Professional podiatry assessment for pain linked to walking patterns, foot mechanics, and lower limb alignment.
Gait-linked pain refers to discomfort that develops in the knees, hips, or lower back due to the way the feet and legs move during walking or running. Even small changes in foot posture, stride, or load distribution can travel upward through the body, placing extra stress on joints and muscles higher up the chain.
Many people seek help for knee or hip pain without realising the root cause may start at the feet. If gait-related issues are not addressed, pain can persist or shift between joints.
At Norwest Podiatry, we assess how your feet, ankles, and legs work together during movement and create a plan to improve alignment and reduce pain throughout the lower limb.
