PRE/POST WORKOUT, PERFORMANCE, OR ACTIVITY ASSESSMENTS
A Pre Workout, Performance, or Activity Assessment can be performed prior to initiating an activity or starting a sport to determine your baseline level of function and risk for injury. If desired, an individualized treatment program can be developed to address any areas of deficits.
A Post Workout, Performance, or Activity Assessment can be conducted at specified intervals or after completion of an activity or sports season to determine areas of focus during the offseason and reassess your risk for injury.
PERFORMANCE/VIDEO ANALYSIS
A Performance Analysis is simply a way of evaluating your specific movement patterns or mechanics while performing certain activities (jumping, walking, running, squatting) to identify areas of deficits, potential injury, safety concerns, and/or rehabilitation and training needs.
A Video Analysis looks at your performance of activities from different angles and at slower speeds, if needed. The video is unloaded to computer software where movement is able to be analyzed frame by frame to identify abnormal and asymmetrical movement. The information gained can be used to improve overall performance, efficiency, and help prevent injuries.
*Video Analysis includes walking and running over treadmill. This is usually done in at least 2 sessions in order to properly analyze video and provide feedback. Ask about what other activities be available for video analysis.
