Biomechanical Assessment in Brighouse
– Understand the Cause of Your Pain
At Sandy & Bielby, we know that persistent foot, ankle, or lower back pain can affect every part of your daily life. Our expert Biomechanical Assessment in Brighouse is designed to get to the root of these issues—helping you move more comfortably and confidently.
Why Do You Need a Biomechanical Assessment?
Modern life means walking on hard, flat surfaces for much of the day – something our feet weren’t naturally designed to do. Over time, this can lead to changes in posture, movement, and alignment, often resulting in long-term wear and tear on the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and back. Many common conditions stem from biomechanical dysfunction – structural imbalances or abnormal walking patterns (gait) that can lead to pain, instability, and reduced mobility.What to Expect from Your Assessment
Our comprehensive biomechanical assessment includes:
- Hands-on assessment of the foot, ankle, knees, hips and back are carried out to check the range and direction of joint motion, and the strength of muscles and the stability of ligaments.
- Visual gait analysis to observe how you walk and detect any functional gait abnormality.
- Personalised treatment planning based on your assessment results. This may include stretching and strengthening exercises, orthotics and if necessary referral to a physiotherapist, Osteopath and or Podiatric surgeon for further management.
- Targeted stretching and strengthening exercises
- Custom orthotics or insoles
- Referrals to physiotherapists, osteopaths, or podiatric surgeons if needed for further care
