Services - Podiatry
At Lisburn Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic, we work very closely with a team of Podiatrists. Many of our lower limb sports injuries can be attributed to poor foot biomechanics. As part of our complete package, we can offer you a full biomechanical assessment with one of our clinical podiatrists.
This involves a gait and video analysis and, if necessary, the fitting of custom made orthotics. They work in a similar way to braces in your teeth, by gently bearing pressure on your feet to bring them back into proper alignment. They simply slip into your shoes and are made of a flexible moulded plastic. Once your feet are working in the way they were designed to, there will be a reduced muscle strain as the body does not have to try to control the poor mechanics and shock absorbing will be improved.
