An initial consultation begins with a full history taking of your presenting issue, followed by an assessment of the mechanical behaviour of your feet to understand how they interact with the environment and if movement patterns may be influencing pain or injury. This often involves a Gait Analysis, which looks at your running / walking mechanics and technique, on a treadmill with video playback to show you any imbalances or weaknesses.
Podiatrists can also appraise your current footwear and shoe inserts, create bespoke orthoses on site where needed, and offer advice on what kind of footwear to choose for your chosen activities or sports.
