Biomechanical analysis is valuable for athletes of all levels. Beginners can establish proper technique from the start, avoiding development of bad habits. Intermediate athletes often use analysis to break through performance plateaus. Elite athletes use it to fine-tune their technique for maximum efficiency and performance. The service is particularly beneficial for anyone dealing with recurring injuries, experiencing pain during activity, or noticing asymmetries in their movement.

Please come dressed in form-fitting athletic clothing that allows clear visibility of your joints and movement patterns. For running analysis, bring the running shoes you typically train in. For cycling analysis, bring your bike if possible. Arrive well-rested without having done intense exercise in the 24 hours prior, as fatigue can affect your normal movement patterns. Be prepared to move at various intensities during the session.

Timeline for improvements varies depending on the extent of the changes needed and your consistency with the corrective exercises. Some athletes feel immediate benefits from simple adjustments during the session itself. For more substantial technique changes, expect a 4-8 week process of consciously implementing the new patterns. Neurological adaptation to new movement patterns typically takes consistent practice over time, but most clients report noticeable improvements within 2-3 weeks of following their corrective program.

Yes, biomechanical analysis is particularly valuable for addressing recurring injuries. Many persistent injuries in endurance athletes stem from suboptimal movement patterns that place excessive stress on certain tissues. Our analysis can identify these problematic patterns and provide targeted corrections. While we work closely with physiotherapists and sports medicine doctors, our analysis focuses specifically on the technical aspects of your sport movements rather than clinical diagnosis. For best results, we recommend combining our biomechanical approach with appropriate medical care for existing injuries.

For most athletes, we recommend an initial comprehensive analysis followed by a follow-up session after 2-3 months to assess progress and refine technique further. After that, annual check-ups are typically sufficient unless you experience changes in your movement (due to injury, significant weight change, or new equipment). If you're working through significant technique changes or rehabilitating from injury, more frequent analysis (every 4-6 weeks) may be beneficial during that period.
