Biomechanics & Gait Assessments

Evidence based techniques & technology

We use evidence based assessment techniques and technology to develop a complete view of your movement. Gaining a detailed understanding of body mechanics, allows us to identify causes for foot, leg, hip and back problems.

This usually involves the examination of your feet, legs and hips in varied static and dynamic positions and a gait assessment, which analyses your walking style and overall body function.

Our advanced form of video gait analysis at our Plympton clinic records and assesses your posture and body motion. Once the results are reviewed, we are able to explain the source of your condition and develop an effective treatment solution tailored to you.
