Comprehensive movement exam

At Movemetrics, we believe that optimal movement is the cornerstone for sustaining a well-balanced life, improving performance, and minimizing the likelihood of injury. We perform movement assessment and screening to provide valuable insights into your movement patterns, imbalances, and compensations. This proactive approach allows for early intervention, personalized care, and the development of targeted strategies to optimize movement, health, and performance. 

1. Identification of Imbalances and Asymmetries:

Our movement assessment and screening tools allows our professionals to identify imbalances and asymmetries in your musculoskeletal system. Recognizing these discrepancies early on enables targeted interventions to address weaknesses and promote symmetry, reducing the risk of overuse injuries and chronic conditions.

2. Prevention of Compensation Patterns:

Individuals often unknowingly develop compensation patterns to navigate through areas of weakness or pain. Our movement exam helps uncover these compensations, allowing us to develop corrective strategies for you to implement into your daily life. By addressing compensation patterns, the risk of injury is mitigated, and movement efficiency is improved.

3. Enhanced Performance Optimization:

Understanding an individual's movement capabilities facilitates the development of personalized training programs. We utilize our findings with your assessment and screening to tailor exercises to address specific movement limitations, optimize performance, and ensure that athletes and individuals move efficiently and effectively in their chosen activities.

4. Early Detection of Mobility and Stability Issues:

Movement assessments can reveal limitations in mobility and stability. Early detection of these issues allows for targeted interventions to improve joint mobility and stability, reducing the likelihood of injuries associated with restricted movement or poor stability.

5. Personalized Injury Prevention Programs:

Armed with insights from your movement assessments, our professionals can design personalized injury prevention programs. These programs include exercises and interventions aimed at reinforcing weak areas, improving flexibility, and promoting overall movement quality to prevent injuries before they occur.

6. Risk Stratification and Individualized Care:

Not all individuals have the same movement patterns or injury risks. Our movement assessments help in stratifying individuals based on their risk profiles. This allows for the customization of interventions and care plans, ensuring that individuals with higher injury risks receive targeted attention and preventive measures.

7. Improved Training Progression:

Our movement examination guides the progression of training programs by providing a baseline for an individual's capabilities. This ensures that the intensity and complexity of exercises are gradually increased in a manner that aligns with the individual's movement proficiency, reducing the risk of pushing too hard, too soon.

8. Enhanced Athlete Longevity:

For athletes, movement assessments contribute to longevity in their chosen sports. By addressing movement limitations and imbalances early on, athletes can sustain their performance over the long term, reducing the likelihood of career-limiting injuries and supporting a more extended and fulfilling athletic journey.

9. Educational Empowerment:

Our movement assessments empower individuals with knowledge about their bodies. Understanding your movement patterns fosters a sense of responsibility for your health, and encourages you to actively participate in injury prevention strategies, make informed lifestyle choices, and seek timely professional guidance when needed.

Our movement assessment and screening plays a pivotal role in decreasing the risk of injury by providing valuable insights into your movement patterns. This proactive approach allows for early intervention, personalized care, and the development of targeted strategies to optimize movement, ultimately promoting overall health and well-being.
