MOVEMENT ANALYSIS

Movement analysis plays a crucial role in both injury prevention, injury rehabilitation, and performance enhancement. By assessing and understanding how our bodies move, we can identify potential areas of weakness or imbalances that may lead to injuries or hinder optimal performance.  Imbalances can occur from stiff joints (due to tight muscles), decreased range of motion, and muscular weaknesses.  Our bodies are smart, and if one of these problems occurs, it will find a way to compensate in order to attempt to perform at full capacity.  This can usually lead to injuries in places further away from the initial onset of pain.

Movement dysfunctions can occur in various areas of the body, such as the hips, shoulders, spine, and ankles. These dysfunctions can result from factors like sedentary lifestyles, repetitive movements, previous injuries, or inadequate training techniques.
