Plenty of specialist running shops and sports physios round my way offer gait analysis, in various depths of discovery. Its a matter of how much you are willing to pay, depending on how much they have invested in the tech*.
So do a little research into the machines available, and then who is using what round your way.
The tech varies from simple treadmills with pressure point analysis, to pressure with full blown 3d movement analysis.
It should also be said that a good physio can make some great diagnosis, just by looking at you standing and walking. expect to pay 50 to 100 quid for that and an exercise regime. My wife physio had me good enough to compete at a dog show final 6 weeks after my broken hip/implant.
You could also try pilates - which has the advantage of seeing lots of bendy ladies.
As an interesting aside, an acquaintance of mine was doing a course in dog gait analysis, and she could pick some dogs for her course subjects, so she had my older girl. A specialist machine in an equine vets out Newbury way was chosen, the dog had infrared/laser receptors place on strategic skeletal joints, and it was 3d scanned standing, sitting, - walking and running on a treadmill with pressure sensing. It also has the advantage that she was fit, and we now have a baseline to compare for the future.
I have had PF - left foot. Orthotics fixed it, and then careful choice of shoes with good arch support since has kept it at bay. Hotters / Eccos mostly.
