Allowing you to train and exercise without pain and injury
Biomechanical Assessment
A Biomechanical Assessment is an investigation into the structure and function of your feet and lower limb with the purpose of identifying abnormalities, dysfunction and compensations in your musculoskeletal system. The underlying cause of common injuries such as foot pain, knee pain and back pain can often be attributed to inefficient or faulty foot mechanics.
