Tara has also completed her specialist biomechanical training with The Orthotic Group (TOG). The process of assessment involves a digital gait scan using a highly sensitive force platform which measures how each part of the foot works & distributes weight in standing & walking. Tara will then manually assess each foot incorporating the latest research into foot and ankle analysis. Tara will compile all data collected with the TOG lab in Cookstown who will build a custom orthotic.
