Joint Physio and Podiatry Running Gait Screening now available

Tuesday, 10 May 2011 09:57

Ocean Physio & Rehab are now offering a specialist running gait screening service delivered by our specialist Physiotherapist Holly King and Podiatrist Helen Hodgins.

The combined expertise of our therapists will analysis both your movement and biomechanics in order to highlight strengths and weaknesses and tailor a specific programme to maximise your performance and prevent injury.

Both practitioners believe that by working in partnership this joint approach is the most thorough way to help identify any problems and provide an in depth assessment.

Analysis of the interaction of the various body segments can be observed and any malalignment, strengths or weaknesses that may be leading to injury observed. A treatment plan if necessary will be discussed.

This service is particularly beneficial for conditions like shin splints, Achilles problems, calf problems and iliotibial band issues. 

This can be used as an initial consultation if needed or as part of a follow up appointment.

The service takes one hour and it is beneficial to bring your running footwear, shorts and running t shirt.
