Biomechanical Podiatry: Restoring Balance and Function
At Burgess Hill Podiatry, we understand that foot and lower limb issues can have a significant impact on your overall well-being and quality of life. We specialise in biomechanical podiatry, a branch of podiatric medicine that focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of foot and lower limb problems related to structural and functional abnormalities. We proudly serve the communities of Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, and Hassocks, offering comprehensive biomechanical podiatry services to help restore balance and function to your feet and lower limbs.
Biomechanics is the study of the structure and function of the human body, particularly in relation to movement. Biomechanical podiatry recognizes that the feet and lower limbs play a crucial role in maintaining proper alignment and efficient movement throughout the body. When there is an imbalance or dysfunction in the feet or lower limbs, it can lead to various issues, including foot pain, heel pain, shin splints, knee pain, hip pain, and even lower back pain.

Gait analysis
We will observe and analyse your walking patterns to identify any abnormalities or imbalances in your gait.
