Biomechanical Assessment.
A biomechanical examination is a comprehensive assessment of the joints, bones, muscles and ligaments of the feet, legs and pelvis, relating to your issue or injury.
We analyse the way your body functions together to get you moving and feeling steady on your feet. By assessing what is and isn’t working effectively, we are able to identify potential causes of injuries as well as how to optimise lower limb function so you can move effectively and for longer, without tiring or pain.
This Podiatry Assessment Includes:
- Range of motion through the joints
- Proprioception (balance)
- Muscle strength testing
- Postural assessment
- Foot Posture Index
- Palpation of affected structures
- Comprehensive video gait analysis
- Force and pressure testing
- Footwear check
Additional Assessment Components:
Flexibility Testing
We assess muscle elasticity and tissue mobility throughout your lower limbs to identify areas of tightness or restriction that may be contributing to your symptoms. This helps us understand how muscle flexibility impacts your movement patterns and overall function.
Functional Movement Testing
We evaluate your body’s ability to perform specific movements and tasks relevant to your daily activities or sports. This assessment helps us identify movement compensations and functional limitations that standard static tests may not reveal.
Comprehensive Footwear Assessment
A detailed evaluation of your current footwear to determine if it’s supporting or hindering your foot function. We examine wear patterns, structural integrity, and appropriateness for your foot type and activities.
This exam helps us make an accurate diagnosis of your complaint and prescribe the appropriate treatment and management plan. At Optimise Health, we pride ourselves on our thorough podiatry assessments and exams and routinely perform this exam as part of our commitment to clinical excellence and providing you with the best outcomes.
It’s very important for us to not only address your current symptoms but identify the cause of the pain so that it doesn’t happen again. You can watch more about why this is so important.


What to Expect from Your Assessment?
Your biomechanical examination typically takes up to 60 minutes, allowing us sufficient time to conduct a thorough evaluation, discuss our findings, and answer any questions you may have.
During your assessment, we may integrate treatment techniques to understand better the nature of any limitations we identify. Many movement restrictions respond well to hands-on therapies, which we can apply during the examination to test our clinical reasoning. This approach allows us to:
- Assess your current function
- Apply targeted interventions where appropriate
- Re-assess to measure immediate improvements
This integrated approach provides valuable diagnostic information while potentially offering you some immediate relief.
