Biomechanics assessment
Biomechanics assessment in Locks Heath
At Hampshire Chiropractic Clinic, we specialise in biomechanics assessments to identify and treat issues related to movement patterns. Whether you’re a runner, cyclist, or someone experiencing discomfort from daily activities, our assessments are designed to help you understand how your body moves and where improvements can be made to alleviate pain, prevent injury, and enhance performance.

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.

Why choose us?
At Hampshire Chiropractic Clinic, our philosophy is simple: we prioritise patient-focused care, using non-invasive techniques to help you achieve long-term health and wellness. We believe in preventative healthcare, ensuring that we not only treat your symptoms but also address the root causes to prevent future issues.

Just had an appointment with Graeme. I contacted him very last minute when travelling through the area. I walked in with some intense neck and shoulder pain and very little range of motion. I have now returned home, with no pain (tightness and discomfort still lingering obviously), movement, and some homework to help things along. For one appointment I could not be more impressed! A genuinely lovely guy, who seemed interested in me and invested in helping me. Thank you Graeme! I will be back for any future ailments - despite the travelling distance!![]()

Nothing but positive things to say. I put my back out and was struggling to even walk. Graeme was very welcoming, assessed the situation, proceeded with a back adjustment, and I walked out feeling much better. I went in struggling to walk, and walked out just fine. Thank you Graeme. I highly recommend.![]()

Contacted Graham 2 weeks ago, was in quite a lot of discomfort in upper back area that came on suddenly. Was limiting my exercise and general day to day tasks. He identified the issue (poor posture while gaming!!) and within 3 well priced appointments over 2 weeks I am now feeling better than ever. Excellent chiropractor.![]()
