Gait Analysis in Glasgow
Gait analysis can help when pain keeps appearing during walking, running or sport. The point is not to chase perfect movement, but to understand what your body is doing under load.
Foot pain? Find the cause.
For sore feet, nail pain, heel pain, verrucae, ankle problems or recurring lower-limb issues, start with a podiatry assessment.
Specialist podiatry at The Hub Glasgow is about understanding why the problem is happening, not just treating the sore bit.
You deserve a clear answer, not more guessing.
At The Hub Glasgow, podiatry, physiotherapy, diagnostics and rehabilitation sit together. That means we can look at the problem properly and guide you to the right next step.
Real people, real assessment and a plan that makes sense before you leave.
The Hub has been helping people move better since 1999. Our clinic pages are here to help you understand the likely routes, not self-diagnose. If something is painful, recurring, unclear or stopping you moving well, we want you assessed properly and pointed to the right care.
This is not basic foot care. It is specialist-level clinical reasoning.
The Hub Glasgow brings podiatry, MSK assessment, in-house diagnostic ultrasound, gait thinking and rehabilitation together. That is useful when symptoms are painful, recurring, unclear or stopping you from walking, running, training or working comfortably.

Questions people often ask
Is gait analysis only for runners?
No. It can also help walkers and people with recurring lower limb pain, especially when symptoms are linked with movement or load.
Will gait analysis tell me exactly which shoe to buy?
It can guide footwear decisions, but the best choice also depends on comfort, injury history, activity and clinical findings.
