Your appointment begins with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, activity levels and goals. This is followed by a comprehensive musculoskeletal examination, assessing your foot posture, joint movement, muscle strength, walking or running pattern and lower limb biomechanics.
Where appropriate, advanced technologies such as Footscan gait analysis and VALD strength testing may also be used.
Gait analysis is the assessment of how you walk or run. Using specialist technology, we can identify movement patterns, pressure distribution and biomechanical abnormalities that may contribute to pain, injury or reduced performance.
Footscan is an advanced pressure plate system that measures how your feet interact with the ground during movement. It provides objective information about force distribution, balance and pressure patterns, helping identify areas that may be contributing to injury or affecting performance.
VALD strength testing uses advanced technology to objectively measure muscle strength, balance and lower limb function. These measurements help identify weaknesses, monitor rehabilitation progress and guide personalised exercise programmes.
The way your feet move influences how forces travel through your ankles, knees, hips and lower back. Small changes in foot posture, muscle strength or walking and running technique can increase stress on joints and soft tissues, leading to pain or recurring injuries over time.
At One2One Therapy Bridgend, we use advanced biomechanical assessment tools, including Footscan gait analysis and VALD strength testing, to understand how your body moves. This objective data allows us to create highly personalised treatment plans that may include rehabilitation exercises, footwear advice, load management strategies and custom orthotics where appropriate. By treating the underlying cause rather than just the symptoms, we aim to help you recover fully and reduce the risk of future injuries.
Yes. Sports podiatry is commonly used to diagnose and manage injuries affecting runners, footballers, cyclists, gym users and other active individuals. Treatment aims to reduce pain, restore movement, improve performance and reduce the likelihood of future injuries.
Not everyone requires orthotics. Following your assessment, your podiatrist will determine whether custom 3D-printed orthoses, modular orthotics or alternative treatments such as rehabilitation exercises and footwear advice are the most appropriate solution for your condition.
Custom orthotics are individually designed insoles that support your feet based on your anatomy, biomechanics and activity levels. Our 3D-printed orthoses are created using detailed foot assessments and gait analysis to provide targeted support where it is needed most.
Yes. By analysing your biomechanics, running technique, strength and movement patterns, we can identify factors that may be limiting your performance or increasing your injury risk. We then provide tailored rehabilitation, strength training and footwear advice to help you run more efficiently and comfortably.
Absolutely. Identifying movement faults, muscle imbalances and abnormal loading patterns before they cause symptoms can significantly reduce your risk of injury. Injury prevention assessments are particularly valuable for runners and athletes returning to sport.
No. You can book directly with our Sports & Musculoskeletal Podiatry service without a GP referral.
