Movement analysis is one of the most valuable tools physical therapists bring to patient care. PTs watch movement differently than most people.
How you walk.
How you squat.
How you balance.
How you compensate when something hurts.
Movement patterns often reveal issues long before someone completely stops exercising or changes their lifestyle around pain.
That’s why PTs evaluate much more than the body part that hurts.
Movement analysis helps identify:
• mobility restrictions
• weakness
• compensation patterns
• balance deficits
• and inefficient movement habits
The body gives clues constantly.
Physical therapists are trained to look for them.
What’s something your body has been trying to tell you lately?
