Gait Analysis
Whether you are a runner, an athlete, or simply someone struggling with recurring lower limb pain, our detailed gait assessments are designed to help you move more efficiently, perform better, and prevent future injuries.
What Is Gait Analysis?
Gait Analysis is a detailed evaluation of how your body moves while walking or running. It looks at the complex interactions between your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine, helping to identify abnormal movement patterns or imbalances that may lead to discomfort, pain, or poor performance.
Using precise observation and assessment techniques, Kieron analyses your movement to detect subtle biomechanical issues that could be affecting your posture, efficiency, or stability. The goal is to understand why your body moves the way it does and correct faulty mechanics, reduce pain, and improve long-term function and comfort.
What Gait Analysis Can Help With
Gait Analysis can be beneficial for a wide range of musculoskeletal issues and performance concerns, including:
- Foot, ankle, knee, or hip pain
- Repetitive strain or overuse injuries
- Lower back discomfort linked to poor alignment
- Postural imbalances and instability
- Running-related injuries such as shin splints, plantar fasciitis, or IT band syndrome
- Recovery support following surgery or injury
- Identifying footwear or orthotic needs
- Enhancing sports performance and efficiency
What to Expect During Your Gait Analysis Appointment?
Your first session begins with a comprehensive consultation. Kieron will discuss your medical history, activity levels, current symptoms, and any goals you wish to achieve. A detailed physical examination follows, focusing on your posture, joint alignment, flexibility, and muscle balance.
You’ll then undergo a dynamic assessment, where Kieron observes your walking and running patterns to identify key movement inefficiencies. Based on the findings, he will explain the results clearly and develop a personalised treatment or rehabilitation plan, which may include:
- Targeted mobility and strength exercises
- Movement retraining and posture correction
- Footwear and orthotic recommendations
- Soft tissue therapy or manual treatment
- Home exercise guidance to maintain progress
Every session is designed to provide you with clear insights into your movement and practical steps to enhance your everyday comfort and performance.
