Biomechanics & Orthotics
A biomechanics assessment looks at how you move during tasks that matter to you, such as walking or running. It can help shape exercise, footwear and activity advice. Orthoses are considered only if an assessment suggests they may be useful.
These are treatment methods considered within physiotherapy. Book an assessment so your physiotherapist can discuss what is suitable for your condition and goals.

Potential role
- Compares symptoms with walking, running or other relevant movement demands.
- Helps identify what can be changed in training, strength work or footwear.
- Informs a wider rehabilitation plan rather than relying on one device or gait change.
When it may be considered
- Running-related lower-limb symptoms
- Foot, ankle, knee, and hip overload patterns
- Recurrent pain linked to gait or loading mechanics
What to expect
- A discussion of symptoms, activity and footwear
- Movement or gait observation relevant to your goals
- An explanation of whether footwear advice, exercise or orthoses merit consideration
Where it fits
This is an assessment within physiotherapy. Any footwear or orthotic recommendation should follow your findings and be considered alongside strength and activity changes.
Important limits
A movement pattern alone does not diagnose the cause of pain. Ask us about orthotics availability and any separate costs before booking. Footwear or gait changes should be considered alongside the rest of your rehabilitation.
