Understand how you walk, run, and move and fix the root cause of pain or performance limitations with advanced gait analysis. Gait analysis is a detailed assessment of how your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back work together during walking and running. At our Melbourne clinics, we use evidence-based gait analysis to identify abnormal movement patterns, reduce injury risk, and improve overall movement efficiency. Whether you’re experiencing ongoing pain, recovering from injury, or aiming to optimise performance, expert gait analysis helps you move better, more comfortably, and with confidence. Book your gait analysis today and take the first step toward pain-free movement.

Gait analysis goes beyond basic observation. It examines how your body functions during real-world movement, identifying inefficiencies that contribute to pain, injury, and reduced performance.
Using high-speed video, treadmill analysis, and biomechanical assessment, we assess:
Foot strike and toe-off mechanics
Joint alignment and symmetry
Load distribution through the foot and lower limb
Muscle activation and movement timing
Unlike standard movement screens, gait analysis provides precise, measurable insights that guide targeted treatment and long-term improvement.
If you’re dealing with recurring lower-limb pain, inefficient walking or running mechanics, or slow injury recovery, gait analysis identifies the why behind the problem — not just the symptoms.
We begin with a full lower-limb evaluation, including posture, joint mobility, muscle strength, and walking or running analysis. This helps us understand how your body handles load during movement.
Using treadmill-based video and pressure assessment, we analyse foot strike, pronation/supination, cadence, stride length, and joint alignment throughout each phase of gait.
Based on your results, we create a tailored plan that may include:
Strength and mobility exercises
Foot mobilisation or manipulation
Footwear recommendations
Custom orthotics
Technique modification strategies
We monitor your progress, refine your plan, and make adjustments to ensure long-term improvements and reduced injury risk.
Ideal for individuals experiencing discomfort during daily walking or standing.
Commonly helps with:
Designed for runners of all levels to improve efficiency and reduce injury risk.
This assessment supports:
For people with persistent or recurring injuries caused by faulty walking or running mechanics.
Common conditions include:
Early gait assessment helps identify movement issues before they become long-term problems.
Ideal for:
Gait analysis provides a deeper understanding of how your body moves and why pain or inefficiency occurs.
A comprehensive gait analysis typically takes 45–60 minutes, depending on your goals and movement concerns.
Many patients notice immediate improvements once underlying movement faults are identified and addressed.
Yes. Gait analysis is particularly effective for long-standing foot, ankle, knee, and lower-limb pain by targeting the root cause of the issue.
Gait analysis focuses specifically on walking and running mechanics, while sports biomechanics examines sport-specific movement patterns and performance demands.
No referral is required, though we can collaborate with your coach, physiotherapist, or GP if needed.
