Podo Scanning
A 3D scan of your foot shape, pressure distribution and walking pattern, giving your clinician an objective, measurable starting point for every treatment decision that follows.
Overview
Podo scanning is a technology-led foot and gait assessment. Instead of relying on observation alone, it captures how your feet are shaped and how they behave under load and in motion, turning what would otherwise be a judgement call into repeatable, measurable data.
The results are used to guide everything from footwear advice to custom orthotic design, and to track how your feet respond to treatment over time.
- Arch height and overall foot shape
- Pressure distribution while standing and walking
- Gait pattern, stride length and left-right symmetry
- Postural alignment and joint mobility

Who May Benefit
- Anyone with unexplained foot, knee, hip or lower-back discomfort
- Anyone considering custom orthotics
- Children with a developing gait
- Older adults with balance concerns
- Athletes wanting to reduce injury risk
How The Assessment Works
Standing Scan
A barefoot scan on a pressure-sensing plate maps static foot shape and weight distribution.
Gait Analysis
Walking, and running where relevant, is captured to analyse stride pattern and symmetry.
Footwear Review
Your commonly worn shoes are examined; wear patterns reveal a lot about how you move.
Findings Discussion
Your clinician explains the results in plain language, linked to your symptoms and goals.
Benefits
- An objective, repeatable baseline for comparing progress over time
- Supports more accurate, personalised orthotic design
- Reveals subtle asymmetries not visible to the naked eye
- Non-invasive and quick, with no downtime
- Suitable for every age group and activity level
Frequently Asked Questions
When to book a scan: persistent foot, ankle, knee or lower-back pain, a noticeable change in how you walk, recurring injuries, or before investing in custom orthotics are all good reasons to get scanned.
No. Podo scanning is non-invasive, you simply stand and walk as instructed while the scan is captured.
A typical scan takes a few minutes; your full appointment including review usually runs longer.
Not necessarily. Your clinician will advise how often re-scanning is useful for your specific plan.
