Movement and Posture

Physiotherapists are experts in human kinesiology - the study of human movement.

With our thorough assessment we can identify any imbalances or movement patterns that may likely result in injury, pain or reduced physical performance.

Posture is determined by a number of factors including muscle strength, muscle length, bony anatomy and habit.

Contrary to what many believe, alignment cannot be achieved by a manual adjustment or manipulation.

A Smartmoves physiotherapist can help you improve posture with:

• Strength exercice

• Stretching

• Workplace setup

• Pilates

• Gym programs

• Home exercise programs

• Using foam rollers

• Taping and bracing

We are also able to help with biomechanics (the way your body moves) in sport. By assessing someones technique when performing an action eg running, tennis serve, squat, deadlift etc. We can identify ways to make you safer and more efficient to help improve performance.
