Selective Functional Movement Assessment
Unfortunately, some trauma cannot be avoided. Consequently, it is not uncommon for individuals who live an active lifestyle to sustain an Orthopedic and/or Sport-related injury at some point. However, the majority of injuries occur due to static positions or repeated movements that are performed incorrectly. Each movement has an appropriate and inappropriate motion. Once our clients complete their sessions, they walk away with the tools they need to move appropriately and continue living the active, pain-free lifestyle they love.
Assessing Mobility, Stability and Strength
Recognizing and correcting improper movements requires a comprehensive evaluation designed to find out what actions are causing an individual’s pain. At [Name], we take the …show more content…
This dysfunction frequently leads to pain, which is caused by overuse, imbalance and the overloading of tissues. On many occasions, the pain clients experience is not related to the area where the pain exists, but merely a result of the dysfunction. Using the NeuroKinetic Therapy technique, we can manually test the client’s muscles to identify and then address the compensation patterns that are causing his or her other muscles to become overactive, and work harder, which is what leads to the pain.
Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA)
We use SFMA to clinically assess seven fundamental movement patterns. This assessment method provides an efficient way to systematically locate the cause of a client’s symptoms, not just by the source, but by breaking down dysfunctional patterns and diagnosing whether the root of the problem is related to the client’s mobility or stability/motor control.
The McKenzie Method
The McKenzie Method is widely recommended as the first choice for common neck and back problems. An applied force is usually responsible for low back pain. The basic philosophy of this theory is that a client’s pain can be eliminated and his or her function can be restored by using a reverse force to counteract the applied force that is responsible for the
