Understanding How You Stand, Sit and Move
We don’t just look at where you feel pain as this does not always indicate where the issue is. In a biomechanical assessment we look at your postural alignment and movement patterns i.e the mechanisms of how your body moves. his can help us to better identify the root cause of pain, injury or inefficient performance. This can make the difference between short term relief and longer lasting changes.
Postural assessment: Analysing your posture in standing, sitting at your desk or in your car. For example, teaching someone how to ‘stand or sit up straight’ can make an immediate difference in function.
Gait analysis: analysis of how you walk or run. For example ‘flat feet’ can often lead to knee, hip and low back pain. Therefore, we would look at how to strengthen the foot which could help to reduce pain in the knee.
Functional stability: assessing core stability and how this relates to functional movements. This may be sports specific movements or just normal activities like washing up or sitting to standing. Core stability exercises are not just doing the ‘plank’.
Balance assessment: Good balance is key to optimising function. From helping to prevent falls, accelerating recovery from injury or improving sport specific performance. Balance can be trained and vastly improved through specific exercises. Failure to assess this is often the missing link to optimal recovery.
