Walking
Assessments
Optimize your gait, prevent injuries, and unlock the full benefits of walking.
Walking is one of the most accessible and beneficial exercises for both body and mind—but poor biomechanics can lead to pain, fatigue, and long-term joint stress. Our advanced walking assessment analyses your unique gait pattern to help you move efficiently and pain-free.
Why Assess Your Walking Mechanics?
- Repetitive Motion Matters: With every step, forces travel through your feet, knees, hips, and spine. Small imbalances add up over thousands of steps.
- Lower Impact ≠ Zero Risk: While gentler than running, walking still stresses joints if alignment is off (e.g., overpronation, uneven weight distribution).
- Posture = Performance: Proper technique boosts energy efficiency and reduces muscle strain.

Biomechanical Footscan Assesment
Discover how your feet move, load, and adapt during walking to prevent injuries and optimize performance.
We use a 1-metre high-resolution Forceplate to capture real-time data on your walking gait, revealing how your body distributes weight, pressure, and forces with every step. This cutting-edge analysis helps pinpoint imbalances, inefficiencies, and injury risks—before they become problems.
What We Measure:
- Static Weight Distribution – Balance between left/right feet while standing.
- Dynamic Pressure Mapping – Exact contact points (heel, midfoot, forefoot) and load distribution while walking.
- Impact & Toe-Off Speed – How quickly forces transition from foot strike to push-off.
- Transverse Load Patterns – Side-to-side pressure shifts that may indicate instability or misalignment.
Who Benefits?
- Walkers of all levels – Whether you’re a casual walking or mountain hiker.
- Injury-prone athletes – Detect imbalances linked to shin splints, plantar fasciitis, or knee/hip pain.
- Performance-focused walkers – Optimize efficiency and stride mechanics.
Key details
- IDEAL FOR: Walkers of all levels, njury-prone athletes and performance-focused walkers.
- PRICE: £49 (includes detailed report & recommendations).
- DURATION: 45 minutes.
Why book?
- Prevent injuries by correcting imbalances early.
- Choose better footwear with science-backed insight
- Improve walking economy with personalised feedback

Walking Gait Video Analysis
Powered by GAITON® Motion Capture Technology
Unlock the science of your stride with our 4-camera 3D gait analysis—the gold standard for detecting hidden inefficiencies in your walking pattern. Perfect for injury prevention, rehabilitation, or preparing for long-distance challenges.
Why Video Gait Analysis?
Walking seems simple, but tiny imbalances in posture, joint angles, or muscle activation can lead to:
- Knee/hip/back pain
- Premature fatigue
- Uneven wear on joints
Our GAITON® system tracks 20+ biomechanical markers to reveal what your naked eye can’t see.
Key Metrics We Analyze:
LOWER BODY
- Knee Engagement: Flexion/extension, abduction/adduction
- Pelvic Stability: Drop or tilt (common in hip weaknesses)
- Foot Mechanics: Overpronation, propulsion efficiency, inversion/eversion
UPPER BODY
- Trunk Sway: Excessive side-to-side movement
- Arm Swing: Asymmetries affecting balance
- Center of Motion (COM): Bounding or overstriding
Who Needs This?
- Everyday walkers with nagging joint pain
- Post-injury/rehab patients restoring natural movement
- Hikers & pilgrims prepping for long distances (Camino, etc.)
- Performance-focused walkers optimizing efficiency
What You Get:
- Multi-Angle Recording: 4 synchronized HD cameras (front/back/sides)
- Professional Report: Clear visuals of your gait deviations
- Actionable Plan: Custom exercises, footwear advice, or PT referrals.
Key details
- IDEAL FOR: Everyday walkers, post-injury/rehab patients, hikers & pilgrims and performance-focused walkers.
- PRICE: £99 (Includes full analysis walkthrough).
- DURATION: 60 minutes.
- WHAT YOU GET: Multi-angle recording, professional report and actionable plan.

Personalised Moulded Insoles for Walking Shoes
Personalised Moulded Insoles: Precision Support for Pain-Free Movement
Engineered to align, stabilize, and redistribute pressure—so you can move without limits.
Moulded insoles are more than just arch supports; they’re custom biomechanical tools designed to correct imbalances, relieve pain, and optimize how your body bears weight with every step. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or preventing one, insoles can be a game-changer for long-term mobility.
Our custom orthotics are heat moulded directly to your foots profile to provide precise contact with your feet. Our team of experts will guide you through the process of selecting the right orthotics for you based on your pain, activity, and footwear type.
These orthotics are prescribed based on a thorough examination taking into consideration factors such as your feet shape, gait & overall biomechanics.
We use orthotics made from premium materials through the Podiatech OPCT range, to make sure you walk away supported and in comfort.
Who Benefits?
- Walkers of all levels – Whether you’re a casual walking or mountain hiker.
- Injury-prone athletes – Detect imbalances linked to shin splints, plantar fasciitis, or knee/hip pain.
- Performance-focused walkers – Optimize efficiency and stride mechanics.
Key details
- IDEAL FOR: Any very active walker and any walker that are training for a big walking adventure or challenge.
- PRICE: £39 - £179
