Biomechanical Analysis
At Lifepath Dental & Wellness , we focus on treating patients with physical ailments or injuries. It is our goal to restore patient’s mobility and functionality and promote their overall wellness.
What Is Biomechanical Analysis?
Biomechanical analysis is the study of human motions. This consists of analyzing body movement during a specific activity such as running or golfing. This examination is followed by specific treatment to free restrictions that may be a limiting factor in achieving a desired optimal movement pattern.
How Is This Analysis Performed?
- We observe a patient performing their chosen activity.
- We identify inefficiencies or restrictions in the movement pattern.
- Through the use of the appropriate soft tissue therapy (chiropractic adjustment, active release rechniques and/or activiator technique), we attempt to improve these restrictions and restore the intended optimal movement pattern.
Biomechanical analysis is extremely important for determining the causes of injuries and how we can prevent them from re-occurring.
Who Should Consider Having Biomechanical Analysis?
- Anyone who is who is looking to: Maximize performance
- Maximize the efficiency of movement
- Prevent injury due to improper mechanics
So, whether you are an elite or amateur athlete, biomechanical analysis can be a very important tool in helping you get the most from your performance and prevent injuries.
