Functional Movement Training
Functional Movement Training
At Brain Health D.C., we believe that functional movement is the foundation of a healthy, active lifestyle. Functional movement refers to the body’s ability to perform natural, real-world actions with efficiency and ease. This type of movement is crucial for everything from daily activities like walking and lifting to athletic performance. Our Functional Movement services are designed to assess, train, and improve the way your body moves in everyday life, ensuring that you can perform tasks safely and effectively while minimizing the risk of injury.
Functional Movement Assessment
The Functional Movement Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that identifies movement patterns, strengths, and weaknesses in your body mechanics. During this assessment, we analyze your posture, alignment, and the way your body moves during specific activities. The goal is to detect any imbalances, restrictions, or compensations that could lead to injury or hinder performance.
Based on the results of your assessment, we develop a personalized plan that targets your unique needs. This plan may include corrective exercises, strength training, flexibility work, and movement re-education, all aimed at improving your overall functional movement and ensuring that your body is moving as efficiently as possible.
Fall Risk Assessment
Our Fall Risk Assessment is particularly valuable for older adults or individuals with balance and stability concerns. Falls are a leading cause of injury, especially among seniors, and the risk increases with age or certain health conditions. This assessment evaluates your balance, gait, strength, and overall mobility to determine your risk of falling.
After completing the assessment, we provide you with a customized plan that may include balance training, strength exercises, and other interventions designed to enhance your stability and reduce the risk of falls. Our goal is to help you maintain independence and confidence in your daily movements.
If you’re looking to enhance your daily movement, reduce your risk of injury, or simply move more efficiently, our Functional Movement services can help. Contact Brain Health D.C. to schedule an assessment and start your journey toward better movement and improved quality of life.
