What is Biomechanics?
Biomechanics is the study of dynamic body mechanics and the relationship one movement has on other parts of the body. The Podiatrist will preserve, restore and develop the function of the foot and gait to ensure efficient biomechanical movement throughout the body.

A Biomechanical examination involves measurements of all the joints from the hips down, video gait analysis, and perhaps strapping, padding or orthotics. By controlling the body's mechanics Podiatry has a key role in treating and preventing sports injuries.
