How findings are used

Treatment pathway
Biomechanical Analysis
Assessment of foot posture, movement and loading to help identify factors affecting comfort, pressure and mobility.
Repeated pain, recurring calluses, an unstable walking pattern or a shoe that wears unevenly can all be reasons to seek assessment.
Treatment overview
Care is shaped around the person, the diagnosis and the goal.
Assessment of foot posture, movement and loading to help identify factors affecting comfort, pressure and mobility. A biomechanical review may consider standing posture, walking pattern, joint movement, muscle function, footwear and areas of repeated pressure.

Treatment context
Who may benefit
A clear assessment helps identify the right pathway.
Repeated pain, recurring calluses, an unstable walking pattern or a shoe that wears unevenly can all be reasons to seek assessment.
01What is reviewed
02How findings are used
How the pathway works
Understand the care before it begins.
A biomechanical review may consider standing posture, walking pattern, joint movement, muscle function, footwear and areas of repeated pressure.
What to expect
Treatment is reviewed as needs change.
Assess
Findings may guide footwear advice, exercises, pressure reduction, orthotic planning or referral, depending on the individual concern.
Plan
The clinician explains the next step in the context of your findings.
Provide care
The clinician explains the next step in the context of your findings.
Follow up
The clinician explains the next step in the context of your findings.
Treatment modules
Practical care, explained clearly.
How findings are used: Findings may guide footwear advice, exercises, pressure reduction, orthotic planning or referral, depending on the individual concern.
Protect your feet between reviews.
Keep changes protected, avoid unadvised self-treatment and seek advice if symptoms worsen or do not improve.
The next step should be clear.
A timely assessment helps match care to the diagnosis, risk and practical needs of the person.
Common questions
When should I seek medical advice?+
A new wound, spreading redness, swelling, discharge, odour, colour change, or a hot, cold or painful foot should be assessed promptly. If you feel very unwell, seek urgent or emergency care.
How is the right pathway chosen?+
A clinician considers the diagnosis, symptoms, skin or wound, sensation, circulation, pressure, footwear, medical history and your goals before recommending next steps.
What should I bring to an appointment?+
Bring recent reports, a medication list, details or photographs of changes over time and your usual footwear when relevant.
