  • Biomechanics specialist to London’s West End and Dance UK

Problems when walking, running or dancing at any age can be worrying enough, but can be disastrous if this affects your quality of life, health or livelihood. Signs of bunions, clawing of the toes, joint pains in the foot and leg, hard skin formation, recurring injuries could all be signs of problems due to imbalance, mal-alignment and the wayour bodies change over time.

Scott Corthine is highly regarded by his peers in the field of biomechanics, which is simply applying the principles of engineering to the way we walk, run or dance to solve problems at their root cause.

Scott has worked with adults and children with a wide variety of disabilities, health problems, athletic disciplines and professional dancers for many years. He has been consultant to many West End Productions and sits on the Medical Advisory Board of the charity ‘Dance UK’, who look after the interests of professional dancers.

Biomechanical Assessment

Scott seeks long-term solutions for a wide variety of foot and leg problems and in the first instance performs an assessment to:

  • Identify the underlying cause of your problems or concerns.
  • Discuss what can be done to help, including any options.
  • Explain what treatment may realistically be expected to be achieved.

When attending a biomechanical assessment our checklist includes:

  • Wear loose trousers that can be rolled above the knees, or bring some shorts to change in to.
  • Bring in anything you have been given in the past, such as old orthoses or insoles, even if they did not help.
  • Bring in a selection of shoes that you normally wear. Your ‘9-5’ daily shoes, shoes you wear through your work or your sport and dress shoes if these are important to you.
  • Bring a list of anything you think is relevant, such as a history of any injuries, surgery or medication you are taking.

 

Treatment

Once Scott has an understanding of the underlying cause of your problems he will explain what is needed to get you better. This may involve stretches, exercises, manipulations, physiotherapy or orthoses (insoles that support and control the way the foot moves to avoid problems).
