Has
your body had a yearly review?
A long term investment in your body is a wise and beneficial move.
As they say, Prevention is better than cure.
Our body has to cope with many stresses during its life, particularly
with the chaotic lifestyles most of us now lead. With this assessment
you can observe how your body is changing over time and learn to
accommodate for such changes through simple exercises. Therefore
you will be able to address them before they become detrimental
to your well being. During this past year you have probably taken
your car in to be serviced, been to the dentist, renewed your gym
membership and arranged a new workout programme, you may well have
even had a medical check your heart and lungs. So why leave the
rest of your body to chance?
What is a Screening Assessment?
This is an assessment carried our by a chartered physiotherapist
with a view to prevention of problems. The therapist will go through
a detailed investigation of your bodys biomechanics. Such
as:
- Previous Injuries
- Postural Assessment
- Gait Analysis
- Movement Analysis
- Sports/Hobbies/Work
Then this will be incorporated into a review of your active range
of movement for all your major joints and testing the length and
strength of your major muscle groups, along with a check of your
neural components (nerve mobility). Lastly there will be an investigation
of your stabilizing muscle groups, therefore allowing a greater
understanding of your core stability.
Why have a Screening Assessment?
The
assessment itself is a new concept being started at Body Logic.
It has been devised to help improve clients understanding of their
body and improve postural and biomechanical awareness.
Appointments
The consultation will be 60 minutes in total for the full assessment.
We can specify areas that need to be concentrated on and give you
advice and exercises. Your therapist will discuss in full detail
all the findings and the course of action that should be considered.
The idea would be to return in twelve months for a review appointment
or check problem regions and pick up any new changes in how
your body is functioning.
