This programme will increase your understanding of the body's correct mechanics, allowing you to incorporate this into future training.
This data is then used to design your tailor-made Phits orthotics.
Our orthotics (insoles) are made from 3 layers:
Biomechanical gait analysis is available at our clinics in Newcastle, Gateshead and Sunderland.
Changes in your running biomechanics can dramatically improve your running economy and efficiency, reducing the amount of energy you use. This all leads to faster times and less injuries.
A Biomechanical assessment will assess the fundamental, functional use of the body when moving – how the client carries their body, moves, walks and runs and how well balanced the body is.
This is normally sufficient to highlight what changes need to be made with rehabilitation.
However, we can then offer a more detailed 3D analysis with our World Class Foot Scanner. This enables prescriptive Orthotics to be made specific to the clients needs. This can be added at a later date.
The Foot Scanner is a state-of-the-art device that uses advanced imaging technology to deliver a 3D analysis of the structure and pressure points of your feet.
Using pressure sensors, the Foot Scanner captures a detailed map of your foot, highlighting issues such as:
– Flat feet
– Pronation (inward rolling of the foot)
– Supination (outward rolling of the foot)
– High arches
– Uneven weight distribution
The digital scan reports your foot risk assessment, and its impact on the rest of the body in terms of potential injury, or the cause of current injury and pain.
Had my first appointment with Trevor, my arm feels better after the first treatment. Still some way to go but I feel very positive about the road to recovery and I couldn’t ask for a better service. Very professional. There was come confusion over payment as I’m going through Bupa that was my fault when I booked. Penny the practice manager has Emailed me this morning to resolve the issue. Top marks all round. Will definitely use the performance clinic again “when” I have my next misadventure.
A Footscan assessment may help if you experience:
Please bring footwear you regularly wear such as trainers, casual shoes or work shoes.
Shorts are preferable as we need to assess bare legs and feet during movement analysis.
Your feet play an important role in distributing forces when walking and running.
Pain elsewhere in the body can sometimes originate from foot mechanics. We complete a full biomechanical assessment alongside the 3D Footscan to understand your movement patterns and integrate this with scan data.
The initial biomechanical assessment takes approximately 60 minutes.
The Footscan takes a further 30 minutes and can be completed during the same appointment or added later.
Orthotics are typically delivered directly to the client within around 14 days after laboratory processing.
