What is Biomechanics
Biomechanics uses established principles from Physics and Engineering and applies these principles to the movement of the human body. Thereby allowing us to analyse and understand how internal forces (such as bones, muscles, and ligaments) are affected by external forces such as the hard ground we walk on.
Over time, the intricate foot structure, consisting of 26 bones held together by soft tissue, gradually undergoes stretching. This loss of support leads to abnormal foot function during walking or running, subsequently affecting the biomechanics of the ankles and extending up the leg to the knees, hips, pelvis, and spinal column. As a result, many issues related to knee, hip, or back problems may stem from abnormal foot function, which can affect both children and adults.
Lower Limb Biomechanics for Adults and Children:
Treating the Cause, not just the Symptoms. To bring another level of care to our patients, the Bowral Foot Clinic has introduced Lower Limb Biomechanics into the practice. Our Lower Limb Biomechanical Practitioners focus on diagnosing and addressing the root cause of pain and dysfunction in the feet, ankles, knees and legs.
