Core Podiatry
Biomechanical Assessment
If you experience pain in your feet, ankles, knees, hips, or back, it may be linked to the way your feet and legs move when you walk or stand. A biomechanical assessment helps us understand how your body moves, so we can identify any issues with alignment, balance, or movement that might be causing discomfort.

Whatâs Involved in a Biomechanical Assessment
During your appointment, our podiatrist will:
- Take a detailed history of your symptoms and lifestyle
- Examine your feet, legs, and posture while standing, and walking.
- Assess your joint movement, muscle strength, and flexibility
- Analyse how your feet and lower limbs move and bear weight
- Discuss possible treatment options, which may include exercises, footwear advice, or custom orthotics
What to Expect
Your biomechanical assessment is thorough but relaxed.
Weâll explain each step clearly and make sure you feel comfortable throughout. You may be asked to walk or perform simple movements while we observe how your feet and legs function. Once the assessment is complete, weâll talk you through our findings and create a treatment plan thatâs tailored to your needs and goals.
