What is Podiatry about?
A PODIATRIST has studied the mechanisms that lead to musculoskeletal pain of the lower extremities, including the lower back. When you book a podiatry appointment your posture and gait will be examined with gait analysis software. You will need to wear a pair of shorts or leggings and a t-shirt for the assessment. Two dots will be applied to your lower back to assess your hip function.
You will have a thorough muscle and joint assessment. This examination includes your foot and ankle, your knees as well as your hips and lower back.
