Gait Analysis

At Northernhay Clinic we use Computer Gait Analysis to gain further understanding of the way you move. It allows us to observe your Lower Limb function a little more closely using Video and Data as a tool to help you understand the way you move. Sometimes our movement patterns can contribute to our painful symptoms, perhaps preventing them from settling as they should. Moving in a different way or ‘compensating’ due to Lower Limb Pain can contribute to the development of pain in other areas.

Our OptoGait software is designed to help our patients understand the way they move. Our Team have always believed that the more you understand about your body and your pain, the more likely you will be to take part in an active rehabilitation.

Knowledge is the key to success and understanding is the map to show the way. OptoGait Analysis is a tool to boost your understanding and to give our Podiatrists some objective data to help them tailor treatments for you.

What you need to know about Gait Analysis

Understand your own Physicality

Our Team can use our OptoGait data to help you better understand the way you move.

Education & Advice

Our OptoGait software allows our team to give you educational advice on Footwear, Activities, Foot Orthotic use and much more. Gait Analysis is not a tool to tell you that you are ‘walking wrong’. Everybody moves differently – there are no correct movement patterns.

Gait Screening

You don’t have to be injured to have a Gait Analysis. Perhaps you are a runner looking to improve a PB. Our OptoGait System can help us give you the right advice to improve your running form.

I have been a nursing for just over 30 years , l had to give it up last year due to chronic plantar fasciitis and l had tried everything that l could buy to relieve the burning pain in my heel , nothing was working and because of the difference in my stance and walking it was starting to effect my left knee , l had heard about northernhay clinic in Exeter from a friends Neice who had suffered so badly and gave up on help until she found these specialists so l decided l had nothing to loose
It was the best decision l made , my insoles were bespoke to my heels requirements , an examination and scan was given and great advice , exercises to relieve the pain , which was instantaneous , l honestly didn’t believe this could make such a difference but it has and l know l have control back again , no more pain in my heels and l couldn’t be happier , l recommend this team to everyone and l had the pleasure of meeting jack , professional , kind and patient
Thank you Northernhay

Great service from Jack Boulter at Northernhay Clinic. My ankle and knee problems have been corrected quickly and easily with a set of custom insoles following an initial examination. I should have made my appointment months earlier! Highly recommended for anyone with pain in the feet, ankles or knees. A practical, drug free solution.

I am so impressed with the service I received from Northernhay Clinic. Jack was very approachable and took time to explain the treatment that he offered. He was happy to answer any questions in a friendly and professional manner. The custom made foot orthoses are fantastic! They are so comfortable and have helped my back, hip and foot issues. They really are a game changer! I would highly recommend Northernhay Clinic.
Thank you Jack!

Excellent attitude and service. It has taken me from virtually unable to walk, back to walking almost pain free. Professional setup, with quality up to date equipment in a small personal clinic. Easy parking nearby too. Thoroughly satisfied with my service from them.
