Gait Analysis at The Body Lab: Unlock the Secret to Better Movement and Pain Relief
Walking Gait Analysis
Are you tired of recurring pain or discomfort in your feet, knees, hips, or back? Have you tried different treatments without long-lasting results? At The Body Lab, we offer something unique in Canberra: an advanced Gait Analysis using the Anatomy in Motion (AiM) method, which could be the key to solving your movement issues.
What is Gait Analysis and How Can It Help You?
Gait analysis is more than just looking at how you walk—it’s about understanding the precise movements of your entire body during walking. At The Body Lab, I use AiM’s advanced walking gait assessment to observe how every joint in your body interacts while you move. This allows me to pinpoint hidden imbalances or inefficient movement patterns that could be causing your pain or discomfort.
By analysing your gait, I can identify the underlying cause of your issues, whether it’s foot pain, knee instability, or lower back discomfort. Instead of just treating symptoms, we focus on correcting your movement, leading to long-term relief and improved mobility.
Why Choose Gait Analysis at The Body Lab?
I am the only practitioner in Canberra certified in Anatomy in Motion (AiM), a cutting-edge method designed to assess and treat movement dysfunction. With this unique training, I don’t just look at your feet; I look at how your entire body moves in harmony (or doesn’t). This advanced approach allows me to:
• Address the root cause of your discomfort, rather than just the symptoms.
• Improve your posture, gait, and overall movement.
• Prevent future injuries by correcting inefficient movement patterns.
• Help you feel more balanced and stable in your everyday activities.
What to Expect During Your Gait Analysis
Your session at The Body Lab will include a detailed evaluation of your gait, starting with a thorough assessment of your body mechanics. We’ll measure how your joints move through each phase of walking—stance and swing—while tracking weight distribution across your feet. Using AiM principles, I’ll map out how your foot, ankle, knees, hips, and spine are working together (or not), and identify areas where movement is restricted or inefficient.
By understanding these patterns, I can design a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs—whether it involves exercises, manual adjustments, or specific mobility work to realign your body.
Who Can Benefit from Gait Analysis?
• Athletes: Enhance your performance and prevent injury.
• Those with chronic pain: Eliminate recurring issues by addressing the root cause.
• Anyone with foot, knee, hip, or back discomfort: Discover how your movement patterns could be contributing to your pain.
• Individuals looking to improve their overall mobility and posture: Move more efficiently and feel better day-to-day.
Why Is This Important?
Many people struggle with pain for years without realizing that the way they walk might be causing or contributing to their issues. If you’ve been suffering from foot pain, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, or lower back discomfort, gait analysis offers a comprehensive look at how your body functions—and helps us fix the underlying problems.
