Biomechanical Assessment
What is a Biomechanical Assessment?
A biomechanical assessment examines how your feet, legs, and body work together during movement. We assess:
- Your symptoms, lifestyle, and activity levels
- Static and dynamic posture
- Joint alignment and range of motion
- Muscle strength and flexibility
- Gait (walking or running patterns)
We use Footscan® pressure plate technology, 3D wearable sensors (Baiobit), and muscle/joint testing tools (EasyForce & EasyAngle) to accurately assess how your body moves and where issues arise.
Who Should Have a Biomechanical Assessment?
You may benefit from an assessment if you experience:
- Heel pain (e.g. plantar fasciitis)
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Shin splints
- Knee, hip, or lower back pain
- Flat feet or high arches
- Bunions or ball-of-foot pain (metatarsalgia)
- Sports injuries and overuse conditions
- Diabetic foot concerns
- Post-surgery rehab needs
- Unexplained discomfort when walking, running, or standing
Our Advanced Diagnostic Tools

Digitally measures joint flexibility and movement range—ideal for detecting stiffness and monitoring rehabilitation.
