PhysAnalytica provides specialist gait analysis in St Albans from our clinic at Batchwood. The assessment combines pressure-mat measurement with expert biomechanics and physiotherapy input to help understand how you walk, how pressure is distributed through your feet, and whether those findings are relevant to pain, injury, balance or movement goals.
What does our St Albans gait analysis assess?
Our pressure-mat system records objective information about foot loading during standing and walking. We consider this alongside your symptoms, activity, footwear, movement history and clinical findings rather than treating pressure data in isolation.
The assessment can be useful for people with foot or ankle symptoms, recurring lower-limb problems, walking concerns, running-related issues, balance concerns, or those considering custom orthotics.
Biomechanics with clinical context
PhysAnalytica combines objective biomechanics with healthcare. Pressure measurements can identify asymmetries and loading patterns, but the key question is whether those findings are relevant to the individual. Where appropriate, results can be considered alongside physiotherapy assessment, rehabilitation and movement goals.
3D foot scanning and custom orthotics
If clinically appropriate, gait analysis can be combined with 3D foot scanning as part of our custom orthotics pathway. Orthotics are considered only where the full assessment suggests that changing support or pressure distribution may be useful.
