When it comes to persistent foot, ankle, or even knee and lower back pain, the problem might not be where you're feeling it — but how you're moving. At Foot Corner, we specialise in understanding the mechanics of your body, starting from the ground up. That’s where a biomechanical examination comes in.

What Is a Biomechanical Examination?

A biomechanical examination is a detailed assessment of how your body moves, particularly the lower limbs. It looks closely at the structure, alignment, and motion of your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back to detect abnormalities or imbalances that may contribute to pain or injury.

As podiatrists, we assess both static posture (how you stand) and dynamic motion (how you walk or run). This can include:

• Gait analysis (observation of your walking or running pattern)

• Joint range of motion testing

• Muscle strength and flexibility assessments

• Foot posture and arch evaluation

• Weight distribution analysis

Why Might You Need a Biomechanical Examination?

If you're dealing with any of the following issues, a biomechanical exam could be key to unlocking the cause:

• Heel or arch pain (like plantar fasciitis)

• Achilles tendonitis

• Shin splints or knee pain

• Flat feet or high arches

• Hip, lower back, or leg pain

• Recurrent injuries during sport or daily activity

• Poor posture or gait abnormalities

• Custom orthotics assessment

In many cases, pain in the feet, knees, or hips is linked to how your feet strike the ground and how your body compensates. These small imbalances add up over time, especially if you’re active, on your feet all day, or have a history of injury.

What Happens After the Examination?

Following the biomechanical assessment, we’ll explain our findings clearly and recommend a personalised treatment plan. This could include:

• Custom orthotics to support and correct foot function

• Exercise therapy to strengthen weak muscles and improve flexibility

• Footwear advice tailored to your unique needs

• Activity modifications or rehabilitation programmes

Our goal is always to treat the root cause — not just the symptoms.
