Why Forwardmotion?
Entire Body Assessment
At Forwardmotion we are one of the few companies that assesses how the entire body performs during the process of running. Without promoting one particular running style for all, we aim to fine-tune everyone’s individual running technique. Our team consists of trained Physiotherapists who have worked with some of the worlds leading athletes and sporting federations this combined with our use of state of the art Optogait technology ensures we deliver an unrivalled service.
State-of-the-Art Technology - Optogait
Optogait is a state-of-the-art system that brings a proven philosophy of assessment to injury prevention and rehabilitation to help athletes run more efficiently and identify posture-related or movement-related problems. By acquiring the fundamental parameters of the athlete’s gait, OPTOGAIT allows the All3motion team to quantitatively measure underlying mechanical inefficiencies and target any problematic areas. With this information, we can develop the right exercises to properly address the athlete’s specific needs for enhanced performance.
This is supplemented by video analysis, which allows joint angles to be measured, and technique to be further analysed. This is very useful to show a client what they may need to improve on.
We use a premium quality treadmill without the ‘flex’ that some treadmills have. In this way we are more closely replicating the mechanics of running outside. Our software can then recommend which training shoes would be the best for that athlete.
