Biomechanical Assessment

Optimising Your Movement with Footwork Pro Pressure Plate Analysis

Biomechanical assessments are specialized evaluations conducted by podiatrists to analyze the structure, function, and movement patterns of the lower limbs and feet. These assessments are essential for diagnosing and treating various musculoskeletal issues, as well as identifying potential causes of pain or discomfort during walking, running, or other activities.

What to Expect During Your Biomechanical Assessment:

1. Comprehensive Evaluation: Your appointment will begin with a thorough assessment of your medical history, lifestyle factors, and any specific concerns or symptoms you may have. Our experienced podiatrists will take the time to understand your individual needs and goals.

2. Physical Examination: You'll undergo a detailed physical examination, including observation of your posture, gait analysis (walking and running), and assessment of joint range of motion, muscle strength, and flexibility.

3. Footwork Pro Pressure Plate Analysis: We utilize state-of-the-art technology such as the Footwork Pro pressure plate to gather detailed data on your foot mechanics and distribution of pressure during walking or running. This advanced analysis provides valuable insights into areas of potential imbalance, asymmetry, or excessive pressure that may contribute to discomfort or injury.

4. Customized Treatment Plan: Based on the findings of the assessment, our podiatrists will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to address your unique biomechanical issues and goals. This may include orthotic therapy, footwear recommendations, exercises, stretching routines, or other interventions aimed at improving your foot function and relieving discomfort.

5. Custom-Made Orthotics: Following the analysis of your assessment, our podiatrists may advise custom-made orthotics to target distinct biomechanical concerns and ensure ideal support and alignment for your feet. Collaborating with a distinguished orthotics laboratory in Spain, we oversee the creation of insoles meticulously crafted according to our podiatrists' exact prescriptions. These bespoke orthotics are meticulously designed to accommodate your individual foot contours, delivering personalized support and unmatched comfort.
