Here at EMPC, we offer highly specialised sports biomechanics and gait analysis in Loughborough. Our expert clinical team uses advanced movement tracking to uncover the root cause of your pain and design a personalised recovery programme tailored entirely to you.
We use dedicated computerised equipment and video analysis linked to well researched muscle testing techniques to produce some of the most in-depth assessments of body alignment and movement available.
Biomechanical problems are often the cause of recurrent or prolonged injuries. If you suffer with recurrent or successive niggling injuries, it is likely there is a biomechanical cause.
Biomechanical assessment involves investigating limb alignment and posture, muscle length and strength, and considering movement quality in relation to the individuals sport. Assessment typically involves joint and muscle screening, walking / running on a treadmill whilst being videoed, and walking / running over a force plate. This information can be used to identify the specific problem and provide a rehabilitation programme tailored to the individual. This may also include the use of orthotics in footwear. The vast majority of biomechanical problems can be solved through simple but specific exercises, providing the individual with lasting relief.

Not always. Many biomechanical faults can be treated effectively with targeted strengthening exercises from our Physiotherapy team, though we will recommend orthotics if clinically appropriate for you.
Please wear comfortable, tight-fitting sports clothing such as shorts and bring the running shoes you normally wear. This allows our clinicians to observe your natural movement accurately.
