MOVEMENT ANALYSIS
You Can't Fully Recover if You Can't Move Properly
Movement Analysis: FAQ
NOT ALL ISSUES ARE EASILY IDENTIFIED FROM A SPECIFIC MECHANISM OF INJURY OR SURGERY. FOR MORE CHRONIC ISSUES A MOVEMENT ANALYSIS CAN HELP DETERMINE WHAT COULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO YOUR PAIN. PHYSICAL THERAPISTS ARE MOVEMENT EXPERTS AND THIS EXPERTISE CAN BE USED TO FIND THE ABNORMALITIES IN YOUR MOVEMENT AND START CORRECTING THEM.
SOMETIMES YOU WILL DEVELOP COMPENSATIONS IN YOUR MOVEMENT BECAUSE OF PAIN, FEAR, OR FROM POST-SURGICAL PRECAUTIONS. WHILE THESE MAY NOT BE LONG TERM, THEY CAN HAVE LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES IF NOT DEALT WITH APPROPRIATELY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE LINGERING ISSUES AFTER YOUR INITIAL INJURY HAS RESOLVED.
WE CAN ANALYZE YOUR MOVEMENT TO LOOK FOR DEFICITS IN RANGE OF MOTION, FLEXIBILITY, STRENGTH, AND/OR BALANCE. ONCE WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE DEFICITS, WE CAN WORK THESE INTO YOUR PLAN OF CARE TO ADDRESS ALL OF YOUR NEEDS AT ONCE.
WHILE A GAIT ANALYSIS IS WHAT COMES TO MIND FOR MOST PEOPLE, IT IS NOT THE ONLY KIND OF MOVEMENT ANALYSIS WE DO.
GAIT IS IMPORTANT AND NEEDS TO BE ASSESSED BECAUSE MOST OF US WALK QUITE A BIT EVERY DAY. IT IS VERY COMMON TO DEVELOP CHRONIC ISSUES FROM A BAD GAIT PATTERN.
ALONG WITH GAIT, WE CAN ALSO ANALYZE JUMPING, LANDING, RUNNING, DANCING, SQUATTING, PUSH UP, OVERHEAD LIFTING, AND ANY OTHER MOVEMENT YOU NEED TO DO CORRECTLY TO MEET YOUR GOALS.
