Why advanced? We offer the most thorough gait analysis available in the North East.
We use experience, training and instrumented measurement to get to the true nature of your issues. Not only will we observe you walking, running or doing your 'Play' moves, but we will measure and quantify using the most advanced gait instrumentation usually only available in specialist hospital departments or universities.
Can also be called musculoskeletal assessment or sports biomechanics.
