Biomechanics Assessment & Gait Analysis for Foot, Knee & Lower Limb Pain

Helping You Understand The Root Cause Of Pain, Injury & Movement Problems

Understanding Why You're In Pain Is Often The First Step Towards Recovery

At Callen Olive, we believe successful treatment starts with understanding why a problem has developed in the first place.

A Biomechanics Assessment is one of the most valuable diagnostic tools we use. Rather than simply focusing on where the pain is, we investigate how your body moves, how forces travel through your feet and lower limbs, and whether underlying movement patterns may be contributing to your symptoms.

Many foot, ankle, knee, hip and lower back conditions are not isolated problems. They are often the result of abnormal loading, poor movement patterns, compensation, instability or weakness that has developed over time.

Without understanding the underlying cause, treatment often becomes focused on managing symptoms rather than addressing why the problem developed in the first place.

Our Biomechanics Assessment provides the foundation for accurate diagnosis, effective treatment planning and long-term rehabilitation.

You're Not Alone

Many people live with pain for months or even years without understanding why it keeps returning.

Some repeatedly treat the symptoms. Others stop exercising, avoid long walks or become frustrated that previous treatments have not provided lasting relief.

Over time, ongoing pain can affect:

• Walking comfort

• Exercise and sport

• Work and daily activities

• Sleep and energy levels

• Confidence in movement

• Overall wellbeing and quality of life

At Callen Olive, we understand how frustrating it can be when you do not know why your pain keeps coming back.

Our goal is to help you understand what is happening and create a plan that helps you move with comfort, confidence and ease.

Your Feet Are The Foundation Of Movement

Every step you take influences the position and movement of your ankles, knees, hips, pelvis and spine. When movement becomes inefficient, the body often compensates, increasing strain on muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints.

Over time this may contribute to:

• Foot pain

• Heel pain

• Achilles pain

• Recurrent ankle sprains

• Shin splints

• Knee pain

• Hip pain

• Lower back pain

• Fatigue

• Reduced mobility

• Poor sporting performance

• Increased injury risk

Our role is to identify these contributing factors and understand how they may be affecting your daily life, health and performance.

What Difference Can A Biomechanics Assessment Make?

Understanding how your body moves can often be the first step towards meaningful recovery.

Our goal is to help you:

• Reduce pain

• Improve mobility

• Move more comfortably

• Return to exercise and sport

• Improve confidence in movement

• Reduce injury risk

• Support long-term rehabilitation

• Understand why your symptoms developed in the first place

For many people, simply having clarity and understanding can be incredibly reassuring.

Who Can Benefit From A Biomechanics Assessment?

A Biomechanics Assessment may be beneficial if you experience:

• Foot pain

• Heel pain

• Achilles pain

• Shin splints

• Knee pain

• Hip pain

• Lower back pain

• Recurrent ankle sprains

• Sports injuries

• Running injuries

• Flat feet

• Hypermobility

• Recurring injuries

• Reduced mobility

• Pain that keeps returning despite treatment

It is also valuable for active individuals and athletes wanting to better understand how their body functions during walking, running and sport.

What Happens During The Assessment?

Your appointment includes a comprehensive evaluation of how your feet and lower limbs function.

Clinical Assessment

Discussion of your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, activities and treatment goals.

Foot & Lower Limb Assessment

Assessment of foot posture, joint movement, muscle strength, flexibility and lower limb alignment.

Walking & Gait Analysis

Observation of how your body moves during standing and walking.

Functional Assessment

Assessment of balance, stability and movement patterns.

Treatment Planning

Development of a personalised treatment and rehabilitation plan based on your findings.

The Foundation Of Your Treatment Plan

The findings from your Biomechanics Assessment help guide every stage of your care.

By understanding how your body moves, we can create a personalised treatment plan designed to:

• Reduce pain

• Improve mobility

• Enhance stability

• Improve posture

• Support rehabilitation

• Reduce injury risk

• Improve sporting performance

• Help prevent future problems

This allows treatment to be targeted, effective and specific to your individual needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

Rehabilitation, Recovery & Performance

Biomechanics is not just for people in pain.

Many active individuals and athletes choose a Biomechanics Assessment to better understand how their body functions during walking, running and sport.

By identifying inefficient movement patterns, areas of weakness and excessive loading, we can often help improve movement efficiency, support rehabilitation following injury and optimise performance.

Whether your goal is to complete a marathon, enjoy long walks, keep up with your children, play golf or simply move more comfortably, understanding how your body moves is often the first step towards achieving it.

Treatment Recommendations

Depending on your findings, recommendations may include:

• Rehabilitation exercises

• Footwear advice

• Activity modification

• Shockwave Therapy

• Podiatric Acupuncture

• Running Gait Analysis

• Custom Foot Orthotics where clinically appropriate

Orthotics are only recommended when we believe they may improve comfort, function and long-term outcomes.

The Callen Olive Way

We Care.

At Callen Olive, we do not simply treat symptoms.

We assess how the entire lower limb functions and how movement influences your health, comfort and quality of life.
