In today's modern environment and with the emergence of the "baby boomer generation" there exists a real interest in preventative and alternative medical treatments which view the body's biomechanical structure in an wholistic manner.  Biomechanics of the body and more precisely lower limb biomechanics is now being viewed as a dynamic and essential area of fundamental treatment for many common complaints that we suffer every day.

The notion of looking at the body structure from the ground up is one which has seen remarkable anecdotal treatment results especially when practitioners use an wholistically integrated assessment system such as the NAS™ technique (see International College of Biomechanics Courses).  The NAS™ technique looks at the relationship between structure, inherited biomechanics, gait, muscle, skeletal abnormalities and how to integrate treatment modalities together with orthotic therapy to gain the best patient outcomes.

Prevention is always a better alternative in medical treatment and many allied health professionals are experiencing and allowing their patients to experience the benefits of modern innovations and developments in the science of lower limb biomechanics.  ICB's Medical Research & Development Department is constantly refining medical products and treatment methods that seek to treat the "cause" of pain, not just its outcome.
