Musculoskeletal Assessment

Pain not going away?

A musculoskeletal/MSK (also referred to as biomechanics) examination is an in-depth assessment of your lower limb muscle action and joint position (musculoskeletal), limb alignment and movement (gait analysis). During this appointment we can identify various problems that can result in injuries, pain and disfunction in your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and back.

Your podiatrists will take a detailed medical and lifestyle history and then carry out a range of assessments on your feet and lower limbs both seated and standing. We look at how you walk and move by visual observation and by using our Footscan digital gait analysis pressure plate to produce a highly accurate and detailed assessment.

Your podiatrist will recommend a comprehensive treatment plan and make recommendations for on-going support. We may recommend orthotics (insoles) to support your feet and lower limbs. If needed, we can design a rehabilitation exercise plan for you using Physitrack software. If appropriate we may recommend other specialist therapies such as MLS Laser or Shockwave.

If you have pain and/or injury, then book a Biomechanics Assessment with one of our podiatrists and let us help you get back to doing what you love.

Patient reviews:

"I cannot recommend Natalie from Feet & Motion highly enough. She sorted out my aching hips/foot problems and I certainly have a skip in my step now. Great value too." – Sarah. 

"I had been suffering with foot pain for months, hoping it would go away. Natalie, quickly diagnosed the problem which had put my normal gait out of balance, causing inflammation in my foot. After a couple of appointments, a program of exercise, and other recommendations, I am now 'pain free' and I can now resume my exercise and running. Thank you so much. I have my life back." – Cricket

"Incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate throughout my visit. She took the time to thoroughly examine, explain the cause of the pain, and outline a clear treatment plan. Her expertise and attention to detail were evident, and she patiently answered all my questions, ensuring I understood every aspect of my condition and the recommended treatment. Within a short period, I noticed significant improvement, and my pain has now completely resolved. Thank you, Natalie, for your outstanding care and for getting me back on my feet pain-free!" - Brennan
