Podiatric Biomechanics in Spalding, Lincolnshire

Biomechanical Assessment of Pronation & Supination of the Foot

Podiatric Biomechanics is an exceptionally effective form of treatment to correct postural misalignments. Poor posture is a frequently ignored issue, despite the fact that poor body mechanics can lead to all sorts of structural problems, which overtime can impede very heavily in our daily lives.

Postural misalignment often causes severely painful conditions such as back pain, spinal dysfunction and migraines. We commonly seek help from other sources such as a Physiotherapist or Chiropractor, but unless the posture is addressed, then the problem will not go away. Podiatric Biomechanics is a really effective way to resolve these postural problems.

Podiatric Biomechanics is a very dynamic way to putting the body back into balance, both structurally and internally. When posture is tackled directly it can correct all manner of complaints from foot to leg, hip and back problems. The Podiatric Biomechanical approach is holistic; it often eliminates the need for surgery. With this unique approach, not only will the posture improve but core stability and balance will be greatly enhanced. From the top of the head down to the tip of the toes, the body will return back to balance.

Pronation of the Foot - Absorption

Pronation of the foot is a natural movement during walking wherein the weight of your body is transferred from the outside of your heel to the inside of your forefoot. 

Supination of the Foot - Propulsion 

Supination of the foot happens when the front of your foot pushes forwards to raise your heel, transferring your weight from the back of your foot towards your toes. This is what propels you in the direction you are walking. 

Biomechanical Assessment in Spalding

During your podiatric biomechanical assessment, your podiatrist will combine a series of questions with a physical examination of your legs, feet and lower back to gain a full picture of the issue you are having. Once the assessment is completed, your podiatrist will advise you on the best way to treat the problem. This can range from recommending orthotic implants for your shoes to referring you to a Physiotherapist for posture correction.
