Functional Movement Assessment
As physical therapists, Foundation Physical Therapy in South Jordan is committed to getting you moving. Regardless of why you can’t move the way you want; we can tailor an effective treatment plan to restore optimal movement. Whether you can’t run because your hip hurts, can’t bend because your back hurts, can’t throw because your shoulder hurts, or can’t jump because your knee hurts, we can help.
There is always an underlying cause for your discomfort, and a thorough examination by our therapists helps us tailor a solution to help you achieve optimal wellness. Functional movement assessment helps us identify specific movement limitations and determine if weakness or tightness may be the cause.
How It Works
We start by looking at several movement patterns that assess how you move. Once we complete the assessment, the movement patterns acquired are compared against a baseline of how people should move. This helps us determine if the problem is painful or non-painful, functional or dysfunctional, so we can pinpoint problematic regions of the body.
This technique is recommended to anyone who experiences painful movement, from a professional athlete to a gardener with an aching back. Contact us at Foundation Physical Therapy for quality treatments to achieve overall wellness and optimal movement.
