Advanced Biomechanics Assessment at Cheshire Podiatry
At Cheshire Podiatry, we provide advanced biomechanics assessments and gait analysis for both children and adults.
By assessing the way your feet and lower limbs function, we can help identify the cause of foot, heel, ankle, knee and lower limb pain. We use Footscan gait analysis technology to assess pressure distribution and movement patterns in more detail, helping us provide a more accurate and personalised assessment.
Our biomechanics service is suitable for everyday foot pain, posture-related problems, and also for runners, active patients and sports people looking to improve performance, reduce strain and prevent injury.
Where appropriate, we can also assess suitability for PHITS 3D-printed orthotics, designed using advanced Footscan technology.
To make booking easier, we offer two separate biomechanics appointments:
Children's Biomechanics Assessment: Up to 16 years old @£75
Our Children’s Biomechanics Appointment includes a detailed assessment of foot posture, lower limb alignment, and walking pattern.
This appointment is suitable for children and young people who may be experiencing discomfort, unusual walking patterns, or symptoms linked to the way their feet and legs are functioning during everyday activity, exercise, or sport.
This appointment may be suitable if your child has:
- Flat feet
- In-toeing or out-toeing
- Toe walking
- Heel pain
- Knee pain
- Foot pain during sport
- Frequent trips or falls
- Concerns about posture or walking pattern
- Lower limb discomfort linked to activity or exercise
During the appointment, we assess how your child’s feet and lower limbs are functioning and look at whether this may be contributing to pain, discomfort, or movement concerns.
Following the assessment, we will explain our findings clearly and discuss the most appropriate next steps. This may include advice on footwear, exercises, activity modification, or further podiatry treatment where needed.
Our aim is to provide parents with clear, honest, and practical advice, so you feel informed about your child’s foot health and the options available.
When might a child benefit from a biomechanics assessment?
A children’s biomechanics assessment may be helpful if your child:
- Complains of foot, heel, or leg pain
- Walks differently from other children
- Seems to trip or fall more often than expected
- Has flat feet or unusual foot posture
- Experiences pain during sport or activity
- Has concerns with walking pattern, balance, or coordination
A professional assessment can help identify whether there are any biomechanical factors affecting comfort, walking, or activity levels.
What happens after the assessment?
After assessing your child’s foot posture, lower limb alignment, and walking pattern, we will talk you through the findings in a clear and straightforward way.
Where appropriate, we may recommend:
- Footwear advice
- Simple exercises
- Activity advice
- Ongoing podiatry care
- Further review if needed
Any advice given will be based on your child’s individual presentation and symptoms.

- Heel pain or plantar fasciitis
- Arch pain
- Achilles pain
- Ankle pain
- Shin pain or shin splints
- Knee pain
- Forefoot pain
- Foot pain when walking or running
- Flat feet or overpronation
- Pain linked to poor foot function
- Recurrent sports injuries
This appointment is ideal for patients who need a thorough biomechanics assessment and treatment advice, but do not require advanced digital gait analysis.
Book online today to arrange your appointment.
Adult Biomechanics & PHITS Gait Analysis Age 17+ | £95
Our Adult Biomechanics & PHITS Gait Analysis Appointment includes everything covered in the standard biomechanics assessment, together with advanced digital gait analysis using the PHITS system.
The PHITS system provides a more detailed analysis of gait, pressure distribution, movement patterns, and foot function, helping us build a clearer picture of how your feet are working during walking and activity.
This appointment is particularly helpful for adults with more complex symptoms, recurring pain, sports-related injuries, or those who may require orthotic assessment or custom 3D printed orthotics.
This appointment may be suitable if you have:
- Persistent or more complex foot pain
- Heel pain or plantar fasciitis
- Arch pain
- Achilles pain
- Ankle pain
- Shin pain or shin splints
- Knee pain
- Forefoot pain
- Pain when walking, running, or exercising
- Recurrent sports injuries
- Flat feet or overpronation
- Concerns about the way you walk or move
- A need for orthotic assessment
- A need for more detailed gait and pressure analysis
By using PHITS gait analysis, we can assess movement in greater detail and determine whether custom 3D printed orthotics may be appropriate as part of your treatment plan.
