Biomechanical & Sports Injuries

Whether you’re a weekend jogger or a competitive athlete, sports injuries can slow you down. At PodHaus, we provide targeted, sports-specific care to help you recover quickly, prevent future injuries, and perform at your best, pain-free.

What Causes Sports Injuries?

Sports-related foot and ankle injuries can result from a variety of high-impact or repetitive activities. Common causes include:

Overuse – Repeated stress on muscles, tendons, or joints without proper recovery

Improper Footwear – Lack of support during activity can increase strain and instability

Sudden Movements or Trauma – Twisting, jumping, or impact injuries can damage soft tissue or bone

Poor Biomechanics – Inefficient movement patterns or abnormal gait can lead to uneven pressure and increase the risk of injury.

Inadequate Warm-Up or Conditioning – Failing to prepare the body can lead to muscle strain or ligament tears

At PodHaus, we perform a thorough biomechanical analysis, gait evaluation, and imaging (if required) to identify the root cause and guide your recovery.

Foot, ankle, and lower limb injuries are common among both athletes and active individuals. These often result from or are worsened by biomechanical dysfunction.

We perform comprehensive biomechanical assessments to evaluate how your body functions both when standing still and during movement, with and without footwear. This helps identify whether poor movement patterns, structural imbalances, or muscle weaknesses are contributing to your injury or pain.

Treatment may involve custom orthotics, exercise programs to restore strength and flexibility, stretching techniques, and advice on activity modification or footwear. Left unaddressed, biomechanical issues can contribute to ongoing discomfort and lead to secondary injuries.

Whether you’re returning to sport, managing a long-term injury, or looking to improve performance, we’re here to help you move better and stay active.
