Footscan Gait & Movement Analysis
‘Move Better. Understand Why’
If you're looking for gait analysis, our Footscan gait and movement assessment can provide valuable insight into how your feet and lower limbs function during movement.
​
Whether you're experiencing pain, recovering from injury, returning to sport or simply want to understand how you move, we'll help you make sense of the information.​
Advanced Footscan gait analysis to assess how you walk, run, balance and move
​
Using high-precision pressure mapping and advanced movement analysis, we assess how your feet, ankles and lower limbs function during movement.
​
By combining Footscan technology with clinical assessment, we can help you understand your individual movement patterns and how they may relate to pain, injury, recurring problems or sporting performance.

​
See How You Move
​
Your feet are the foundation of movement. The way they load and move can influence how forces are transferred through your ankles, knees, hips and lower limbs.
​
Footscan gives us detailed information about how pressure moves through your feet as you walk and run, providing another layer of information alongside our clinical assessment.
​
We can assess:
​
-
Walking and running
-
Foot pressure and loading
-
Balance
-
Squatting and lunging
-
Functional movement
-
Left and right foot differences
-
Lower-limb movement patterns
​​​
​Footscan may be particularly useful if you:
​
Have pain
-
Foot, ankle, knee or lower-limb problems
Have a recurring injury
-
Want to understand your movement patterns and loading
Are returning to sport
-
Assess movement as you return to running or activity
Want to understand your movement
-
Want to understand how your feet respond when you walk, run and move
Want objective information
-
Want to combine pressure-mapping data with a clinical assessment
​The aim isn't to find a "perfect" way to move. It's to understand your movement and whether particular findings may be relevant to you.
​​
​​​

Your assessment starts with understanding you — your symptoms, activity, goals and what you want to achieve.

Frequently Asked Questions
​
​​​Can Footscan find the cause of my pain?
​​Footscan doesn't diagnose the cause of pain on its own. We interpret the results alongside your symptoms and clinical assessment to understand whether the findings may be relevant to your problem
​
Do I need to be a runner?
​No. Footscan can be useful for people who walk, run, exercise or play sport. Your assessment is tailored to your individual needs
Can Footscan help with injury rehabilitation?
​It can provide useful information about foot loading and movement and may form part of a wider assessment and rehabilitation plan when managing an injury or returning to activity

New runner's heel inflammation
A really informative and most importantly, helpful visit to tidy up my feet and to deal with a new runner's heel inflammation. Very thorough and professional, pain much eased, and I learnt a lot about not just the way I should run to be kinder to my feet, but also how I could walk better too. Highly recommended.
