When movement
becomes science,
performance becomes
predictable.
Our Sport Performance & Biomechanics Lab combines clinical physiotherapy, applied biomechanics and movement-analysis technology to help athletes move better, perform better, and stay injury-free.
Why Biomechanics is the Key to Performance
Almost every overuse injury — patellar tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, patellofemoral pain syndrome, cyclist's lower back pain, piriformis syndrome in runners — has a biomechanical root cause.
We don't just treat symptoms: we analyse movement as a whole, identify the compensations the body builds up over time, and turn the data into a concrete action plan.
Measure
Objective tools — inertial sensors, pressure plates, high-speed video — capture what the eye misses.
Interpret
Clinical physiotherapy and biomechanical expertise turn raw data into meaningful clinical insight.
Intervene
Personalised solutions: manual therapy, gait retraining, custom orthotics, bike fitting.
Four specialist services, one integrated lab
Running Biomechanical Analysis
Using high-speed video analysis and wearable inertial sensors, we assess your running mechanics in real time.
- Cadence, stride length and ground contact time
- Foot strike pattern (rearfoot, midfoot, forefoot)
- Hip, knee and ankle alignment during flight and stance phases
- Left-right asymmetries
- Overstriding, pelvic drop and cross-over gait patterns
Outcome
A personalised biomechanical report with practical recommendations on running technique, footwear choice and corrective orthotics.
Not just a report
Real,
continuous care.
From Performance
to Care
Sports analysis at Iris is never an isolated service — it's part of a complete clinical pathway. When a biomechanical assessment reveals an issue, the transition to treatment is immediate and fully coordinated.
Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation
Overuse injuries and post-trauma recovery
Podiatry & Foot Care
Structural issues, calluses and gait abnormalities
Custom Orthotics
Including everyday, non-sport versions for ongoing support
Injury Prevention Programmes
Built directly on the data from your assessment
An athlete doesn't just walk away with a technical report — they receive real, continuous care: from biomechanical diagnosis to treatment, all the way back to performance.
Built for every kind of athlete
Recreational & competitive runners
Improve efficiency or prevent recurring injuries
Cyclists & triathletes
Find the optimal position on the bike
Athletes returning from injury
Safe, data-driven return to sport
Sportspeople with chronic pain
Knee, hip, back or foot pain linked to sport
Data-driven athletes
Understand movement through objective analysis
How the pathway works
Initial Assessment
Sports history, postural and functional evaluation — the foundation of everything that follows.
Biomechanical Analysis
Video and sensor-based analysis during running, cycling or your specific sporting movement.
Report & Action Plan
Data interpretation and personalised recommendations delivered in a clear, actionable report.
Intervention
Physiotherapy treatment, bike fitting, custom insoles, or a corrective exercise programme.
Follow-Up
Progress monitoring and, where useful, a comparative re-assessment to measure real change.
The first step is understanding
how you really move.
Whether you're a runner chasing a new personal best, a cyclist searching for the perfect position, or an athlete who wants to get back to moving without pain — we're here.
