This is the assessment of any biomechanical dysfunction, which can affect the foot and the lower limb or spinal kinetic chain, influencing movements and function when walking or running. Treatment by foot orthotics can correct the alignment of the lower part of the body to improve performance and endurance during simple daily activity or intensive exercise.
Each clinic has dedicated ‘gait assessment’ facilities, which includes the RS Footscan force analysis system and high speed video equipment to record all aspects of walking and running enabling the clinician to determine the biomechanical dysfunction and the orthotic solution that each patient needs.
The clinics are staffed by fully qualified Orthotists and Physiotherapists who are registered by the UK HPC (Health Professions Council). As part of their registration, each clinician undertakes continuous training and education to ensure that all treatments offered are the best available. Our clinicians also regularly give training and education to others as part of their daily work and are recognised as leaders in their field.
