Gait Analysis

Service Description

Choosing the right trainers is more than picking a popular brand — it’s about biomechanics, load management, and injury prevention. Our comprehensive physiotherapy-led gait analysis uses structured clinical assessment and movement analysis to identify how your feet, ankles, knees, and hips function during walking or running. We assess: Foot posture and arch mechanics Pronation and loading patterns Cadence and symmetry Strength and mobility deficits Existing pain or injury risk factors Why It’s Beneficial Reduces injury risk – Identifies biomechanical contributors to common issues such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and knee pain. Improves performance – Optimises efficiency and load transfer through the kinetic chain. Prevents wasted money – Ensures you purchase trainers suited to your gait rather than marketing trends. Evidence-based recommendations – Clear clinical reasoning for neutral, stability, motion control, or maximal cushioning footwear. Measurable outcomes – Objective baseline measures for future comparison and progression. Whether you're a runner, gym-goer, or simply want comfortable everyday footwear, this assessment provides a tailored, clinically justified trainer recommendation specific to your biomechanics and goals.
