Unlocking the Secrets of Movement and Performance
Discover the Science Behind Movement at Prevail Physical Therapy Services
Are you struggling with unexplained pain or performance limitations? At Prevail Physical Therapy Services, we offer advanced Biomechanical Analysis to uncover the “how” and “why” behind your movements and identify the root causes of injuries and performance challenges. Our cutting-edge technology and specialized training set us apart, allowing us to provide a comprehensive and precise assessment of your movement patterns.
Biomechanical Analysis involves a detailed study of movement and force, using sophisticated tools and techniques that are rarely accessible to the public. This scientific approach helps us link multiple problem areas and develop highly targeted treatment strategies. Whether you’re an athlete, a recreational runner, or someone experiencing everyday discomfort, our analysis can provide valuable insights into your unique movement patterns.
Explore P.E.A.R.L. Performance Lab at Prevail Physical Therapy Services
At the heart of our Biomechanical Analysis is the P.E.A.R.L. (Performance Enhancement and Rehab Lab), a collection of specialized tools and methods designed to perform legitimate biomechanical analysis of your movement. Our clinicians have extensive training and experience in conducting tests, evaluating data, identifying and prioritizing problems, and providing corrective strategies.
This service is suitable for all ages and abilities and can be creatively adapted to a wide variety of movement studies, including:
- Walking/Running Analysis
- Athletic Movement Analysis
- Cycling Analysis and Bike Fitting
- Custom Orthotic Prescription Rationale
- Identifying Loading Patterns for Joint Health
- Repetitive Stress Injuries and More
P.E.A.R.L. is often integrated into our physical therapy services, which may be covered by your health insurance. Contact us to learn more about how this advanced analysis can benefit you.
Book a Lab Session with Our Experts
We also offer Lab sessions, which are dedicated blocks of time for customized evaluation, data collection, and analysis. These sessions typically last 3-5 hours and can be spread over several days, though the first 2-3 hours are most effective if completed in one block. Lab sessions are ideal for studying any movement or posture-related issue but are particularly beneficial for:
- Running Analysis
- Cycling Analysis and Bike Fitting
- Athletic Movement Analysis
- Injury and Return-To-Sport Screening
Our P.E.A.R.L. Tools Include:
Video Analysis
We capture high-speed recordings of running, sports, or other movements from up to 20 different angles. These recordings are analyzed frame-by-frame by a specialist alongside you, assessing movement form, symmetry, timing, mobility, and neuromuscular control. This analysis helps identify injury causes and opportunities for performance improvement, leading to highly customized corrective strategies.
Functional Muscle Electromyography (sEMG)
Muscle activation and control during functional movement are often the root causes of injuries or impaired performance. Our sEMG system measures the activation of up to eight muscles simultaneously during movement, providing detailed insights into muscle firing quantity, quality, timing, and patterns. This data helps identify “areas of opportunity” and is used to provide immediate feedback during corrective exercises, ensuring desired neuroplastic changes are occurring.
Pedobarography
Using in-shoe insole sensors, we measure the forces between your foot and the ground while running or performing other movements. This data quantifies impact, loading rates at the heel, midfoot, and forefoot, pronation/supination quantity and velocity, balance, pressure, and more. This analysis provides incredible insight into the causes of dysfunction in the foot and leg and aids in creating and assessing optimal orthotic benefits.
At Prevail Physical Therapy Services, we are dedicated to helping you move better and feel better. Our comprehensive Biomechanical Analysis can unlock the secrets of your movement and provide the guidance you need to overcome limitations and achieve your best performance.
