A movement assessment is the foundation of effective therapeutic exercise. It provides valuable insights into how your body moves, identifies areas of dysfunction, and guides the creation of your personalized program.
Why Movement Assessment Matters
Everyone moves differently based on their history, injuries, lifestyle, and physical characteristics. A thorough assessment ensures your exercise program addresses your specific needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
What We Assess
1. Movement Patterns
We observe how you perform fundamental movements like squatting, lunging, pushing, and pulling. This reveals compensations and limitations that may contribute to pain or dysfunction.
2. Strength and Stability
Testing specific muscle groups helps identify imbalances that could lead to injury or limit performance.
3. Flexibility and Mobility
We assess range of motion in key joints to identify restrictions that might affect your movement quality.
4. Postural Analysis
Your posture reveals much about how you use your body daily. We look for patterns that might contribute to discomfort or dysfunction.
The Assessment Process
Your initial assessment typically takes 60-90 minutes. We'll discuss your goals, medical history, and current concerns before moving through a series of movements and tests.
After the Assessment
We'll explain our findings in clear, understandable terms and create a customized exercise program designed to address your specific needs and goals.
