Biomechanics delves into the mechanics of movements that govern the human body. Derived from the Greek words “bios” (life) and “mēkhanē” (mechanics), biomechanics seeks to understand the structural and functional aspects of biological systems, particularly focusing on how living organisms move and interact with their environment.
At its core, biomechanics combines principles from physics and biology to analyze the mechanical aspects of our bodies. Whether it’s the fluid motion of a sprinter or the precision of a ballet dancer, biomechanics provides a lens through which we can comprehend the underlying mechanisms of these movements.
We use advanced biomechanical technologies such as motion capture and computer simulations to precisely measure and analyze our patients’ bodies as they move. We use this data to understand the mechanics behind the movements. We gain valuable insights that translate into premiere care for our patients that optimize personal performance, prevent injuries, and identify causes of pain and discomfort.
