Biomechanical Approach Explained
Often our body has adopted certain habitual patterns of movement, which make it harder to free up other movements. When you address the restriction, or the area causing the problem, the ability to release those unwanted niggles or to progress in your training becomes possible. Through this the body becomes more efficient.
What is Biomechanical Approach?
Ever had a pain or an ache that never fully resolves, even though Physio in the past may have got you through the acute stage, it continues to niggle?
or

What to Expect from the Biomechanical Approach?
Firstly a postural assessment is completed by the Physiotherapist to identify what is influencing the problem. Specific tests are carried out to highlight tight areas in the body or areas that are not moving properly. When the dysfunction is diagnosed then a treatment plan is put together to release the restricted areas often through hands on therapy or specific tailored exercises dependent on your needs.
The aim is to enable freer movement and for you to be able to achieve this movement independently so you can stabilise and strengthen your own body.
Although there is a big emphasis on posture and alignment it also requires a trained eye and hands on therapy. An assessment will last between 60-90 minutes dependent on complexity.
