Gaitscan customised orthotics

What is GaitScan?

The GaitScan^TM assessment system helps our team to analyse your foot mechanics by accurately measuring foot timing and mapping foot pressure.

What are some symptoms of poor foot mechanics?

• Localised foot pain
• Bunions
• Arch or heel pain e.g. Plantar Fasciitis
• Achilles pain
• Knee pain including patello-femoral syndrome
• Hip or back pain

What is GaitScan for?

Foot type and function has a direct effect on joint alignment of the ankles, knees, hips, and spine. Abnormal function will impact on walking mechanics and can cause a chain reaction resulting in injury or pain. How does GaitScan work? Through the Gaitscan^TM assessment we are able to determine whether abnormal foot function is a contributing cause of your lower limb concern and whether customised orthotics will benefit you.

What are customised orthotics?

The information from the GaitScan^TM assessment can be analysed to mould and manufacture customised orthotics specific to your feet. There are a variety of customised orthotics available to suit your shoe type including orthotics for work shoes, running, golf, and ski boots.

Is a referral required?

A referral is not required for a GaitScan^TM consultation.
