BIOMECHANICAL ASSESSMENT & MOVEMENT SCREENING

Biomechanical assessment and movement screening helps identify movement limitations, muscular imbalances, and risk factors before they lead to injury. At R3 Physical Therapy, you receive one-on-one evaluation with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, using evidence-based methods to analyze how your body moves during daily activities, exercise, or sport. This allows us to create a personalized plan to optimize performance, prevent injuries, and address issues that arise during recovery from injury or surgery.

GOALS OF BIOMECHANICAL ASSESSMENT & MOVEMENT SCREENING

  • Identify movement limitations, asymmetries, or faulty mechanics

  • Detect muscular imbalances and weaknesses

  • Assess joint mobility, stability, and coordination

  • Reduce injury risk in healthy athletes through proactive assessment

  • Address issues while recovering from injury or surgery

  • Enhance performance through optimized movement patterns

  • Provide individualized recommendations for exercise, rehab, or training

  • Support safe return-to-sport or return-to-activity programs

WHAT  TO EXPECT IN YOUR SESSIONS

Each assessment is tailored to your unique movement patterns, sport, or activity level. Your session begins with an initial evaluation, where your Doctor of Physical Therapy observes, tests, and analyzes your movement using evidence-based techniques. This assessment provides detailed insights into your biomechanics, identifying areas that need improvement or protection.

Typical sessions may include:
✔  Postural and movement analysis to identify asymmetries or faulty mechanics
✔  Joint mobility and flexibility testing
✔  Strength, stability, and balance assessments
✔  Functional movement tests such as squats, lunges, jumps, and sport-specific drills
✔  Dynamic assessments for agility, coordination, and power
✔  Personalized recommendations and corrective strategies
✔  Education on safe and effective movement strategies

​

All sessions are 1:1, ensuring detailed attention, hands-on guidance, and individualized instruction.
