Injuries to the lower limb and many running injuries are caused from the ground up. Therefore, an understanding of how your feet move and how best to allow them to function is crucial in the prevention of injury.
What Does Foot Analysis Involve?
Foot analysis uses advanced scanning technology to help us understand how your feet function when standing, walking, or running. Our foot analysis Chiswick service uses our footscan technology to capture and view your gait analysis to highlight any imbalances, areas of excessive pressure, and unusual movement within your foot.
Many injuries are caused from the feet up, and by identifying any problems with your feet, our Sports Podiatrists and Injury Treatment Clinicians can also highlight how these problems can affect other parts of your body, such as your knees and lower back.
How Do Custom Orthotics Help Prevent Injury?
We have created a custom orthotics Chiswick service. During a custom orthotics Chiswick assessment, a foot scan is taken of your feet. The results of the foot scan are then used to highlight areas of imbalance in your feet. The custom-made orthotics then correct these imbalances in your feet. We offer custom-made orthotics for sports injury prevention as well as for the treatment of existing injuries.
Custom-made orthotics can aid the treatment of plantar fasciitis, for example by reducing stress on the plantar fascia. In addition to being used for sports injury prevention and for the treatment of sports injuries, the custom-made orthotics can also be used as part of the running injury treatment. Running injuries can be treated with custom-made orthotics in conjunction with good quality shoes and running shoe advice in order to address the underlying cause of the running injury.
At Clinic4Sport, we use the advanced footscan technology to give you the most advanced foot analysis. The results from your scan will give our staff and yourself the best information to treat and prevent injuries related to your feet. A pair of custom orthotics can be made from your scan, which will support your feet correctly to give you the best possible sports injury prevention
