Biomechanics
Biomechanics

Biomechanics is the science of structure and function of the human body. Our physiotherapists at The Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Clinic are expert in the observation of how a body moves and where the potential problems lie. We can advise you on the measures to take which will help you achieve an efficient structure and an effectively functioning body.
Postural Alignment

Postural alignment may be altered for many reasons including habit and injury. At the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Clinic we can demonstrate the benefits of good posture and provide you with exercises to strengthen weaker muscles and relax tight muscles, giving you appropriate cues to achieve a more upright and open posture.
Biomechanical Assessments and Injury Prevention

Your body requires a combination of strength and mobility for ease of movement. If a muscle becomes too tight or too long, too weak or too strong, or a joint becomes too loose or too stiff in relation to the structures surrounding it, then compensatory movement patterns will be established resulting in imbalances which may increase the potential for injury and pain. Postural advice is of huge importance to young and old alike, particularly when so many people spend so long bent over various pieces of electronic equipment. Small adjustments can make a huge difference to levels of comfort, not to mention strength and function. At The Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Clinic we are skilled in assessing function and movement. By assessing how you move and hold your body, we will be able to advise you on stretches and exercises to mobilise and strengthen appropriate areas. In addition, we can utilise techniques such as Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Technique, a system of precise movements, to encourage correct sequencing of functional movement patterns to get you moving in a strong and mobile way. We have many years of experience of treating the results of trauma and injury, and are well placed to be able to give advice on how you can get the most from your body without injury. We are also able to give advice on appropriate equipment, whether for your sport, your workplace or your home life; training routines if you are taking up a new activity; postural correction, and gait analysis.
