Movement Assessment
Identify and address muscle imbalances before they impact your training. Learn our proven 4-phase process to optimize your movement patterns and prevent injury.
Why Movement Assessments Matter
Most people lack postural awareness—they don't realize when their body is out of alignment or using compensatory movement patterns. You might feel "fine" during everyday activities, but these hidden imbalances can sabotage your training progress and set you up for injury when you add load and intensity.
Common Causes of Muscle Imbalances:
Prolonged Sitting
Hours at a desk lead to tight hip flexors, weak glutes, rounded shoulders, and forward head posture.
Repetitive Motions
Sport-specific movements or work tasks create overuse patterns that strengthen some muscles while neglecting others.
Previous Injuries
Old injuries create protective compensation patterns that persist long after the injury heals.
The Compensation Cycle
When muscle imbalances exist, your body doesn't simply stop moving—it adapts. To perform a joint action, your body will find the path of least resistance, which often means recruiting muscles that aren't designed to be primary movers for that movement.
For example, if your glutes are weak (underactive), your lower back and hamstrings may take over during hip extension. This creates a vicious cycle: the already-tight muscles get tighter and more overworked, while the weak muscles get weaker from lack of proper engagement. Over time, this leads to pain, dysfunction, and increased injury risk—especially under load.
That's why assessment comes first. You can't fix what you don't know is broken.
What You'll Learn
Identify Muscle Imbalances
Discover which muscles are overactive (tight and dominant) versus underactive (weak and inhibited). These imbalances can lead to compensatory movement patterns, pain, and increased injury risk.
Master the 4-Phase Process
Learn our proven system to address imbalances before every training session. You'll master the techniques needed to inhibit overactive muscles, lengthen tight tissue, activate underactive muscles, and integrate proper movement patterns—bringing your body into ideal alignment.
Create Your Custom Warm-Up Routine
Walk away with a personalized warm-up protocol designed specifically for your body's needs. You'll be expected to perform this routine prior to each resistance training session to optimize your performance and reduce injury risk.
The 4-Phase Corrective Process
During your ~60-minute assessment, you'll learn this systematic approach to address muscle imbalances and optimize your movement patterns before every workout.
Inhibit
Use self-myofascial release techniques (foam rolling, massage balls) to decrease tension in overactive muscles and reduce neural activity.
Example: Foam rolling
Lengthen
Perform static and dynamic stretches to increase flexibility and range of motion in muscles that have been identified as tight or restricted.
Example: Calf stretch
Activate
Use isolated strengthening exercises to "wake up" and strengthen underactive muscles that need to work harder to restore proper balance.
Example: Tibialis raise
Integrate
Perform full-body movement patterns to reinforce proper mechanics and train your body to maintain ideal alignment during functional activities.
Example: Full-body movement
Why Get Assessed?
Establish Your Baseline: Know exactly where you're starting from so you can accurately track your progress.
Identify Limitations: Discover any movement restrictions or imbalances before they become injuries.
Personalized Approach: Get recommendations tailored to your unique body, lifestyle, and goals.
Save Time: Avoid wasting months on generic programs that weren't designed for you.
Expert Guidance: Get professional insights you can't get from online calculators or apps.
Clear Direction: Leave with a concrete plan of action, not just data and confusion.
Session Details
Duration: Approximately 60 minutes
Focus: Movement patterns and muscle imbalances—you'll go through a series of movements to identify overactive vs. underactive muscles
Initial Consultation: Body composition metrics (waist/hip measurements) and goal-setting discussions happen during your initial consultation, not the movement assessment
Perfect For
- • Anyone starting a new training program
- • People experiencing pain or discomfort during exercise
- • Athletes looking to optimize performance and prevent injury
- • Individuals recovering from injury
- • Those who want to understand their body's movement patterns
- • Anyone serious about long-term training success
