The DIERS 4D motion lab. No guesswork. Just facts.
One fully integrated scan, head to toe, powered by the DIERS 4Dmotion® Lab. It gives accurate insight into your unique spinal anatomy and whole-body movement and loading patterns that you simply cannot get elsewhere.
In another league altogether.
Unlike other gait-analysis or foot-pressure systems used primarily with sports-shoe fitting and custom orthotics in mind, the DIERS system is an integrated registered medical device in another league altogether. It delivers detailed whole body, synchronised movement analysis with spinal vertebrae detail comparable to MRI and X-ray, and it does so with no radiation at all.
Developed by DIERS International in Germany, the technology is held in high esteem by renowned practitioners around the globe for its reliability and accuracy. You will find our lab at the clinic on Leckhampton Road, Cheltenham.
It was amazing to visit Porch House Clinic, their up to date technology and expertise is fabulous… It really does take the guess work out.Google review
*Accuracy comparable to MRI and X-ray for surface-derived vertebral analysis.
Three DIERS systems. One integrated picture.
Each instrument is a leader in its field. Together, synchronised in one lab, they measure your whole musculoskeletal system in a single visit.
DIERS formetric 4D
3D/4D spine and posture analysis. A light projector traces a fine grid across your back while cameras record it, building a precise three-dimensional model of your spine and posture. Nothing touches you, and there is no radiation.
DIERS 4Dmotion®
The leading technology for dynamic spine measurement. It analyses and visualises the complex motion of your spine and pelvis while you walk, not just while you stand still.
DIERS pedoscan
Static and dynamic foot pressure measurement with thousands of sensors, capturing exactly how you load your feet while standing and while walking.
Made for the unresolved.
- Want to understand your body and injury, wherever it is?
- Want to see the connections between the seemingly unrelated?
- Chronic injury? Tried everything? Getting nowhere?
- Had an X-ray or MRI with no obvious conclusion?
- Fed up with endless 'maintenance' appointments?
- Need pre / post-surgery comparison and rehab?
- Looking to prevent soft-tissue or osteoarthritic injury?
- Want to improve performance, in everyday life or in your sport?

The whole, interconnected picture.
Off the treatment couch, upright and weight-bearing, we gather detailed information about your spine, pelvis, legs and feet, so we can guide you knowledgeably to the most effective course of action.
Spine
Vertebra-level shape, alignment and movement, all radiation-free.
Pelvis
Position, rotation and how it transfers load between spine and legs.
Legs
Alignment and movement patterns through hips, knees and ankles.
Feet
Dynamic foot pressure and loading: standing, walking, moving.
Transformative in everyday MSK healthcare.
The same DIERS technology is currently used in research projects concerned with improving knee-replacement outcomes, improving outcomes for scoliosis patients, monitoring spinal changes in young people with sedentary lifestyles, integrating postural training within professional sport, and monitoring the effect of dental work and orthotics on the whole musculoskeletal system, to name just a few.
Advanced diagnostics provide objective, scientific data which, alongside our clinical knowledge, gives us the best opportunity to get to the root of a musculoskeletal problem.
