Understand How You Move — and Why It May Be Causing Pain
Our gait analysis service helps identify how movement, foot function and biomechanics may be contributing to pain, recurring injury or reduced performance. Using video-based assessment and more advanced analysis where appropriate, we help patients understand what is happening and what to do next.
Is This Treatment Right for You?
Gait analysis is useful for patients with recurring foot, ankle or lower-limb pain, and for runners wanting a clearer understanding of their movement pattern.
Recurring Running Injuries
Repeated problems linked to training load, footwear, biomechanics or technique that keep returning despite rest and basic treatment.
Heel Pain or Achilles Pain
Understanding how you load the heel and Achilles during movement can be an important part of assessment and treatment planning.
Forefoot Pain or Overuse Symptoms
Identifying how load is distributed across the forefoot during walking or running can help explain persistent or recurring symptoms.
Concerns About How You Walk or Run
If you feel something is not right about your movement pattern, or you want a clearer picture of your biomechanics, we can help.
Repeated Injuries Linked to Biomechanics
Where training load or technique may be a contributing factor, gait analysis helps identify patterns that could be addressed.
Pre-Orthoses or Rehab Assessment
A clearer assessment of movement and foot function before orthoses are prescribed or a rehabilitation plan is put in place.
When Gait Analysis May Help
Gait analysis can form part of assessment for a wide range of movement-related and overuse conditions.
What Happens at Your Appointment
A structured assessment designed to understand how your movement may be contributing to pain or injury.
Discussion
We begin by discussing your symptoms, activity levels, injury history, footwear and goals to understand the full picture.
Movement Assessment
We assess the way you walk or run using 2D video or 3D MotionMetrix analysis, and look for movement patterns that may be contributing to the problem.
Clinical Findings
We explain what the assessment has identified — clearly and in plain language — so you understand what is happening and why.
Next Steps
Findings are used to guide treatment, rehabilitation advice, footwear recommendations or orthoses where appropriate.
Why Choose Us for Gait Analysis
Two Levels of Analysis
We offer both accessible 2D iPad running analysis and advanced 3D MotionMetrix gait analysis — the right level of assessment for your needs and goals.
Part of a Wider Clinical Picture
Gait analysis is integrated with our broader podiatry assessment so findings are used meaningfully, not just reported and filed.
MSK-Trained Podiatrists
Our team has postgraduate training in musculoskeletal podiatry and assesses movement and biomechanics as part of everyday clinical practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is gait analysis used for?
Gait analysis helps us understand how the way you walk or run may be contributing to pain, recurring injury or reduced performance. The findings can guide treatment, rehabilitation advice, footwear recommendations or orthoses where appropriate.
Is gait analysis only for runners?
No. It can be useful for runners, but also for people with recurring foot, ankle or lower-limb pain during walking or daily activity who want a clearer picture of what may be contributing to the problem.
What is the difference between 2D and 3D gait analysis?
2D running analysis uses video to assess movement in a practical and accessible way — suitable for most patients. 3D MotionMetrix analysis provides a more advanced biomechanical assessment where a greater level of detail is clinically appropriate.
Do I need a GP referral to book gait analysis?
No. You can book directly. A GP referral is not required for any of our services.
How much does gait analysis cost?
Current fees are £135 for 2D running analysis and £210 for 3D MotionMetrix analysis. Both appointments are up to 90 minutes. Please contact us if you would like to confirm which assessment is most appropriate before booking.
Will I receive a treatment plan following the assessment?
Yes. The findings from your gait assessment are used to inform clear recommendations — whether that involves rehabilitation exercises, footwear advice, orthoses, or other podiatry treatment where appropriate.
