movement assessment

At The Performance Lab, we understand that movement is key in achieving peak performance for a number of sports. That’s why we offer a comprehensive movement assessment to our Prospect and West Hartford, Connecticut clients to help analyze and target areas needing improvement. We know how important proper technique and movement is, and we're more than ready to analyze yours and offer some advice!

what does a movement assessment focus on?

Our movement assessment is focused on analyzing core strength, mobility, balance and the client’s ability to separate different parts of their body in sequence. We take a close look at the abs and glutes, as well as the neck, shoulders, mid-back rotators, low back, hamstring, calf, forearm and hip rotators. The results are then used to create a targeted sport-specific treatment strategy to address any identified areas of weakness that need to be improved upon.

WHAT IS IN A FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT SCREENING?

Functional Movement Screening (FMS) is a series of tests designed to evaluate fundamental movement patterns and identify limitations or asymmetries in your movements. At The Performance Lab, our FMS focuses on assessing key areas such as mobility, stability, and overall movement efficiency. By using FMS, we can pinpoint specific areas that may be prone to injury or that may hinder optimal performance. This comprehensive screening allows our professionals to develop personalized training and rehabilitation programs tailored to your unique needs, helping you achieve better movement quality and enhanced athletic performance.

HOW TO MEASURE ATHLETICISM

Measuring athleticism involves evaluating a combination of physical attributes that contribute to overall performance in sports and physical activities. At The Performance Lab, we assess athleticism through various metrics, including speed, agility, power, strength, and endurance. Our assessments include specific tests such as vertical jump tests, sprint timings, agility drills, and strength measurements. By analyzing these components, we can provide a detailed overview of an athlete's strengths and areas for improvement. This holistic approach helps in creating targeted training programs aimed at enhancing overall athletic capabilities and achieving peak performance.
