Performance Podiatry - Biomechanical Assessment

A good boimechanical assessment is essential in evaluating musculo-skeletal asymmetry and dyfunction.  Performance Podiatry carry out an evaluation of muscle length and joint range of movement combined with pressure plate analysis.  Posture is examined and the influence of foot type and posture on the general postural presentation is analysed.

Structural problems in the feet can alter the walking pattern and cause pain throughout the body.  When one part of the body is out of alignment, none of the other parts can work optimally, so symptoms may present some distance from the dysfunction.

Treatment for biomechanical dysfunction may include soft tissue mobilasation, remedial exercise and orthotic therapy.
