What is the Bodycheck?
The Bodycheck is specifically designed to detect imbalances
in posture that can lead to injury before you feel pain.
The Bodycheck is a 45minute appointment in
which the alignment of your spine and the strength and flexibility
of your major muscle groups are assessed.
At the end of the assessment you will know what is working
well and what is not. Our findings will be explained to you
along with what can be done about any problem areas.
Subtle changes in posture over a few years can result in
joints being put under excessive strain. When a joint is incorrectly
aligned the muscles that normally protect the joints are compromised
in their performance and as a result they weaken.
|
Weak muscles perform poorly. Other muscles may be recruited
as a substitute but their performance will be less than that
of the muscle designed for the task. Additionally the joints
will have less protection and you will be more vulnerable
to injury.
We aim to help you to avoid injury and
unecessary future aches and pains. We do this by providing
you with practical information that will improve the quality
of the way that you move and hold yourself. We also provide
individual exercise programmes that are tailored to your particular
strengths and weaknesses (See Core
Fitness).
