Gait analysis & assessment services for sports injuries
A gait analysis will assess how you run or walk to help us understand why you are experiencing pain in various areas of your body.
In particular, Gait Analysis is the analysis of the alignment of the foot, knee, hip, spin, shoulder and head. When we walk, different forces pass around the foot, knee, hip and spine. The change in magnitude or angle of these force vectors can change the position/alignment of the joints of the body and this therefore can completely alter the muscle pattern around those joints.
Our clinicians will perform your gait analysis, talk you through the results and recommend a treatment for your particular condition.

What is a gait analysis?
Information can be collected throughout the gait analysis which collectively should be able to conclude which the areas of their body that are taking more load, and therefore either at risk of injury, overloaded and causing pain, or already injured as a result of these abnormal forces.
By the time the gait analysis appointment is complete the patient should understand how they walk or run, the effect this has on the joints of the body and how to improve this.
The gait analysis leads to the prescription / treatment plan and this could include all or some of the following; KCR to stretch and realign and straighten the body, foot mobilisation, foot orthotics, or small changes to your walking habits such as shorter step length, increased arm swing.
Our Gait Analysis includes a static stance assessment, non weight bearing assessment of how the small joints of the feet work, and the detailed gait analysis.
