Determining the “how and why” an injury develops can sometimes be an overwhelming process to understand. At Boulder Sports Chiropractic, we take a structure-versus-function approach to injury evaluation. Implementation of movement-based systems allows us to evaluate the body for symmetry, along with determining whether movement restrictions are related to compensation patterns, or a localized joint or tissue issue.

Selection Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA):

The Selection Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) is a structured movement-screening technique that is implemented by nearly all professional and collegiate athletic programs across the world. Our Boulder chiropractors have been trained in this highly specific technique and use it with every patient. Avoid future injury by identifying limitations and figure out the specific cause of your injury by getting screened with the SFMA in our office.

Using functional movement screening, we can determine if a place in your body is the cause of pain or just where you feel the pain. We can also observe movement patterns to predict future injury due to limitations in range of motion, strength or control of muscles. If you are starting a new exercise program  and looking to avoid injury or you're trying to figure out why you get persistent pain even after doing all the stretching and youtube exercises - we can help! If you are recovering from a sports injury or car accident in Boulder, we can identify the weak links that need addressing using movement screening.

Anatomy in Motion (AIM):

Anatomy in Motion is yet another movement analysis tool as it relates to the human gait cycle. AIM helps to analyze and simplify movements found throughout the kinetic chain head to toe. Originally crafted by Gary Ward, this theory encourages patients to bring awareness back into their body, helping to restore movement patterns that have since been forgotten. With the application of “joints act, muscles react”, AIM can help restore movement from the feet up, or the head down, as the body is viewed as a series of cogs and kinetic chains working together to propel us forward.

Dealing with acute and chronic pain can be difficult. The team at Boulder Sports Chiropractic offers movement based diagnostic systems at our Boulder, CO clinic to get to the root of the problem and help you live pain-free.
