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.
What it can feel like
People often seek gait analysis for recurring running injuries, heel pain, Achilles pain, shin pain, knee pain, hip pain, orthotic questions or uncertainty about footwear.
Common causes
- Training load and recovery mismatch
- Strength or control limitations
- Footwear and surface factors
- Running or walking mechanics
- Previous injury affecting movement
How we assess it
Assessment may include clinical testing, walking or running observation, footwear review, strength checks and discussion of whether Run3D or orthotic input is appropriate.
Treatment options
- Gait and movement advice
- Strength and rehab planning
- Footwear guidance
- Orthotic advice if clinically useful
- Running load and return planning
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.
