Biomechanical assessment and Gait analysis in Ballymena

Get In Step Podiatry provides biomechanical assessment & gait analysis in Ballymena, led by HCPC registered Chiropodist Elaine Hoey. If you’re experiencing recurring lower limb pain, compensating with uneven steps, or struggling to get back to sport, it’s often not just “where it hurts” that matters it’s why your body is moving that way.

Our approach is rooted in clinical necessity: identifying the root cause behind foot, knee and hip pain through specialist lower limb and postural analysis. By carefully assessing gait and biomechanics, we can highlight pressure patterns, alignment issues and movement inefficiencies that may be driving discomfort. This creates a clear pathway for treatment decisions, whether you require conservative chiropody care or a more tailored podiatry plan with custom orthotics and targeted support.

You can also expect a thorough, patient-focused consultation for athletes and active individuals. From gait-driven insights to orthotic guidance, our assessments are designed to help you move better and reduce the risk of flare-ups. We routinely see people who have tried different remedies without addressing the underlying mechanics, our gait analysis helps ensure the correct strategy is used from the start.

At Get In Step Podiatry, we specialise in chiropody, gait and postural analysis, orthotics, sports injuries and lower limb and foot pain. You’ll be treated with professionalism and care at our Henry Street clinic in Ballymena, with clear recommendations you can understand and act on.
