Biomechanical Analysis for Rehabilitation

The Biomechanical Analysis can serve either as purely a performance indicator after injury or surgery or often it is used in conjunction with our treatment and rehabilitation to ensure that there is a compete recovery from injury and a reduction in risk of further injury due to poor/inefficient technique.

Running Form, Technique and Efficiency Assessment

Balanced biomechanics, form, and technique are key factors to running faster, more efficiently, and injury-free. Correct running form ensures that we create and maintain linear momentum, reduce joint impact, minimize energy loss and maximize efficiency and economy.

Many of us have never been taught how to run. We think its something that we pick-up naturally and we don’t realise until the pain begins that we are actually running inefficiently which can lead to injuries.

After injury or surgery the biomechanics of how we move changes , and if not corrected and addressed this can lead to further injury.

How can we help you?

When you come in for a biomechanical analysis we analyse your walking, running, and motor mechanics based on what you want to achieve. We analyse your body position and look at the history of injury if any, or muscle imbalances, look at your functional strength and your range of motion. All of this is done with the aid of video analysis. This highlights to us areas of weakness, incorrect technique, differences in stride length or frequency and other weaknesses, that may contribute to the development of injury and or deficits in performance. We will take you through your technique in slow motion and point out any changes that need to be corrected.
We then give you advice and recommendations on how to correct any weaknesses and we introduce exercises that will address incorrect technique improve efficiency, comfort and strength while walking or running.
