Healing from an injury is not just about plugging in general exercises for the pain point. If this were the case, you could cure all with a quick internet search. Your biomechanics, which is how your joints move and your body absorbs and generates force, plays an important role in how you accomplish activities from small everyday movements to complex movements in sports. Strength and mobility exercises are limited by the underlying biomechanics used to accomplish them.

If you are constantly in a cycle of injury - rest - stretch/strengthen - start activity again - re-injury, then you likely have a biomechanics problem. In other words, your movement pattern is causing you to absorb and produce force in a way that may be causing pain and is inefficient.
We at Move Smart in Lexington, KY look not only at your strength and mobility but also at how you are moving. We use our evaluation and ongoing visits to continue working to improve your movement patterns as we improve strength and mobility. This is why we are able to get people moving and performing better than ever. We can optimize movement to allow for healing, prevent future injury, and improve performance.
Gathering information about your own body is always helpful. Identifying mistakes you are making and ways you are unintentionally injuring yourself can help you further your own wellness goals and avoid future injuries.
Movement analysis and biomechanics services make all of this possible. Move Smart offers these services and makes recommendations based on our findings.
Movement Analysis and Biomechanics Services
Movement analysis and biomechanics services are a grouping of services that examine and evaluate the way your body moves.
Move Smart provides these services in tandem with a range of other physical therapy services to create custom programs based on our patients’ needs. You may be in need of corrective exercise programs based on your biomechanics. In these cases and many more, movement analysis and biomechanics services can help.
What Are the Benefits of Biomechanics and Movement Analysis?
The benefits of movement analysis and biomechanics services are significant. However, the exact nature of the benefits will vary depending on the individual.
For example, a biomechanical evaluation for athletes will open up new opportunities to improve their performance. Meanwhile, an evaluation for someone dealing with chronic pain will help them relieve that pain.
Sports Performance
Sports is a field of precision. A wrong movement or a combination of improper moments can make the difference between a win and a loss.
By identifying and eliminating problems like these, improving sports performance with movement analysis is possible. With these tools, athletes can perform better than ever.
Pain Relief
You may not realize it, but the way you move may be causing you pain. However, this doesn’t have to be the case.
A 3D gait analysis and biomechanical assessment identifies ways your movements are causing you pain. With these movements identified, we can help retrain your body to avoid them and, in doing so, achieve a greater level of pain relief.
Injury Prevention
Often, injuries are the result of improper movements. These may happen in a single movement or build up over time as a result of constant stress.
In either case, eliminating the problem helps control the injury. Preventing movement dysfunction with biomechanics reduces the risk of future injuries.
