What is it?

A biomechanical assessment of normal movement patterns and the relationship that a certain part of the body or joint can have on another.  For example, someone with flat feet may develop knee and/or back pain because of the abnormal movement patterns in the feet.

At Physioworks Physiotherapy we use Silicon Coach Software- the latest injury prevention/sports coaching software.  Video analysis provides a visual feedback giving the patient a better understanding of specific problems and techniques and is able to assist with accurate diagnosis.
 
Basic Assessment: The assessment is carried out by a Chartered Physiotherapist and takes 30 minutes and includes the filming and verbal feedback identifying problem areas. Cost: £48

Full Assessment: A full video movement analysis assessment will consist of a 1 hour session with a Chartered Physiotherapist identifying problems, correcting technique, suggested exercises and preventative advice. Included in this session is a CD of your assessment. Cost: £96

What conditions is it used for?

Following injury, a biomechanical assessment is necessary to evaluate the effect of faulty movement patterns and to assess whether they are the cause of injury
