Physically, one of the most important things in life is to be able to move freely and unimpaired. Yet most of us are not aware of the variety of muscles, joints and nerves which must work together in harmony to make coordinated movement possible. Even a slight disruption in this complex interaction can lead to serious movement constraint.

The source of the pain or discomfort is not always located where it is felt. For example, back pain and knee problems can be caused by issues with foot pressure or alignment, which in turn affects the entire body posture. For this reason it is necessary to measure the whole body in its entirety in order to obtain a reliable diagnosis.

The DIERS 4D Motion Lab at the Therapeutic Associates Motion Lab can provide you, your physical therapist and/or physician the comprehensive information that is needed to develop your treatment plan.
