Biomechanical movement testing
Are you looking for a more in-depth view of how you're moving?
Maybe you're training for something important and you feel like you don't move quite right?
We have the option with a few of our team to take a more in-depth look at how you move and why you move the way you do.
Chloe, Heather & Max are all qualified to look at your Biomechanics and test the way your body moves.
We assess the body as a whole rather than just focusing on one specific area, test to work out which muscles and joints are moving correctly and which are not. As part of the tests, we look at key areas like your feet, knees, hips, spine and shoulders. We also include soft tissue therapy during the appointment to maximise your results. This can range from massage and fascial release to acupuncture and stretching.
The Aim of in depth full body Biomechanics Testing
The aim of testing is to improve movement patterns rather than just reduce pain. However, as pain can be caused by faulty movement patterns, it’s quite likely that an improvement in pain levels will be noticed once you start moving better.
The Initial Consultation
Your first appointment will last 1.5 hours and during that time we’ll fully asses which parts of your body are moving correctly and which aren’t. At the end of the appointment we’ll explain our findings to you and then demonstrate some exercises you can do at home to help improve your results. These exercises could be aimed at preventing muscle spasms, increasing mobility or improving strength in certain muscles.
Ongoing Appointments
Each time you come in, we’ll assess you to check how you’re progressing. We’ll also provide you with some new exercises that you can do at home to further improve your movement patterns.
For best results, we recommend initial bi-weekly appointments. Our aim is not to keep you coming back, but to get you moving better as soon as possible and reduce your time in clinic with us!
