BIOMECHANICAL ASSESSMENT
In-depth clinical assessment of posture, alignment and movement mechanics
A biomechanical assessment examines how your bones, joints, muscles and tendons align and move together, identifying the underlying mechanical drivers behind foot and lower-limb pain
ABOUT THE SERVICE
What is a biomechanical assessment?
Biomechanics is the study of force and motion in the human body. When joint alignment or muscle flexibility is off-balance, extra stress is placed on connective tissues.
This comprehensive assessment looks at your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back while standing, resting, and moving.
Understanding your personal mechanical profile allows us to address the root cause of recurring pain rather than just treating symptoms.

WHEN IT MAY HELP
When might a biomechanical check be helpful?
A biomechanical assessment is valuable for:
- Persistent heel or plantar fascia pain
- Collapsed or flat feet causing strain
- Bunion pain or forefoot joint stiffness
- Unexplained knee, shin, or hip discomfort when walking
- Uneven or rapid shoe wear patterns
Identifies structural imbalances early.
Forms the precise clinical foundation for custom orthotics.
YOUR APPOINTMENT
What happens during the evaluation?
We evaluate structural alignment both statically and dynamically
Non-weight-bearing joint examination
We measure range of motion in the ankles, subtalar, and big-toe joints.
Weight-bearing posture check
We assess leg-length symmetry, pelvic position, and arch profile.
Functional walking analysis
We observe stride mechanics and foot strike characteristics.
Diagnostic summary & plan
We explain how your joint mechanics relate to your symptoms.
WHAT TO EXPECT
How should you prepare?
Wear shorts or loose trousers that roll above the knees so leg alignment is visible.
The evaluation is non-invasive and carried out in our spacious clinic.
