Dance Injuries
Dance places significant strain on the body, and most of the issues we see in dancers trace back to turnout — and specifically, whether that turnout is genuinely coming from the hip, rather than being forced through the knee or foot. Turnout Starts at the Hip Very few dancers are born with a perfect natural […]

If you’ve been told your child’s leg pain is “just growing pains” and it doesn’t need looking into, it’s worth getting a second opinion. In our clinical experience, what’s commonly labelled growing pains is generally linked to an identifiable biomechanical cause associated with growth spurts and it’s something that can actually be assessed and treated. […]
Read moreHeel Spurs
A heel spur is a build-up of calcium in the heel bone that causes the bone to extend outward, sometimes by more than a centimetre. It’s often linked to the same repetitive strain patterns that cause plantar fasciitis, and the two conditions frequently occur together. What Causes Heel Spurs? Heel spurs can result from over-exercising […]
Read moreHip Pain (Adults)
Most hip pain we see has a biomechanical origin. A structural short leg (a genuine difference in bone length) can cause the longer leg to jam into the hip joint, contributing to conditions like tendonitis, bursitis and osteoarthritis. Alternatively, if one foot pronates more than the other, that leg can effectively shorten, making the other […]
Read moreHip Pain (Sports)
Hip pain in athletes is frequently linked to how the lower limb is loaded through training and competition, particularly in sports involving repetitive one-sided movement, high training volume, or heavy resistance work. A structural leg length difference can cause the longer leg to jam into the hip joint. In contrast, a functional difference caused by […]
Read moreKnee Pain
When the feet roll inwards, a movement known as pronation causes internal rotation of the tibia (lower leg bone). Over time, this can skew the knee joint and place strain on the surrounding muscle structure, contributing to ongoing knee pain. Our Approach Rather than treating the knee in isolation, our biomechanical assessment looks at […]
