Functional Assessment?
What does it include?
A functional assessment is a comprehensive evaluation designed to understand your current level of movement and identify any limitations that might be affecting your daily activities, hobbies, or athletic performance.
It goes beyond a traditional physical exam by focusing on how your body performs real-world tasks.
Detailed History:
We'll discuss your medical history, current concerns, lifestyle habits, and specific goals you want to achieve.
Movement Analysis:
We observe your posture, gait, flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination through various tests and exercises.
Identifying Limitations:
We'll pinpoint any movement restrictions, weaknesses, or imbalances that might be hindering your progress.
Personalised Recommendations:
Based on the assessment, we'll develop a tailored plan to address your limitations and improve your overall function.
This may include biokinetic exercises, corrective strategies, injury prevention techniques, or referrals to other healthcare professionals like The Balance Group Physiotherapy for further support.

Goal Achievement:
