Personal Postural Assessments

All of us have our own postural imbalances and faulty movement patterns. Most may never experience any pain or problems from these imbalances, therefore will never find a need to identify and fix them. However, many do experience pain, weakness or plateaus in training that are chronic and bothersome in certain activities or day to day life. We here at Allways Barefoot highly recommended first transitioning to barefoot shoes, as getting rid of improper footwear often sorts these problems out all on its own. After transitioning, if you find that you still experience a lack of motion or incessant pain, it can help to identify where the problem is coming from. During a personal assessment, we will be examining multiple ranges of motion: Dorsiflexion / Plantarflexion Pronation / Supination Knee Flexion / Extension Hip Abduction / Extension / Flexion / Internal & External Rotation Lumber Flexion / Extension Thoracic Flexion / Extension Cervical Rotation / Flexion / Extension Shoulder Internal Rotation / External Rotation Each of these ranges of motion can reveal the limitations of certain muscle groups, pinpointing which mobility exercises can be most effective for that individual. Personal Assessments are offered in two formats: In person - 60 minutes Over Live Video Chat - 45 Minutes In both formats, each range of motion is systematically checked and evaluated. By the end, the subsequent muscles and motions that were identified as limited are listed and appropriate joint care exercises are prescribed.

The Foot

The foot is the most complex mechanical structure our body has. It constantly shifts between being a mobile adapter to a stiff lever with each step we take. It is capable of absorbing shock, and then recycling that shock into elastic energy. The basic components of the foot are laid out here.
