Movement Assessment

Movement Health

Be free to move the way you want!

Have you ever thought about how you move?

No? Why would you, we just do it- it is part of daily life…

Movement is something we do everyday- walking, doing house work, playing sports, even sitting at a computer we’re moving BUT how well?

Most people aren’t aware of how they move, and how poor movement affects their body. At The Physio Clinic Bristol, we can help you move better, decrease your injury rate and make you perform better in your daily activities or sport.

What is Movement Health?

Movement Health looks at how we move and how we can improve movement and perform better in daily life and activity. Movement impairments affect our muscloskeletal system (muscle, tendons, bones) and repeated movements cause overloading of these structures leading to pain, injury and decreased performance in daily activities and sports.

We use a system of identification and re-training to then help you move better, perform better and reduce your risk of injury.

Assessment- our skilled Movement Specialists will take you through a battery of tests, looking at how you move, how you cheat in your movement patterns and identify your weaknesses and restrictions

Analyse- after completing the Movement Testing, our skilled Movement Specialist will analyse and discuss your findings with you and produce a structured re-training plan consisting of exercises and advice.

Re-training- we work with you over a series of sessions to activate and recruit muscles to get stronger, reduce restrictions to improve mobility and improve your brain and help you use your strength and flexibility to better improve your movement and enhance performance.

We believe in quality and not quantity of exercises, so you will never be given more than 6 exercises in any re-training programme.
