What is a biomechanics assessment?

A biomechanics assessment involves analysing your body’s movements, particularly how you walk, run, or cycle. By evaluating your gait and posture, we can identify imbalances or misalignments that may be causing pain or limiting your performance. These assessments allow us to pinpoint the root cause of your discomfort, whether it stems from the ankle, knee, hip, or another area of the body.

Who can benefit from a biomechanics assessment?

Biomechanics assessments are beneficial for a wide range of individuals, including:

  • Athletes: Runners, cyclists, and other athletes looking to improve performance, avoid injury, or recover from existing conditions.
  • Active individuals: People who regularly engage in physical activity and want to optimise movement and prevent overuse injuries.
  • Those with chronic pain: Individuals suffering from recurring issues, such as knee, hip, or lower back pain, that may be related to movement imbalances.

Our approach to biomechanics

At Hampshire Chiropractic Clinic, we take a personalised approach to each patient’s needs. During your assessment, we use a combination of gait analysis and a detailed mechanical examination. This allows us to observe how you move in real-world conditions, such as walking or running outdoors, and understand the underlying mechanics contributing to your pain or discomfort.

Our approach is hands-on, with practical advice and support to help you correct imbalances and improve efficiency in movement. With years of experience in martial arts and multisport racing, our lead practitioner has developed an expert understanding of injury prevention and performance enhancement, which we bring into every biomechanics assessment.

How we help you recover

Once we’ve identified the root cause of your problem, we create a personalised treatment plan that targets the specific tissues—muscles, ligaments, tendons, or bones—that are causing discomfort. We manage each component of the injury with a combination of:

  • Soft-tissue massage and manipulation to relieve pain and promote healing.
  • Home exercises that include stretches and strengthening activities to support your recovery.
  • Gait drills to help you adjust to healthier movement patterns, reducing the risk of future injuries.
  • Footwear recommendations to ensure you have the proper support, whether you need custom insoles or simply the right shoes for your foot type and gait.
