Gait Analysis
Are you living with constant foot or leg pain and struggling to find the cause? The way our feet hit the ground when we walk has the ability to impact the rest of our body. Flat feet and other foot problems may be identified by a gait analysis.
At Talaria Podiatrist, we offer personal gait assessments in Thornbury so that you may be able to find the cause of your foot problems.




What is a Gait Analysis?
A gait analysis is a biomechanical assessment designed to determine your specific foot mechanics. A podiatrist analyses how your feet naturally impact the ground. Through this, an experienced podiatrist can determine if you need specific treatments. These assessments are integral to understanding your feet. They aim to determine if you need interventions such as orthotics or other therapies.
Flat feet or a heavy foot strike may put additional pressure on our lower limbs, causing pain or increasing our risk of injury.
Aiming For Optimal Health?
Our team of experienced podiatrists aims to address lower limb pain with a thorough gait analysis. The way you walk may impact the development of painful conditions. These include conditions such as plantar fasciitis, muscle injuries, and even ingrown toenails.
During an initial assessment, our team will observe you as you walk and run in place to assess the placement of your feet. Through this, we aim to advise the most appropriate treatments that may improve your walk and help your body achieve optimal health.
