Understanding How Your Body Moves
Our physiotherapists are trained to analyse how your body moves, from everyday movements such as bending and walking to running and sporting techniques. Using visual and video analysis, we identify movement patterns that may be contributing to pain or injury, affecting your performance or placing additional stress on your body.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question about Gait Analysis?
A few helpful questions about gait analysis, from recurring injuries and performance to appointments, results and running shoes.
Can gait analysis help identify factors contributing to recurring injuries?
Yes. Gait analysis can be useful for problems that develop gradually or keep returning, especially when the painful area appears normal during assessment. We’ll assess how your body moves to identify patterns elsewhere that may be placing additional stress on the affected area.
Is gait analysis useful if I don’t have an injury and simply want to improve my performance?
Yes. Gait analysis at our Dubai clinic can assess walking or running performance. Video analysis may identify aspects of your technique that could be more efficient or effective, helping determine where targeted training or coaching may be beneficial.
Can biomechanical gait analysis help non-athletes or office workers?
Absolutely. Gait analysis can benefit anyone experiencing pain or discomfort during everyday movement, with your assessment providing useful information to guide treatment.
How long does a gait analysis take, and when will I get my results?
Your first appointment takes approximately one hour, followed by a 30–45 minute appointment around one week later. Your physiotherapist will review your video footage and physical assessment before preparing a report and recommended management plan to discuss at your second appointment.
Can you help me choose the right shoes for walking or running?
Yes. We can narrow down the styles and features that may suit the way you walk or run. We’ll discuss suitable options and encourage you to try several pairs as part of your gait analysis at our Dubai clinic.
