Gait analysis at Bay Wellness offers a detailed assessment of how your body moves during walking or running. Led by specialist osteopath Kieron, this service is designed to help identify movement patterns that may be contributing to pain, inefficiency or recurring injury.
Whether you are physically active, returning from injury, or experiencing ongoing lower limb discomfort, gait analysis provides clear insight into how your body moves — and how it can move more comfortably and efficiently.
Gait analysis is a structured assessment of movement that looks at how the feet, ankles, knees, hips and spine work together during walking or running. Subtle imbalances or compensations in one area can place strain elsewhere in the body, often leading to pain, fatigue or reduced performance over time.
Through careful observation and clinical assessment, Kieron analyses posture, alignment and movement patterns to understand why discomfort may be occurring and how movement can be improved in a sustainable way.
Gait analysis may be helpful for:
Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation to understand your symptoms, activity levels and goals. This is followed by a physical assessment focusing on posture, joint alignment, flexibility and muscle balance.
You will then undergo a dynamic movement assessment, observing how you walk or run. Findings are explained clearly, and a personalised plan is developed based on what is most supportive for you.
This may include:
The focus is on providing a clear understanding and realistic steps to improve comfort and movement in everyday life.
At Bay Wellness, gait analysis is about understanding your body and helping it work well, not about aiming for perfect form. The advice you get is practical, realistic, and easy to fit into your daily routine.
