Specialising in gait analysis and biomechanics, we believe that a skilled practitioner is essential when it comes to analysing the foot and its actions.

Because the gait problem may not lie with the foot itself, a thorough skillful assessment of your biomechanics, including foot, lower limb and back assessment is carried out.

The outcome of the assessment will let us know where the problem lies. This will open up various treatment pathways, adapting them to find the right combination for you.

• Some problems can be rectified with manipulation, adjustment and exercise programmes
• Core strength training can alter posture, leading to a more efficient gait (walking pattern).
• Orthotics and specific exercises can be used to correct problems with the foot itself.
