Have you ever suffered from 'shin-soreness', pain on the inside of the
knee, or 'foot-arch' pain?
Conditions such as 'shin splints', pain from the plantar fascia and
Achilles tendon inflammation are some of the conditions that can be successfully
treated following proper assessment and correction of foot posture. A
Physiotherapist or Podiatrist using Gaitscan[r] technology can quickly and
accurately assess the biomechanical problems of your feet.
The Gaitscan[r] approach utilizes a dynamic force plate which comfortably
presents a computer image of what is happening at ground level with respect
to gait timing and pressure distribution. Any corrective device or orthotic
that may be needed can be custom designed from this data. Gaitscan[r] gives
an accurate and measured prescription compared to prior approaches. It allows
for a more streamlined and lightweight device that can be worn in most
footware.
The Physiotherapists at Ringwood Physiotherapy and Spinal Clinic are
trained in the use of Gaitscan[r]. Please call the Clinic for an assessment.
