Deep dives

Biomechanics as a Problem-Solving Tool

Biomechanics is highlighted as an essential tool for addressing movement problems, particularly in athletes. Unlike working with the general population, athletes often exhibit well-defined movement patterns, making it easier to analyze and improve their performance. By understanding the body's capabilities at a neurological and joint mechanics level, one can return athletes to optimal function after injury. This principles-based approach is valuable not only for elite athletes but also for the general public seeking to enhance their movement quality.
