If you are a sportsperson or someone whose job involves a lot of footwork, there is a chance that you may develop issues with your lower limbs and feet due to exhaustion or injuries. At such times, a foot biomechanical assessment helps you to understand the reason for your pain.
At Flexifit, many patients come in with severe lower back, hip, ankle, or foot pain. For such cases, our experts use the biomechanical assessment to find out the root cause of the pain and suggest a treatment plan.
A biomechanical assessment of the lower back, limbs, feet, etc., is designed to closely observe your legs’ movement, structure, and posture to identify any potential abnormalities. This assessment helps your therapists to understand what is causing the pain. It can be the way you walk (or your Gait), the way your feet move, and the way your posture is while walking.
On close examination during the foot biomechanical assessment, the doctors can determine where the pain is emerging from and treat you accordingly. These exams are very beneficial, especially if you notice any sudden pain or issues with your lower back, legs, etc.
These assessments are usually categorised into two types. Static and dynamic assessments. Both of these types are important in determining the underlying cause of your pain.
A static foot biomechanical assessment involves the patient sitting or standing and their doctors taking the necessary measurements. This helps them assess any postural issues and the alignment of your body. They may also check your range of motion, mobility, etc.
A dynamic assessment is when your doctor asks you to walk or run to assess your gait or way of walking. They will see how your limbs move while you walk and check for any abnormalities there. The doctors may often ask for a video of you walking or running to examine your case thoroughly.
This assessment is a general overview of your posture, gait, movement, etc., so that the main cause of your pain and the originating spot can be determined. We at Flexifit conduct a thorough examination of all aspects during this assessment. We ensure that even you know what is causing your pain and help you overcome those difficulties.
We all have different bodies, and hence, we stand or walk differently. There may be some deformities in our posture or body alignment that may seem normal to us. Hence, it is important that we consult the proper professionals in case of any abnormal pain.
Getting a foot biomechanical assessment from experts like Flexifit has many benefits and can help patients deal with their issues effectively.
Many chronic diseases like diabetes have a risk of losing sensation in the limbs and many other issues related to your legs and feet. Consulting a properly certified doctor for an assessment is very important in such cases. You might overlook a serious symptom as an effect of the disease, but it actually may not be what you think and turn into something serious. In some cases, neglect can even lead to the need to amputate limbs to save the patient.
A regular foot biomechanical assessment helps you stay ahead of your health and maintain long-term foot health. It also helps in understanding the cause of your pain and relieving it with relevant treatment. Our experts at Flexifit will ensure that you get an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment to recover from the issues. They will also help you maintain better foot health and make sustainable and beneficial changes in your lifestyle.
Unbalancing due to injuries or abnormalities can be dealt with efficient treatments. With these issues gone, the patients’ chances of tripping or falling reduce considerably. Recurrent falling or imbalance is a symptom of severe issues with the foot or ankle. Simple exercises or treatments can deal with these issues.
Regular foot biomechanical assessment makes it possible to notice the early signs of diseases like arthritis, gout, etc. However, it needs a practised expert to determine the symptoms early. Our experts are well-trained and experienced enough to notice even the slightest abnormalities and treat them effectively.
A foot biomechanical assessment can prove very beneficial and effective when done regularly. These assessments determine the cause of the pain in the lower back, foot, ankle, etc. The experts at Flexifit are determined to help patients with foot, ankle or lower back pains with accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Gabrielle Delamont2024-01-05For the past few months I have had the pleasure of receiving physiotherapy treatment from Tessa at FlexiFit Physiotherapy in Collaroy for an ongoing neck & back issue, and I must say it has been an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere, which immediately put me at ease. Tessa demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise throughout my sessions. She took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, listening attentively to my concerns and addressing them with the utmost care. Her extensive knowledge and understanding of the human body were evident in her ability to accurately diagnose and develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to my specific needs. What truly impressed me was Tessa’'s ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner. She patiently guided me through each step of the treatment process, ensuring that I understood the purpose and benefits of each exercise or technique. This not only empowered me to actively participate in my own recovery but also instilled a sense of trust and confidence in her abilities. I am delighted to say that thanks to Tessa's expertise and guidance, I have experienced significant improvement in my condition. Her holistic approach, combining manual therapy, exercise prescription, and education, has not only alleviated my pain but also equipped me with the tools to prevent future injuries. I highly recommend FlexiFit Physio to anyone in need of physiotherapy services. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for their patients make them an outstanding practitioner in their field. I am very grateful for the positive impact they have had on my health and well-being.
Jayel March2024-01-03I can’t recommend the team at Flexifit highly enough! I’ve had chronic shoulder problems for 2 years and seen other specialists which hadn’t solved the problem. Tessa at Flexifit sourced the problem and after the first session, my shoulders were sitting aligned - the first time that’s happened in 2 years. I felt validated with the pain I was in and feel so much more positive about my treatment pathway with Flexifit.
Patricio Servat2024-01-02Georgia’s brilliant and excels in all the areas I want from a physio - diagnosing/figuring out the prob, massage and physical work, and then exercises to do at home to help long term. Worth the 40 minute drive!
vanessa matulin2023-11-29I've been seeing Georgia and Tessa from FlexiFit for the last year, and they have both been outstanding. They are caring, compassionate and highly skilled. They have assisted me with managing multiple injuries and I've referred several members of my family who are equally impressed with their services! Thank you, Georgia and Tessa, you guys are amazing!
Mitchell Veitch2023-11-28Great experience helping with my ACL recovery, would recommend
J2023-11-03I can commend Georgia and Tessa for their excellent hands-on approach. So many physios nowadays are often hands-off, so being treated at FF has been a refreshing change 🙌🏻
Kirsten Alexander2023-10-30Georgia and Tessa are both friendly and professional and have helped fix my injuries and get me moving again. They are very hands on and I highly recommend them
Danielle de Gail2023-10-30The girls at FlexiFit are simply amazing. So kind, friendly, understanding and knowledgeable. They know exactly what my body needs. My neck pain has improved dramatically since going here. Love my visits!
Meil's Curic2023-10-22The team at FlexiFit Physio are exceptional practitioners who genuinely care about the outcomes for their clients. When you book with Georgia or Tessa you know you have their full attention for the session, they are not juggling multiple clients and their hands on therapeutic approach is seamless and extremely effective to reduce pain and enable progression from injury. I can not recommend them more highly. Thanks guys!
Julia Fujikawa2023-09-05My experience at FlexiFit Physiotherapy has been truly exceptional, and I would wholeheartedly recommend both Georgia and Tessa to anyone in search of effective support for managing persistent pain conditions. Both Georgia and Tessa have been integral to my journey in addressing both acute knee pain and long-standing issues with back pain, tension headaches, and migraines. In the past, my interactions with healthcare professionals haven't always yielded lasting results. However, the level of attentiveness and authentic care they've shown for my overall well-being and the underlying causes of my pain are clearly reflected in their hands-on approaches, follow- up care and advice and healing strategies. I feel so lucky to have found this practice.
