Understanding Functional Movement
Functional movement refers to how your body performs everyday and sport-specific movements such as squatting, lunging, bending, and reaching.
Common issues we identify:
• Muscle imbalances and compensations
• Limited flexibility and joint mobility
• Core weakness and poor stability
• Asymmetries between left and right sides
• Movement patterns that increase injury risk
• Postural dysfunctions
Our physiotherapists use standardized movement screens and detailed analysis to identify your specific limitations and create a plan to address them.

How Our Functional Movement Assessment Works
Our functional movement assessment uses a series of standardized tests and observations to evaluate how your body moves and identify areas for improvement.
Our assessment includes:
• Movement Screening: Standardized tests such as the overhead squat, hurdle step, and inline lunge to evaluate movement quality and identify compensations.
• Mobility Testing: Assessment of joint range of motion and muscle flexibility to identify restrictions that affect movement.
• Stability Assessment: Evaluation of core and joint stability to identify weaknesses that contribute to poor movement patterns.
• Performance Testing: Sport or activity-specific movement analysis to identify limitations that affect your performance.
We create a personalized improvement plan based on your assessment results.
