What is a Biomechanical assessment?
The purpose of a
biomechanical assessment is used to determine how the
functional movement and alignment of the body
may cause pain or discomfort in certain
areas. People may have knee pain, hip pain or back pain which may
in fact be related to a mechanical or biomechancal problem not
necessarily in the area where the pain presents. instead, the
mechanics of body movement (or biomechanics to give the proper
term) lead to issues of over use or stress in these parts of the
body.
A biomechanical assessment is required to examine the muscles,
joints and movement of the body to systematically establish
why activity or movement may bring on symptoms. From this a
treatment plan can then be prescribed which may include
stretches, strengthening work or even orthotics (or insoles) to
help facilitate more normal biomechanical movements to prevent
the secondary symptoms which result from any biomechanical
deficit.
Our award winning podiatry, orthotics and biomechanics clinicians in both our Hamilton and Glasgow biomechanics clinics are experts in biomechanics, musculoskeletal assessment, video gait analysis and orthotic prescription and design.
Our team are nationally recognised MSK and specialist biomechanics Orthotists and Podiatrists who train and educate fellow clinicians across the UK on biomechanics and clinical MSK assessment. Our Orthotists & podiatrists also include clinical practice educators and lecturers on the undergraduate programme at the National Centre for Prosthetics and Orthotics at Strathclyde University in Glasgow and also Glasgow Caledonian University podiatry degree programme.
We don't just have the gadgets we have the knowledge to use them!
What happens as part of your free Biomechanical assessment?
The purpose of the biomechanical assessment is to examine your own body alignment, movement (or mechanics) and the reason for your current symptoms.
To do this we undertake:
From the process described above we can then understand why the symptoms, pain or discomfort may be caused and how we may help treat these. This can include stretching and strengthening exercises, orthotics and insoles, Chiropody treatments, Sports massage or physiotherapy. Due to the unique approach taken by The Treatment Hub team in Hamilton and Glasgow you can access many of these services and professionals at the same time.
