A biomechanical assessment is an analysis of the body’s movement when walking or standing. It involves a standard examination of joints and muscles to help identify abnormalities and possible causes of your pain.

Testimonials
What our Customers say
I experienced pain due to walking for several years, which over time had been increasing in intensity. Steve was incredibly approachable and, after assessing the source of my pain, presented me with multiple treatment options in immense detail, outlining the pros and cons of each choice. I made the decision to get orthotics which Steve got made for me in a short amount of time. After 2 months of regularly wearing them the pain has disappeared completely. I cannot thank Steve enough; his knowledge and professionalism were impeccable.
For some reason my review shed up as Steve Zucal put it in there. I have known Steve since our university days when he was dux of his school. I was working on my feet all day about 18 years ago and was in a lot of pain at the end of each day. Steve had a look at the way i walked and designed an orthotic which i wear every day to this day. Great guy, Great podiatrist specialising in biomechanics, and loves his Mustang Bullitt. Couldn’t meet a better specialist.
Steve is very professional and knows what he is doing. He is great with kids and the elderly. Our family has been going to see Steve for over 10 years and each time we are treated with professionalism, his valuable expertise and a dose of humour.
Stephen has been in practice for many years and it shows, he really knows his stuff. I had considered my multi issue feet beyond help! Thankfully Steve has got me moving again.
Hi Steve, I can’t thank you enough for correcting the way I walk, you offered me the best solution, now I can walk pain free. Thanks once again 🙂

FAQ's About Orthotics & Podiatry
Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?
There are some occasions when a referral is needed though but these are few and far between. You might need a referral to see a podiatrist if you fall under a medical concession scheme such as the Department of Veteran Affairs or Worker’s Compensation.
Will my health fund cover the cost of the treatment?
Orthotics are often prescribed by doctors to help relieve pain and discomfort in a patient’s lower back, calves, or feet. When these parts of the body become overworked from standing all day at work or running around with kids all afternoon it can cause severe aches that need relief as soon as possible.
Orthotics function like customized insoles for your shoes; they provide more support where you need it most so you’re not always hobbling up stairs because your foot hurts too much to do any other type of movement outside sitting down!
