The Precision Gait Approach

A Clearer Way to Understand Pain and Recovery

Symptoms don't tell the full story. A detailed assessment identifies the factors contributing to your pain, helping us build a clear plan for recovery.

Why look beyond the painful area?

Pain tells us where you feel the problem. It doesn't always tell us why it developed.

An injured or overloaded tissue can be affected by a combination of factors, including how it is loaded, the capacity of the tissue, strength, mobility and the demands being placed on it.

A Precision Gait assessment looks at these factors together to build a clearer understanding of what may be contributing to your symptoms.

The aim is not simply to identify what is abnormal. It is to identify what is relevant to your problem and what needs to change.

01 — Assess

Understanding how you move, load and function.

A detailed assessment looks at more than the painful area. We assess the factors that may influence how your foot, ankle and lower limb handle load and movement.

The assessment may include:

• Movement & mobility
• Strength & load capacity
• Functional & gait analysis

Each part of the assessment provides information that helps build the overall clinical picture.

02 — Analyse

Turning assessment findings into a clear clinical picture.

Your assessment findings are brought together to understand the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.

We look at how your tissues are being loaded, whether they have the capacity to tolerate those demands, and whether movement, strength or mobility may be influencing how that load is applied.

The aim is not to identify every abnormality. It is to identify the factors that are most relevant to your problem and determine what needs to change.

03 — Recover

Turning clinical findings into a clear plan for recovery.

The assessment findings are brought together into a Precision Gait Report and Recovery Plan. This explains what we have identified, which factors are most relevant to your symptoms, and what needs to change.

The Recovery Plan provides clear direction for recovery, based on your current capacity, activity demands and goals.
