Bio-mechanical Assessment

The physiotherapist will look at the alignment of structures, your muscle strength and weakness than can lead to poor adaptation of forces when you are weight bearing in sitting, standing or walking. These adaptations with time can create pain and muscle/ joint compensations that can lead to injuries, weakness and poor alignment and balance.

The initial assessment is a 1-hour consultation with a physiotherapist which will consist of:

• • Brief history of your general health and goals
  • Postural Assessment
  • Dynamic tests for core, balance, joint mobility flexibility and strength.
  • Gait assessment on the footscan plate.
  • Design of Custom-made 3D printed orthotics, if required.
• Physiotherapy plan and recommendations.

After having the assessment, you will receive a copy of the tests and plan discussed. We also offer to continue with MSK and physiotherapy services if you would like to continue with the treatment to correct these issues.

If further referral to a specialist is needed, we can refer to one of our MSK specialists on the field or to other healthcare professionals if required.
