Identifying Ways To Make You Move And Play Better:

Movement Analysis

We can analyze the way you move, whether that be run, jump, squat, press, lift, etc. At GOfit physical therapy we have training that goes above and beyond our peers.

We are trained to assess motion symmetry, coordination, range or motion, and movement patterns.  With the help of some simple videos of technique we can break down poor movement patterns and work to make them more functional.

Biomechanical Assessment

Movement analysis will help us hone in and identify specific areas of your body with dysfunctional pattern.

Once those areas have been identified we can dive deeper with a biomechanical assessment of the joints in the area to determine if limited or excessive mobility is causing local break down or compensations through the kinetic chain. 

If joint dysfunction is identified we can use manual therapy techniques to improve this joint motion and get you moving better again.

 

Myofascial Assessment

Myofascial restrictions or myofascial trigger points may be limiting your mobility and strength. We can assess for this through some quick tests and reduce myofascial trigger points through manual therapy and dry needling.

Neuromuscular Control

Biomechanics and myofascial tightness may not be the cause of movement asymmetry, it could be poor neuromuscular control.

We can test key muscles and functional movement patterns to determine if this is the cause of your movement problems. If it is, we have a number of ways to improve this through specific exercise and neuromuscular re-education. 

Once you move better, you will play better!
