Biomechanics & gait assessments
Fine-tune your movement
Your feet and lower limbs serve as the foundation of movement; even minor imbalances can lead to pain, discomfort and injury.
Our comprehensive biomechanical and gait assessments analyse how you walk, run and stand to identify underlying issues affecting your movement.
Utilising advanced techniques, our podiatrists assess foot alignment, muscle function and joint movement to pinpoint the causes of pain or inefficiencies.
Whether you’re an athlete aiming to optimise performance, experiencing foot, knee or back pain, or simply looking to improve comfort, our tailored assessments can help.
Based on these insights, we recommend personalised interventions, including:
- Imaging – as required for diagnostic and treatment purposes.
- Dry needling, shockwave therapy and myofascial treatment
- Orthotic therapy – devices designed to correct foot posture and alleviate discomfort.
- Footwear modifications – guidance on selecting shoes that provide optimal support and alignment.
- Targeted muscle rehabilitation and exercise prescriptions – specific exercises to strengthen muscles, enhance flexibility and improve overall function.
These interventions aim to enhance stability, prevent injuries and keep you moving with confidence.
