Baropodometry (insoles)
BAROPODOMETRY (INSOLES)
Baropodometry is a method that assesses the pressure zones of the feet on the ground and how body weight is distributed while walking or standing. Through this detailed analysis, it’s possible to identify postural imbalances, gait alterations, and areas of excessive pressure, allowing for the creation of personalised solutions such as custom-made orthopaedic insoles.
WHAT IS BAROPODOMETRY USED FOR?
This exam is essential for detecting postural problems, causes of pain in the feet, ankles, knees or spine, and is also recommended for athletes looking to improve performance and prevent injuries. Based on the assessment, it is possible to develop customised insoles tailored to each person’s individual needs.

OSTEOFISIO lab was recommended to me by a cousin at a time when I was desperate due to severe neck pain, which was already preventing me from living a normal life. That’s when I found a super professional, dedicated and empathetic team that helped me fully recover and better understand my body. I realised that anything is possible as long as you’re with the right professionals. Thank you for everything!
