You may be new to running and keen to be sure your feet and legs are up to the job, you may be concerned to avoid injury while progressing your training or you may simply want a better understanding of your foot.

The 20-30 minute session starts with a physical examination of your feet and ankles to assess their structure and joint motion. Your overall posture while standing is assessed to identify any anomalies in your upper body, trunk and lower limbs. Your gait in walking and running on a treadmill is then observed and captured on video to allow slow-motion replay. Your style of gait, together with any anomalies or risk factors for injury, can be identified and discussed. You will be advised regarding your future choice of sport and regular footwear.

The assessment and feedback will be carried out by Dr Ian Robinson, a podiatrist with extensive experience in musculoskeletal disorders of the foot and ankle. You will be provided with a comprehensive report detailing your assessment and recommendations.
