BIOMECHANICS ASSESSMENT

What Is a Biomechanics Assessment?

A biomechanics assessment is a detailed evaluation of how your feet, joints, muscles, and body move during standing, walking, and running. It helps identify any abnormalities in movement that may be causing pain, discomfort, or recurring injuries.


The assessment focuses on understanding how your foot structure, posture, and gait (walking pattern) affect the way your body functions.


By identifying these issues, a practitioner can recommend the most effective treatment to improve movement, reduce pain, and prevent further i

Who Can Benefit From a Biomechanics Assessment?

A biomechanics assessment may be recommended if you experience:


  • Foot or heel pain
  • Plantar fasciitis 
  • Knee pain 
  • Hip or lower back pain 
  • Flat feet or high arches
  • Recurring sports injuries
  • Pain when walking or running
  • Poor posture or imbalance
     

Athletes and active individuals also benefit from biomechanics assessments to improve performance and prevent injuries.

What Happens During the Assessment?

A biomechanics assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that may include several tests and observations.


  • Medical and Activity History

Your practitioner will discuss your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and activity levels to better understand your condition.


  • Foot and Posture Examination

Your foot structure, arch type, and alignment will be examined while standing.


  • Gait Analysis

Your practitioner will observe how you walk or run, identifying any abnormal movement patterns or pressure points.


  • Joint and Muscle Testing

Range of motion, muscle strength, and flexibility may be assessed to determine how your joints and muscles function together.
