What is movement retraining?
How many times has someone continued limping even though their leg no longer hurts? Movement re-training is essential to address the underlying functional issues and clear up any movement problems that arise after injury. Even if poor movement patterns did not exist prior to a person’s injury, they often show up afterward.
Faulty movement patterns commonly contribute to peoples’ injuries, whether they are located on a person’s spine, knee, shoulder, or another body part. Poor body mechanics lead to pain and injury in the first place, and therefore, the injury cannot be successfully treated without Movement Retraining to correct the faulty movement patterns.
Movement retraining is the process of learning how to perform specific movement patterns in a progressive manner in order to restore full and pain-free function. Movement retraining techniques are essential for rehabilitating almost every condition Physio For Life’s physiotherapists treat.
If you have sustained an injury and are now experiencing limited mobility or painful restrictions that affect the way you walk or perform daily activities, contact Physio For Life in Vancouver to schedule an appointment today.

What to expect with movement retraining therapy
Movement retraining with your physiotherapist at Physio For Life in Vancouver usually includes posture, movement and task analysis and review, identification of weaknesses and limitations, stability training, and progressive dynamic movement training.
We focus on functional movement, multi-dimensional kinetic chain patterns, and breaking the movement down into pieces, which are then progressively relearned in the corrected pattern.
At your initial appointment with your Physio For Life therapist, they will assess your alignment, and pinpoint areas of dysfunction and compensation. Your movement patterns, mobility, and flexibility will be tested to determine areas that need addressing. Your therapeutic treatment program will be customized to fit your exact needs, with major improvements in your movement patterns being the end goal.
