Orthotics, Gait and Foot Posture Assessment

Biomechanics is the science of how and why the human body moves in the way it does. It is a valuable tool that can lead us to diagnose any issues contributing to lower limb pain.

The assessment involves the examination of the lower limbs, looking at their structure, alignment, strengths, and weaknesses. Your Podiatrist will also take into account your lifestyle needs and footwear.

A Biomechanical assessment is ideal for people with any ongoing pain in their feet, or unresolved pain elsewhere in the body, whether the pain stems from soft tissue injuries or sports-related injuries.

It is also useful for people suffering from pain in the lower back which is exacerbated by walking. The aim is to detect whether your lower limb biomechanics and gait are contributing to your pain/injury/problem.
