Biomechanical Foot Assessment

A biomechanical Foot Assessment at our clinic covers all the basics and typically lasts up to 30 minutes (Must be 16 years of age or over).

Your podiatrist at The Foot Clinic Leeds will advise if an assessment is required.  Where appropriate Biomechanics may help to heal injuries and also relieve pain in the foot, lower limb, back and hip. It may also assist in improving performance in sports.

Biomechanics involves the assessment of the structure, alignment and function of the feet and legs.

Tailored advice and exercises may be given and the recommendation of orthotics/insoles where appropriate.  We stock a wide range of insoles and orthotics to cover the most common problems, where we don't have stock we can order what you require for a £10 non returnable deposit.  Once the insoles arrive we will organise a fitting appointment if required.

If you already use insoles/orthotics please bring them with you to the assessment.

 Please note we DO NOT perform electronic Gait analysis or have running machines to watch you run and we do not take plaster casts to mould custom make insoles as we don't have the room to accommodate the required equipment.  More thorough Biomechanical assessments using specialist equipment is available elsewhere in Leeds which takes upto 90 minutes and typically costs over £150.   

For all new patients we obtain a medical and surgical patient history, including medications prescribed which will be recorded at the first appointment. We also perform an initial foot assessment to determine vascular and neurological status of the feet.

Existing patients will have their details checked regularly and routine assessments repeated as required.

If you are unsure if this is suitable for you please give us a call. 

Fees are :

£55 - for each Biomechanical Appointment

£20 - for future fitting appointment

£10 - Deposit to order in orthotics

£40+ Orthotics (prices vary)
