Frequently Asked Questions
Starting with a foot examination, we assess joint flexibility and alignment, identifying issues like flat feet or overpronation. Moving upwards, we examine ankles, knees, and hips for any imbalances or reduced mobility. Your spine, particularly the lumbar region, is evaluated next for curvature and flexibility.
Further up, we assess the thoracic and cervical spine, shoulders, elbows, and wrists, ensuring free movement and correct alignment. Lastly, we examine the jaw and temporal joints.
After pinpointing areas of concern, we employ osteopathic techniques such as mobilisation, stretching, and soft tissue massage.
This holistic, head-to-toe approach enhances overall movement and alleviates discomfort, promoting optimal health.
A Biomechanical Check-up is a thorough examination of your body’s mechanical function, including posture, mobility, joint flexibility, muscle strength, and balance assessment. Our specialized osteopathic practitioners utilize a holistic, patient-centred approach to evaluate how your body parts move and interact in tandem – the way you walk, sit, stand, or perform specific activities.
Every person has a unique physical structure and movement pattern. Understanding these individual intricacies is key to optimising health, preventing injuries, and improving overall quality of life.
Our Biomechanical Check-up aims to identify any abnormalities, imbalances, or stressors that might lead to pain or discomfort. It can be particularly beneficial if you’re involved in sports, have a physically demanding job, or are recovering from an injury.
However, this isn’t exclusive to these circumstances – anyone can better understand their body’s biomechanics.
The M.O.T. includes a full biomechanical assessment, which entails a full active and passive assessment of the spine and peripheral joints as well as a postural assessment.
Yes – as required! Our test and treat process allows our clinicians to test each joint for mobility, quality of movement and range of movement. If any dysfunction is present, it will be explained, and, where possible, treatment delivered at the same time.
Whatever is necessary! Treatments can include soft tissue work, joint articulation, spinal manipulation, joint manipulation, medical acupuncture, dry cupping, kinesiology taping or any other therapy techniques our Repair Team has in their toolbox
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A BODY UNITY M.O.T
Your full Biomechanical Check-up at our clinic is an in-depth, non-invasive process that takes around 30-45 minutes. Here’s what to expect:
Consultation
If it’s your first visit to us, your session begins with a thorough discussion about your medical history, lifestyle, and any current symptoms or concerns. This is a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have about the process.
If you are an existing patient, then we will review and update your records to ensure the latest information is recorded.
Physical Assessment
Your clinician will observe your posture, movement patterns, and overall physical function.
This might involve specific tasks like walking, bending, or lifting and can also include simple tests for flexibility, strength, and balance.
