Movement Analysis
“Are you in pain because you are moving poorly?, or are you moving poorly because you are in pain?”
​
Understanding the biomechanics and loading of each element during
movement is helpful for making decisions about treatment and evaluating treatment effects. Human movement is achieved through a highly coordinated interaction of the elements of the Musculoskeletal MSK system.
​
Any injury to, or dysfunction of the MSK system will change this interaction and cause degradation, instability or disability of movement.
​
​
Improper movement technique or weakness of the stabilizing muscles
surrounding a joint can cause issues with the mapping of a movement causing undue stress to an area causing pain.
Once we understand what is going on with incorrect movement and
incorporate a rehabilitation plan to address these issues we can then begin to move forward with recovery and injury prevention and enhancing performance.
