Biomechanics is the study of forces and their effects on the human and animal body in movement and at rest. Podiatric biomechanics can be best described as the total assessment of the lower limb to define a diagnosis, ascertain the cause and prescribe an intervention, usually an orthotic. A biomechanical prescription orthotic is a carefully constructed device that fits into your shoe and controls your foot motions and weight distribution as you walk and run.

Your first appointment will be for 30 minutes, involving discussing your medical history and current condition. Mr Mann will then advise the best treatment for you and the costs involved.
