Functional Movement, Orthopedic, and Neurological Assessments
Understand Your Movement. Build a Better Plan.
Understanding how your body moves is the first step toward lasting results. At Empower Sport and Spine, we take a thorough, thoughtful approach to evaluating your movement so we can identify the true source of pain or dysfunction, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Our movement assessments combine functional movement analysis, orthopedic testing, and neurological screening to give you a full picture of what’s going on, and what to do next.
🚶🏻♂️ Functional Movement Assessment:
We observe how you move during key activities to uncover movement habits or limitations that may be contributing to pain or limiting performance. Even if you're not currently injured, this gives us a valuable baseline to track progress and catch early signs of altered or limited movement.
🩺 Orthopedic Evaluation:
We assess muscles, joints, and soft tissues to better understand the mechanical causes of discomfort. This step also confirms whether your condition is appropriate for conservative, movement-based care — or if other interventions may be needed.
🧠 Neurological Screening:
We check for nerve involvement and rule out more serious conditions. This ensures it's safe to begin treatment, and, if needed, helps us refer you to a medical provider who can take the next step.
By combining these assessment methods, we build a clear and accurate picture of how your body is functioning, and where it needs support.
Whether you're dealing with pain, recovering from injury, or optimizing performance, this is where your rehab journey begins.
