Biomechanical & Gait Assessments
Supporting Healthy Movement Across the Northern Beaches
Do you suffer from foot, ankle, knee, or lower back pain? The cause may lie in the way your body moves. At Frenchs Forest Podiatry, we offer comprehensive biomechanical and gait assessments to identify movement imbalances, diagnose underlying conditions, and create tailored treatment plans to get you moving pain-free.
With over 25 years serving the Frenchs Forest community, we combine clinical expertise with advanced diagnostic technology, including video gait analysis, to uncover the root cause of your pain—not just treat the symptoms.
What Is a Biomechanical Assessment?
A biomechanical assessment is a detailed evaluation of your lower limb alignment, posture, and movement.
Our podiatrist will assess how your feet function during standing, walking, and other movement tasks to identify any mechanical dysfunction.
The assessment helps detect patterns or muscle imbalances that contribute to common problems such as:
- Heel pain (Plantar Fasciitis)
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Flat feet or overpronation
- Knee pain or instability
- Hip or lower back discomfort
- Recurrent sports injuries
What’s Included in a Gait Analysis?
We use video gait analysis to assess how your body moves in real-time. This helps us observe:
- Foot placement and pressure
- Hip and pelvic control
- Ankle stability
- Leg alignment
Combining clinical testing with slow-motion video, we can precisely diagnose the movement issues affecting your comfort and performance.
Treatment Plans
Following your assessment, we’ll explain the findings and recommend the most effective treatment, which may include:
- Custom or semi-custom foot orthotics
- Targeted exercise and stretching programs
- Footwear recommendations
- Referral for further medical imaging if required
We believe in clear, evidence-based care. Our goal is to help you move with confidence and reduce your risk of future injury.
