Biomechanical Assessment in Port Macquarie
Understanding Your Movement Patterns
At Hastings Podiatry Centre in Port Macquarie, we offer biomechanical assessment services designed to provide a thorough analysis of how your feet and legs move. This specialised service is particularly valuable for individuals experiencing foot, ankle, or leg pain that affects mobility and daily activities. A biomechanical assessment evaluates the structure, alignment, and function of the lower limbs, identifying any weaknesses, imbalances, or misalignments that may contribute to your discomfort.
Our assessments are conducted using advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the root cause of your issues. Whether you’re dealing with heel pain, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, or shin splints, understanding the mechanics of your movement is the first step toward effective treatment. The insights gained during the assessment allow us to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs, focusing on improving posture, reducing pain, and enhancing mobility. To learn more or schedule a biomechanical assessment, call us today on 02 6583 2428. Let Hastings Podiatry Centre help you regain comfort and functionality with expert care designed to support your long-term foot health.

How Biomechanical Assessments Can Help
Biomechanical assessments are essential for understanding how forces act on the feet and legs during movement. These assessments involve a detailed examination of your lower limbs, focusing on their structure, alignment, and strength. By identifying areas of weakness, joint misalignment, or abnormal movement patterns, we can determine the underlying causes of pain or discomfort. Common issues such as heel pain, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon problems, and shin splints often stem from these biomechanical factors.
At Hastings Podiatry Centre, we also address more complex concerns like forefoot pain, knee pain, and leg length differences. Treatment options following a biomechanical assessment include orthotic therapy, prescribed exercise plans, joint mobilisation, and soft tissue therapy. These targeted solutions aim to relieve pain, improve movement, and reduce the risk of further injury. By focusing on the root cause of your discomfort, we help you achieve long-term relief and improved physical function.
