Biomechanical podiatry in general terms involves the diagnosis and treatment of all lower limb and foot injuries, regardless of age, gender or activity.
A sports injury may be categorized as an acute injury or an overuse injury, depending on the cause of injury and the onset of symptoms.
When to seek treatment?
Most people have no idea whether or not they are running or functioning correctly, however, when an injury occurs they know they must do something about it. At Pioneer Podiatry, with the use of a computerised posture, balance and gait assessment we can quickly determine whether your foot and leg alignment and stability is sufficient for performing your particular activity.
