Biomechanics & Gait Analysis Worcester

At Worcester Podiatry, we offer specialised biomechanics and gait analysis services to diagnose and treat issues related to how you walk and move. Understanding the biomechanics of your feet and lower limbs is essential for identifying the root causes of pain or discomfort and preventing further injury.

Biomechanics refers to the study of movement and the forces exerted on your muscles and joints during activity. Our comprehensive gait analysis includes the use of advanced pressure plate technology, which provides a detailed map of how pressure is distributed across your feet as you walk. This cutting-edge tool allows us to accurately identify areas of excessive pressure, imbalance, or abnormal movement patterns that may be contributing to issues like heel pain, knee pain, hip pain, or lower back pain.

During the analysis, we observe your posture, foot structure, and alignment, and assess how your feet and legs function together. The pressure plate technology enhances this assessment by capturing dynamic data that reveals how your feet interact with the ground at each step. This detailed insight helps us detect problems such as overpronation, flat feet, or high arches.

Based on our findings, we may recommend custom orthotics, specific exercises, or footwear modifications to correct imbalances and improve your gait. These interventions can significantly enhance your mobility, reduce pain, and prevent future injuries.

If you’re experiencing persistent foot or leg pain, biomechanics and gait analysis at Worcester Podiatry, enhanced with pressure plate technology, can provide valuable insights and effective treatment solutions.
