What is Tog Gaitscan?

Gaitscan is the combination of state of the art computer hardware and software that helps our Chiropractor analyse your feet. This analysis combined with our Chiropractic knowledge and experience will detect abnormal foot function which maybe affecting you feet or anywhere else in your body.

Why is Gaitscan so important?

Your foot is in contact with the ground for about 0.8 of a second when walking or about 0.25 of a second of running. Imagine trying to determine normal or abnormal foot function with the naked eye. The Gaitscan system records your time sequences during gait as you walk or run across the pressure plate. This enables our Chiropractor to have a clear picture of your foot mechanics.
