Biomechanical Analysis
A comprehensive assessment of how your feet, ankles, and lower limbs move — identifying the root causes of pain, discomfort, and injury.
Whether you're dealing with a sports injury, chronic foot pain, or recurring issues that haven't responded to other treatment, a biomechanical assessment provides the foundation for targeted, effective care.

What Is a Biomechanical Assessment?
Biomechanics is the study of how the body moves. A biomechanical assessment looks at the structure and function of your feet and lower limbs — examining alignment, joint range of motion, muscle strength, and how you walk or run.
Many conditions that cause pain in the feet, knees, hips, or lower back have a biomechanical component. Identifying and addressing these patterns is often the key to lasting relief.
What the Assessment Involves
A full assessment typically covers:
- Gait analysis — observing how you walk or run
- Postural and alignment assessment
- Joint range of motion testing
- Muscle strength and flexibility evaluation
- Footwear assessment and advice
- Discussion of symptoms, history, and activities
From this assessment, a personalised treatment plan is developed. This may include exercises, footwear modifications, orthotics, or other targeted interventions depending on your presentation.
Who Can Benefit
Biomechanical assessment is suitable for patients of all ages and activity levels. Common reasons to seek an assessment include:
- Heel or arch pain
- Knee, hip, or lower back pain related to foot mechanics
- Sports injuries or overuse conditions
- Flat feet or high arches causing discomfort
- Children with in-toeing, out-toeing, or growing pains
- Recurring injuries without a clear cause
