Welcome to Elevate Physical Therapy, where we believe in a comprehensive approach to your well-being. One key element of our personalized care is the Movement Assessment—a fundamental tool that guides our treatment plans and helps us unlock the path to your optimal health.
A Movement Assessment is a thorough evaluation that goes beyond merely identifying symptoms; it delves into understanding how your body moves as a whole. Our skilled physical therapist conducts a series of tests and observations to assess joint mobility, muscle strength, flexibility, and overall movement patterns.
Understanding how your body moves allows us to pinpoint any imbalances, weaknesses, or restrictions that may contribute to pain, discomfort, or limited functionality. By examining your movement patterns, we gain valuable insights into the root causes of your condition rather than just addressing the symptoms.
♦ Initial Consultation: We begin with a detailed conversation about your medical history, lifestyle, and specific concerns.
♦ Functional Testing: Our physical therapist conducts a series of tests and movements to evaluate your body’s response, looking at how different parts work together.
♦ Joint Mobility Assessment: We assess the range of motion in key joints to identify any restrictions that may affect your movement.
♦ Muscle Strength and Flexibility: We evaluate the strength and flexibility of specific muscle groups, identifying areas that may need targeted attention.
♦ Movement Patterns: Observing how you perform fundamental movements—such as walking, squatting, or reaching—helps us understand how your body functions in real-world scenarios.
♦ Customized Treatment Plans: With a clear understanding of your movement patterns, we create personalized treatment plans that address your specific needs and goals.
♦ Prevention: Identifying potential issues before they become major concerns allows for proactive and preventive interventions.
♦ Optimized Performance: For athletes or those looking to enhance their physical capabilities, a Movement Assessment can uncover areas for improvement, helping to optimize performance.
