After your deep dive call you deserve a Performance and Strength Evaluation

Our thorough evaluation process identifies the root cause of your pain through movement. This information is then used to create a personalized plan to alleviate your current pain and prevent future reoccurrence.

Our full comprehensive evaluation includes a review of your health history and lifestyle, relevant assessments, goal-setting, and collaborative development of a treatment plan that’s specifically tailored to your unique needs.

To help you recover and feel your best, we use top-of-the-line equipment and technology during your rehab journey. This allows for the identification of your strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots, and the creation of a custom rehab plan that relieves pain and back to feeling your best.

Performance and Strength Evaluation

A part of the Myofunction Movement evaluation is strength testing, which during your injury prevention or rehab is a must! It eliminates guesswork and provides useful information on how an individual is progressing.

By using the AxIT system we can measure maximal strength and how quickly can you produce it during movement.

Comparing results can help us identify any muscular imbalances or movement deficiencies that maybe causing you limitations.

We then write you an exercise program addressing these, to not only get you back to pre-injury levels but to those beyond them.

Why do we use it?

Assess Compound movements like:

  • Squats
  • Deadlifts
  • Push up

Assess Isolation movements of the:

  • Neck & Shoulder
  • Elbow & Wrist
  • Core endurance
  • Hip & Knee
  • Ankle

How is it useful?

We can identify:

  • Strength imbalances
  • Changes in movement patterns
  • Progressions from previous testing
  • And address them in Rehab / Prehab exercise programs

Assisting you:

  • To exceed your pre-injury performance levels
  • And compare your results with in-built reference data.
  • Keeping our clients motivated with easy-to-track progress graphs to stay on with our programming to achieve great outcomes!

Goniometry

Joint by Joint Assessment

At Myofunction we blend the art and science of measuring joint ranges of each area of the body to determine your baseline movement. The instrument we use to measure your available range of motion at a joint is called a goniometer.

We use it within your full movement evaluation to measure each joint to see what is moving well and what isn’t. This ultimately sets the baseline in your movement and measurable data that can back tracked over the period of your program.

In much the same way there are ‘normal ranges’ in blood pressure, heart rate and other things, there is a normal range in movement. At Myofunction we will evaluate your movement capacity which provides an insight into what is causing your pain or impeding your overall movement.

This will assist you:

  • To exceed your pre-injury performance levels
  • Keeping our clients motivated with easy-to-track progress graphs to stay on with our programming to achieve great outcomes!

Functional Movement System

(FMS)

When it comes to functional movement screens Myofunction is the trusted name for the Brisbane residents prefer to go with. A functional movement test (FMS) is a tool utilised to find any asymmetries that can result in functional movement deficiencies. 

The FMS goal is to pinpoint imbalances in mobility and stability while performing seven fundamental movement patterns. 

This was designed and created to help clinicians and healthcare professionals to assess individuals for risk of injury and/or a dysfunctional or performance-limiting movement pattern. When these dysfunctions have been found using the FMS, a tailored program of corrective exercises is then created with the aim of preventing Musculo-skeletal injuries.

What Are The Seven Movements?

This test includes seven movements that quickly and effectively screen core strength, coordination, flexibility, and dynamic stability which includes:

  1.  Deep Squat
  2. Hurdle Step
  3. In-line Lunge
  4. Active Straight-leg Raise
  5. Trunk Stability Push-up
  6. Rotary Stability
  7. Shoulder Mobility

The seven-movement patterns are scored from 0-3 points, with the sum creating a score ranging from 0-21 points. A score of less than or equal to 14 on the FMS is used as the cut-off score. Individuals who score less than 14 points on the FMS screen have a greater risk of sustaining an injury. This is why, functional movement therapy is crucial.

This will assist you:

  • To exceed your pre-injury performance levels
  • Keeping our clients motivated with easy-to-track progress graphs to stay on with our programming to achieve great outcomes!
  • Creates injury resilience buffer zones to help you out of pain
