Movement Screen

Movement Screen

Here at ICWA we perform a functional movement screen. In this screen we observe your movement patterns to detect compensations which can come from muscular imbalances, pain avoidance, or poor postural habits.  The body is great at compensating, which is great, except that the compensations will lead to dysfunction and eventually cause pain or injury.  At ICWA we strive to eliminate these dysfunctions and compensations because we want to eliminate pain and injury. Many injuries are 100% avoidable and so we want to prevent those injuries from occurring.  After identify the ways in which your body has compensated we can then come up with a plan to eliminate the dysfunction and improve the function of your body. We do this through foam rolling, STARWRAP (www.thestarwrap.com), corrective exercise, and yoga/static stretching. Once your dysfunction has been addressed then the focus can shift to improving overall fitness utilizing functional training such as: TRX suspension training, kettle bells, medicine balls, and most importantly…your body. Eliminating the pain and dysfunction is not a one-time process, but rather a lifestyle of continuous self-treatment. We are always building up tension in life. No matter what you do, or do not do, you are building tension so you always have to break that tension down to avoid pain and injury. We don’t just want to avoid injury and pain; we also want to see how healthy we can get your tissue and body! So stop by or go online today www.icwanm.org to schedule an appointment for a FREE assessment to start your journey of living a healthy pain free life.
