CAIRNS RUNNING AND MOVEMENT ASSESSMENTS

Why you need a Cairns running and movement assessments. Our modern lifestyles of prolonged sitting, driving and poor posture can lead to muscle strength and movement imbalances. When we try to increase our training load, for example running, cycling or hiking, these imbalances can often lead to injuries including knee pain, hip pain and back pain.

In some cases, the cause of the pain is not in the same location as the pain. For example, did you know that a lack of hip internal rotation has been linked to shoulder and elbow pain in baseball throwers?

That’s why a Cairns running and movement assessment is so important. It provides a total body assessment, identifying any biomechanical dysfunction. Wellness Embodied will always use the latest technology and evidence based research, to deliver individualised care and treatment plans. We look at all of the factors which can cause you to have pain, or even stop you from getting faster or stronger.
