By getting you on the treadmill we are able to observe your running gait at any speed, distance or inclination. This allows us to assess any minor or major variations in your individual biomechanics.

If injured we can apply this assessment and our own knowledge to understand where changes in your biomechanics can be made to improve symptoms and function.

A thorough lower limb biomechanical assessment is conducted at “The Runner’s Gait”. This includes assessing the hips, knees, ankles, feet and the quality of lower limb function. Measurable values are recorded to compare with current research , allowing us to assess functionality and efficiency of the lower limb.

The assessment may differ for those suffering with pain, with the appointment largely revolving around gaining an accurate diagnosis to ensure a tailored management plan.

Podiatrists have access to Ultrasound, Xray, MRI scanning referrals and will refer you as required.

As Podiatrists we are “masters of the Foot and Ankle”, so it’s only appropriate that we know the shoes that are right for you. We stay up to date with the latest models and apply our knowledge of foot biomechanics, anatomy and injuries to what is best.

Footwear can differ greatly based off design and function, this is particularly important for the injured runner. The heel drop (pitch), midsole material, heel counter, foam and upper are just a few things we take into consideration to advise you on the best shoe for you.

Here at “The Runner’s Gait” we focus on treatment and management of the lower limb, focusing on the foot and ankle. Lower limb pain and injuries are our specialty, so please consult us as soon as possible.

Our treatment and management options vary greatly from injury diagnosis, acute injury treatment, strengthening and rehabilitation all the way to footwear modification and orthotics. Ask one of our friendly Podiatrists to find out more!
