Biomechanical Assessment in London

A biomechanical movement assessment examines how your body moves and manages the demands of a task. At DVOTION, Biomechanical Assessment combines recorded shoulder and hip measurements with standing analysis, axial compression and reorganisation tests. We interpret the findings together to identify your movement strategy and recommend priorities for sport and strength training. The one-hour assessment costs £300 and includes a written report.

The assessment identifies your movement strategy and informs the movement and strength work that follows. In our model, jumping, landing and changing direction express the same underlying phases: early propulsion or deceleration, middle propulsion or containment, and late propulsion or acceleration. We interpret the relative motion available across those phases. If you also want measurements of jump braking, propulsion, timing and power, book the combined Movement & Force Production Strategy Assessment. Biomechanical Assessment alone does not measure jump performance or change-of-direction speed.

Running is one expression of the movement strategy we identify from the assessment. In our model, each ground contact involves early propulsion or deceleration, middle propulsion or containment, and late propulsion or acceleration. We interpret how relative motion availability supports these phases and where the body relies on compensation. The findings guide movement and strength work. The session does not include instrumented running gait analysis, sprint timing or a measurement of running economy.

Yes. Shoulder and hip measurements, standing strategy and loading tests help us interpret how you organise your body to control resistance and produce force. The findings inform exercise selection, positioning and progression for pushing, pulling and other strength work. We relate the recommendations to the movements you train and the equipment you use.

It can be useful if a recurring movement restriction is affecting your training and you want to understand what to work on next. We interpret the measurement pattern alongside standing and loading responses to consider which movement options are available and which compensations you rely on. This gives your mobility and strength work a direction based on the assessment.

We record shoulder and hip measurements at the table in early and late positions. In our terminology, early refers to positions in front of the centre of gravity and late refers to positions behind it. We interpret the measurements together, then analyse standing strategy and use axial compression and reorganisation tests to examine limitations and compensations. The assessment includes both recorded measurements and practitioner interpretation.

Relative motion is movement between body segments, such as the thigh and pelvis. In our assessment model, that availability allows energy to transfer through the body during deceleration, containment and acceleration. When relative motion is restricted, segments may move together as a unit and the body may reorganise to complete the task through compensation. We interpret the measurements together to identify that strategy. A larger range can include compensation elsewhere, so no single angle determines your training plan.

You receive a written report explaining the findings, your movement strategy and recommended training priorities. We discuss the findings during the appointment, including which movement options to develop and how to approach strength work. The report can be used independently or shared with your existing coach.

Biomechanical Assessment is £300 and helps guide movement work and exercise selection. The Force & Power Profile is £150 and measures braking, propulsion, timing, power and limb contribution during force plate protocols. The Movement & Force Production Strategy Assessment combines both for £400, with the findings interpreted together. Choose the combined assessment if you want movement recommendations alongside measured force and jump data.

Yes. You can book Biomechanical Assessment on its own. If you continue with DVOTION coaching, we work on recapturing relative motion, using the movement options you gain and progressively building strength while retaining them. A full ongoing programme is a separate service.

Previous injuries and recurring movement limitations can be discussed as part of your training history. This is a performance assessment, not a diagnosis of injury or the medical cause of pain. An active injury requiring medical attention should be assessed by an appropriate healthcare professional.

DVOTION Labs offers Biomechanical Assessment at UNTIL Liverpool Street, 280 Bishops Square, London EC2M 4RB, and UNTIL Marylebone, 1 Orchard Street, London W1H 6HJ. Both locations operate by appointment.
