Understand how you move, identify what’s causing pain, and build a plan to move better long term.
A gait and biomechanics assessment looks at how your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and posture work together during movement. Even subtle changes in the way you walk or run can place extra strain on joints and soft tissue, leading to pain, fatigue, or recurring injury.
At Norwest Podiatry Clinic, we assess movement patterns from the ground up. By understanding how your feet load and move, we can identify the underlying causes of pain, not just treat the symptoms.
This type of assessment is helpful whether you’re:
No. Gait assessments are helpful for anyone experiencing pain or fatigue with walking, standing, or everyday movement.
Most assessments take 30–40 minutes, allowing time for movement analysis and explanation.
Not always. Orthotics are recommended only if they will genuinely help improve your movement or reduce pain.
Yes. The way your feet move can influence alignment and load throughout the entire lower limb.
Bring shoes you regularly wear. Comfortable clothing that allows movement is helpful.
If the assessment relates to an ACC-covered injury, some components may be funded. We’ll advise you during your visit.
No referral is required, you can book directly.
