Biomechanics

​Biomechanics is the science of how the movements of your legs & feet affect your body. The detailed assessment involves taking a full history of the problem, checking the alignment of  your whole body combined with gait analysis (how you walk). 

Once the assessment has been completed the normal function of the lower limb will be explained  to you and how this relates to your symptoms.  The management / treatment of your symptoms will then be discussed. This usually involves  exercises, orthotics or insoles. 

Occasionally a referral to another health care professional can also be made. 

Examples of conditions treated are - ​

• ​Heel pain  ​
• Plantar fascitis  
• Flat feet  
• Excessive pronation  
• Achilles tendonitis  
• Shin splints  
• Iliotibial band syndrome (runners knee)  
• Leg length discrepancies  
• Metatarsalgia  
• Mortons neuroma  
• Tarsal  tunnel syndrome 
• Ligament sprains and rehabilitation
• Pain in the big toe joint due to bunions or hallux ridgidus/ limitus

Orthoses or insoles are heated moulded and adjusted to be specific to your requirements by the very experienced Podiatrist.  

Full bespoke casted devices are also available.
