Biomechanical Assessment

The body is designed to work within certain parameters to keep it moving efficiently and comfortably. During the biomechancial assessment we take specific measurements around the hips, knees, ankles and feet to ascertain whether your body is working within these limits.

Muscles are also assessed to make sure that they are in balance and the correct length. If any structures are unbalanced or of an incorrect length we can provide exercises and muscle strengthening regimes. If the problem is more severe we may use orthotics to control and correct.
