Biomechanical Assessment

A biomechanical assessment involves applying mechanical principles to the body.  What does that mean?  Basically it means looking for any areas of the body that may not be working 100% effectively and efficiently and then putting measures in place to correct them.  It may be that certain areas of the body are tight, weak, working too hard, worn out or lazy.  We look at things like your postural alignment, range of movement, flexibility, muscle power and control and identify potential issues before they become a problem.

What are the benefits?

The aim is to get the body working as well as possible to reduce the chance of injury and any aches or pains.  This can also have the effect of helping you ski or snowboard better as any imbalances or restrictions have been corrected.  Following your assessment an exercise programme will be put together helping you address the identified areas.

Who is it for?

Everyone!  If you are struggling to progress your skiing despite good instruction, it may be that your body is holding you back and is unable to do what you ask of it.  Biomechanical assessment will help.  Do you feel aches and pains after a day on the slopes? Your body may not be working as efficiently as it could be due to biomechanical factors – an assessment will help.
