Our Services
What Is Pressure Analysis?
Pressure analysis is an assessment that measures how force is distributed across your feet during standing, walking or running.
Using specialised technology, we can map pressure patterns in real time. This allows us to identify areas of high load, imbalance or inefficiency that may not be visible through observation alone.
It is often used alongside gait analysis to build a more complete picture of how your body moves.

Who Is This Service For?
Pressure analysis is suitable for anyone who:
- Experiences foot or ankle pain without a clear cause
- Has recurring issues that have not fully resolved
- Wants a deeper understanding of their foot mechanics
- Uses orthotics and wants to assess their effectiveness
- Is looking to optimise movement or reduce strain
It is particularly helpful when symptoms are linked to loading patterns rather than a single injury.
What Conditions Can It Help With?
Pressure analysis can provide valuable insight for:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Forefoot pain and pressure-related discomfort
- General foot and ankle pain
- Callus formation linked to pressure distribution
- Gait-related issues affecting the lower limb
- Biomechanical imbalances during walking or running
By understanding how pressure is distributed, we can better target treatment.

Pressure Mapping Assessment
You will walk or stand on specialised equipment that records how pressure is distributed across your feet.
This allows us to:
This allows us to:
- Identify areas of excessive load
- Detect asymmetries between left and right
- Understand how your foot interacts with the ground

- Guide footwear recommendations
- Inform orthotic design or adjustments
- Support rehabilitation planning
- Monitor changes over time
This allows for a more targeted and effective approach to treatment.
What Results Can You Expect?

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an initial appointment first?
Yes. A full assessment is required to ensure pressure analysis is appropriate and to interpret the results accurately.
Is pressure analysis the same as gait analysis?
No. Pressure analysis focuses on how force is distributed through the feet, while gait analysis looks at overall movement patterns. They are often used together.
Will this help with foot pain?
Yes. It can help identify pressure-related causes of pain and guide targeted treatment.
Can it be used with orthotics?
Yes. It is often used to assess how orthotics are working and whether adjustments are needed.
Is this covered by insurance?
Some providers may cover assessment, depending on your policy. We can guide you on this.
