Biomechanical Assessment

Podiatrists such as Foot Steps can assess the biomechanics of the feet and lower limbs so they can provide an anatomical assessment of patients to detect abnormalities such as flat feet, high or fallen arches, in-toeing, and ankle, knee and hip abnormalities.

Abnormalities can be corrected through prescription foot orthoses (shoe inserts) or specific exercises to strengthen & stretch certain muscles or groups of muscles. Orthoses should be custom-made and fitted for patients with serious abnormalities.  It is important that podiatric assessment is made early to prevent further pain from arising.

Our team at Foot Steps all have the knowledge of biomechanics & knows every person is different & our orthoses are made for optimal comfort.  We aim to improve posture, pressure distribution & biomechanical function of your feet by altering the position of the joints & this enhances the placement of the lower limbs & muscles.  This in turn decreases stresses on the foot & lower limb.

If you would like your feet assessed or believe you would benefit from orthotics, call us today for an appointment to put your best foot forward on 69621388.
