BioMechanical Assessment
At Infinite Podiatry, we believe that strong foundations start from the ground up. A biomechanical assessment allows us to understand how your feet, ankles, knees, hips and spine work together—and to identify any imbalances that may cause pain, fatigue or injury.
What is a biomechanical assessment?
A biomechanical assessment is a detailed evaluation of the way your body moves. Using visual examination, gait analysis, and advanced technology, our podiatrists assess your foot posture, joint motion, muscle strength and walking or running patterns. This helps us diagnose underlying issues and create a tailored treatment plan.
Who should consider one?
You may benefit from a biomechanical assessment if you experience:
Foot, ankle, knee or hip pain
Heel pain or plantar fasciitis
Shin splints or Achilles issues
Recurrent sporting injuries
Poor balance or posture problems
Tired or aching legs after activity

We will:
- Take a thorough history of your symptoms and activity levels.
- Assess joint range of motion, muscle strength and limb alignment.
