WHAT IS THE MAIN FOCUS FOR AIM?​

​

A Walking Assessment is a detailed evaluation of your gait mechanics—the way you walk—designed to identify imbalances, inefficiencies, and movement patterns that could contribute to pain or discomfort. This assessment focuses on how your posture, joints, and muscles work together while you walk. By carefully observing and analyzing your gait, we can pinpoint any deviations that may lead to issues like lower back pain, hip discomfort, knee problems, or foot and ankle injuries. A Walking Assessment provides valuable insights that help create a personalized treatment plan to improve your walking posture, reduce pain, and prevent future injuries.

​

Why is a Walking Assessment Important?

​

Your gait—how you move while walking—plays a crucial role in your overall physical health. Poor walking mechanics can cause a ripple effect throughout your body, leading to joint pain, muscular imbalances, and even chronic injuries. A Walking Assessment helps uncover underlying issues that might not be apparent in daily life but could worsen over time. By understanding your specific movement patterns, we can help you achieve a more efficient and balanced gait, preventing future injuries and promoting better overall mobility. This is particularly important for athletes, individuals with chronic pain, or anyone recovering from injury who wants to improve performance and quality of life.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE SESSION?​

​

AIM therapist assesses your entire body, from the tips of your toes to the crown of your head, to see which joint movements are missing and where your body has created compensation patterns.

Treatment employs the human body as the ultimate healer through movement-based techniques to restore the body's ability to control ground reaction forces and return to optimal function.

 

AiM teaches what the body does, not what we think it does.
