What to Expect

What to expect during your biomechanical assessment

We take a deep dive into your movement and mechanics to uncover what's really going on.

Gait and Running Analysis

Our sports podiatrists use a force plate treadmill and video gait analysis to assess your walking or running, identifying imbalances and movement inefficiencies that can cause injury.

Functional Movement Screening

We assess your strength, mobility and balance to detect weaknesses, improve biomechanics, and optimise performance for sport, training, and daily life.

Sports Strength and Conditioning

Tailored strength and conditioning programs designed by our sports podiatrists to build resilience, restore function, and prevent injuries.

Custom Foot Orthotics

Individually prescribed foot orthotics to improve alignment, relieve pain, and support long-term foot and lower limb health.

Shockwave Therapy, Dry Needling and Recovery

Advanced recovery therapies including shockwave therapy, dry needling, and compression boots to speed healing and reduce pain.

Sports Injury Treatment and Management

Evidence based podiatry treatment and management plans to get you back to sport, running, training or activities of daily living safely and faster.

Running and Footwear Recommendations

Expert footwear advice and running shoe recommendations based on your biomechanics to prevent injury and enhance movement.

Biomechanical Assessments

Comprehensive biomechanical assessments by our sports podiatrists to diagnose the cause of pain, improve movement, and reduce future injury risk.

  • Calf strains, hamstring injuries and gluteal tendinopathy impacting performance and recovery
  • Peroneal tendon pain, tendon overload and repetitive strain injuries from training or sport
  • Muscle tightness, weakness and movement imbalances contributing to recurring pain
  • Overuse injuries from running, gym training, sport or rapid increases in load

Knee, Hip and Lower Limb Conditions

  • Runner's knee, outer thigh / ITB syndrome and knee pain with stairs, squatting or running
  • Meniscus irritation, ligament related pain and lower limb overload injuries
  • Osgood-Schlatter's disease and knee growth plate injuries in sporty teenagers
  • Hip, knee and ankle pain impacting walking, training or sport
  • Hypermobility, leg length differences and biomechanical dysfunction affecting alignment
  • Persistent lower limb pain despite rest, massage or previous treatment
