Posture, Walking & Orthotics
Poor posture, altered walking patterns, foot mechanics and pelvic imbalance can change how force travels through the body and contribute to recurring pain, stiffness and uneven movement.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
01
Poor Posture or Spinal Imbalance
Forward head posture, rounded shoulders, uneven hips or visible asymmetry when standing or sitting.
02
Walking or Gait Problems
Uneven walking, limping, one-sided loading or feeling that one leg or hip works differently from the other.
03
Flat Feet or Excessive Inward Roll
Feet that collapse inward, poor arch support or uneven shoe wear that may affect the knees, hips and lower back.
04
Scoliosis or Spinal Asymmetry
Uneven shoulders, ribs or hips, spinal curvature or postural changes that affect balance and movement.
WHY DOES IT KEEP COMING BACK?
Posture, feet, walking pattern, pelvis and spinal alignment all influence one another. If one part of the movement chain is not working well, other areas may compensate. That is why I assess the body as a whole rather than treating only where the pain is felt.
HOW I TREAT IT.
01
Posture & Spinal Assessment
I assess spinal alignment, posture and movement patterns to identify where imbalance or compensation may be developing.
Walking & Gait Analysis
02
I look at how the feet, knees, hips and pelvis move during walking to identify asymmetry and abnormal loading.
Foot & Orthotic Assessment
03
I assess foot posture, arch function and inward roll to determine whether customised orthotic support may help.
04
Corrective Care Plan
Where needed, I combine chiropractic care, posture correction, movement advice and orthotic support to improve overall alignment and function.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Answers to common questions about posture, walking, foot mechanics and orthotics, and how I assess these problems at my Dubai Healthcare City clinic.
1. Can poor posture cause pain?
Postural changes can increase stress on muscles and joints and may contribute to neck, back and other musculoskeletal problems. I assess posture together with spinal and pelvic alignment.
2. Why do you assess how I walk?
Walking can reveal problems with foot mechanics, leg alignment, pelvic movement and balance. These can influence how forces travel through the ankles, knees, hips and spine.
3. Can flat feet affect my back or knees?
Yes. Excessive inward rolling of the feet can alter lower-limb mechanics and may contribute to stress through the knees, hips, pelvis and lower back.
4. Do you provide custom orthotics?
Yes. When indicated by the examination, I use ICB® orthotics to help support foot mechanics and improve lower-limb alignment during standing and walking.
