StrideParents notice things doctors sometimes miss at a 10-minute check-up. Slow-motion gait analysis and pressure mapping make the invisible visible.
Frame-by-frame review reveals compensations invisible to the naked eye — the slight hip drop, the early heel lift.

2,048 sensors map exactly where your child loads their foot with every step — we show you the comparison in real time.
Referred by a pediatrician? We accept referral notes and send a full biomechanical report back to your child's doctor within 48 hours of the scan.
We don't prescribe insoles and send you away. Every 16 weeks, we measure whether the correction is working — and adjust if it isn't.
Your child stands on our structured-light scanner while 640,000 data points map every contour of their foot. No plaster, no mess — just a precise digital model accurate to 0.2mm.
We capture bilateral scans side-by-side so we can identify asymmetry that develops into compensatory gait.
Your scan is converted into a prescription orthotic milled from medical-grade EVA foam — not a generic insert pulled from a rack. Every degree of correction is deliberate.
We match firmness to your child's weight, activity level, and shoe type. School shoes, trainers, football boots — each gets its own prescription.
Children's feet change fast. Every 16 weeks we re-scan, re-analyse, and adjust the prescription. You receive a comparison chart showing exactly how their gait has shifted.
We track five key metrics: arch height, heel alignment, forefoot abduction angle, step width, and cadence. Progress is visible, measurable, and documented.
A gait analysis takes 45 minutes. You leave knowing exactly what's causing the issue, what the correction looks like, and what improvement looks like at 16 weeks.

My son was tripping three or four times a day at kindergarten. The teacher thought he was just clumsy. Stride showed me on screen — in slow motion — exactly why it was happening. Six months later, his teacher asked what changed.

I referred three children to Stride this term alone. The pressure maps they send back are genuinely useful — I can see exactly what changed and share it with parents who need something concrete to look at.

Mia had been complaining about her heels for almost a year. Two pediatricians told us it was growing pains. Stride diagnosed Sever's in fifteen minutes and had her orthotics ready in a week. She was back at gymnastics within three weeks.

The quiz on the website told me his concern was worth acting on quickly. That nudge got me to book. The scan confirmed bilateral flat feet. His custom orthotics arrived in five days and he hasn't complained about tired legs since.

As a pediatrician I appreciate that the report comes back within 48 hours and uses language I can discuss with families directly. The biomechanical diagram on page two is worth a thousand words in the consultation room.
