Sports injuries are often a result of poor biomechanics. Biomechanics is defined as the study of the living body especially of the forces exerted by muscles and gravity on the skeletal system. Poor biomechanics puts extra stress on joints and tissues, resulting in pain. If allowed to continue, this can lead to injury. The key is to address the cause of pain by removing the stress on the structures. This is achieved by restoring and maintaining proper mechanics.
Function Restoration is an approach used at Pain Resolution Institute that can dramatically improve your body mechanics. This is achieved through methods of treatment which remove imbalance and restrictions in your body that occur from the stress and strain of sports and other activities.
Footwear is also critical for proper biomechanical function. The foot is your foundation and dramatically effects your entire structure. Custom orthotics can precisely ‘tune’ your body alignment for optimal biomechanical performance.
Proper biomechanics does not only prevent injuries, but also makes you more energy efficient for better performance.
“The way we hold and movie our bodies in our daily activities is more important than most people realize. Anytime a structure departs from the balance state, energy is wasted and efficiency reduced.”
– J.E. Goldwait – 1911
