Biomechanical Podiatry

Biomechanical Podiatry

At Your FootDr, we assess how your feet, ankles, knees, hips and lower back work together during standing, walking and movement. Poor foot posture, altered gait, muscle imbalance, joint restriction or leg length differences can place extra stress on the lower limbs and contribute to pain or injury.

Our biomechanical podiatry service focuses on identifying the underlying cause of your symptoms, not just treating the painful area. Through gait assessment, lower-limb assessment and personalised treatment, we aim to improve comfort, mobility and long-term function.

Common Causes of Lower Limb Biomechanical Pain

Biomechanical pain can develop when the body is not moving, loading or absorbing pressure efficiently. These issues may build up over time and contribute to pain in the feet, ankles, shins, knees, hips or lower back.

Our Assessment Process

How Your Biomechanical Assessment Works

Our approach focuses on identifying movement and alignment issues to improve function and reduce strain. Each step is designed to ensure accurate assessment, targeted correction, and long-term biomechanical balance.

 

01

Biomechanical Assessment

We assess your posture, gait, foot mechanics, lower-limb alignment, joint movement and pressure points to understand how your body is loading during movement.

02

Cause Identification

We identify contributing factors such as poor gait patterns, muscle imbalance, joint restriction, leg length differences, foot posture issues or overload.

03

Personalised Treatment Plan

We provide a tailored treatment plan, which may include footwear advice, orthotic therapy, strengthening exercises, mobility work, load management or referral where needed.

04

Ongoing Support & Prevention

We provide follow-up care to monitor progress, adjust treatment where needed and help reduce the risk of recurring pain or injury.
