Services
Biomechanics Assessment
Our biomechanics assessment analyses lower limb function through physical examination and pressure analysis. This service identifies structural imbalances causing pain during movement. Patients receive tailored footwear advice to address specific biomechanical needs.
Gait Analysis
Treadmill gait analysis captures movement patterns using video technology. This helps diagnose irregularities causing chronic pain. Runners and athletes benefit from precise running shoe recommendations based on their gait.
Orthoses Provision
We provide temporary and permanent orthoses tailored to individual foot structures. Custom EVA and 3D printed options address specific biomechanical issues. These devices help alleviate conditions like plantar fasciitis and Morton's neuroma.

Personalised exercise programmes strengthen affected areas and prevent recurrence. Exercises target muscle imbalances contributing to foot and ankle pain. Patients receive guidance on proper technique and progression.
