner in their area trusts.

IS THIS COURSE FOR YOU?

This course is for health professionals who:

Work with runners but feel uncertain about which assessments to actually use
Keep seeing the same running injuries recurring — and want to know why
Want to attract more running clients (and charge accordingly for specialist services)
Have limited time for gait analysis and need a systematic, efficient process
Are looking for CPD/CE hours that will directly improve your clinical practice
Want to use the latest technology — video analysis, sensor-based tools — but aren't sure where to start

WHAT CHANGES AFTER THIS COURSE

You'll have a system, not just skills.

Running assessment isn't about memorising a checklist. It's about having a framework that helps you ask the right questions, identify the right patterns, and prescribe the right interventions — every time, for every runner.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

Conduct a complete running assessment using video, sensors, and functional testing — in a clinical timeframe
Identify the root cause of common running injuries rather than treating symptoms
Implement running assessment services in your practice immediately — no waiting, no guessing
Prescribe evidence-informed training, footwear and rehabilitation recommendations with confidence
Build a reputation as the go-to practitioner for runners in your area

YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Luke Nelson created the MAT Running Course after more than a decade of working with runners in clinical practice — and finding that most available training simply didn't translate to the assessment table.

Luke is a Sports Chiropractor, Certified Running Coach, and Certified Strength & Conditioning Coach with a Masters in Sports Science. He has worked with runners at every level — from recreational athletes to competitive performers — and developed this course as the practical, evidence-informed resource he wished had existed when he started.

As a marathon runner and Ironman triathlete, Luke understands the sport from both sides. Everything in this course has been built from real clinical experience — tested, refined, and proven to work in practice.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need expensive equipment to apply what I learn?
No. The course covers both high-tech and low-tech approaches. Video analysis can be done with a smartphone. The RunScribe technology is introduced as an optional enhancement — not a requirement.

Is this relevant if I mostly see recreational runners?
Absolutely. The framework applies to runners at all levels — from weekend warriors to competitive athletes. If they run, this course is relevant.

How long do I have access to the online course?
Lifetime. Once you enrol, the content is yours to revisit anytime.

Is the Face-to-face course the same content as online?
Yes, both formats cover the same curriculum. The face-to-face adds hands-on practice and live feedback from Luke directly.

Is there a payment plan?
Yes, the online course is available in 3 instalments. Contact us for team discounts if enrolling multiple staff from the same clinic.
