What is gait
analysis & orthotics?
Did you know that lower limb pain is often caused by poor foot function and alignment?
Small problems in your feet can lead to subtle changes in your posture and walking mechanics, putting strain on other parts of your body. These changes can lead to pain in the ankles, hips, knees, and lower back.
Our gait scanner allows us to identify and treat discrepancies in your foot function that are causing your pain. Where required, custom-made orthotics (like insoles) are prescribed to correct imbalances, relieve pain and restore your body’s natural function.
How can gait analysis
& orthotics help you?
If you are suffering from lower limb discomfort, foot problems, or a sporting injury, our gait scan gets to the root of your pain, fast. Understanding your concern means we can treat it effectively and in the shortest time possible.
As well as prescribed orthotics (insoles), our practitioners may use rehabilitation programmes and hands-on manipulation to treat:
- Painful feet
- Bunions
- Hammer toes
- Arch or heel pain
- Leg or knee pain
- Hip or back pain
- Anterior knee pain
- Runner’s knee
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Flat feet
- Morton’s neuroma
- Overpronation
