BIOMECHANICAL ASSESSMENT

Biomechanics Assessment at Blackrock Podiatry Clinic

At our Blackrock podiatry clinic, we specialize in biomechanics assessments to diagnose and treat foot, ankle, and lower limb conditions. Our expert state-registered podiatrists use advanced techniques to analyse movement patterns and identify any imbalances or abnormalities that may contribute to pain or injury.
