Movement Assessment

At Focus Bodywork, our Movement Assessment service is a cornerstone of our holistic approach to pain relief and performance enhancement. Before we even begin any manual therapy, our experienced therapists conduct a comprehensive analysis of your body's movement patterns. This isn't just about identifying where you feel pain; it's about understanding why you're experiencing it. We observe how you walk, stand, sit, and perform specific movements relevant to your daily activities or athletic pursuits.

Using a systematic process, we pinpoint areas of asymmetry, weakness, imbalance, or compensatory patterns that may be contributing to your discomfort or limiting your potential. This assessment helps us uncover the root causes of musculoskeletal issues, which are often located far from the site of pain. For example, knee pain might be originating from restrictions in the hip or ankle. By identifying these underlying dysfunctions, we can tailor a truly personalized treatment plan that combines targeted manual therapy with specific corrective exercises. Our Movement Assessment empowers you with a deeper understanding of your body, providing the insights needed to not only alleviate current pain but also prevent future injuries and optimize your overall movement efficiency.
