Biomechanical Examinations

The foot is a complex structure made up of many bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Biomechanics looks at the structure and function of the foot and how it affects the rest of the body e.g. back, hips and knees. It aims to achieve the motion and positions of the foot which will give optimum function and stabilization, both in the feet and the entire skeletal complex.

This approach enables symptoms such as corns, callouses, fatigue and strain to be alleviated by treating the underlying cause, which is normally done by the provision of orthotics.
