What is the Applied Functional Science process for assessment?

Every exercise is a test, and every test is an exercise.

The Applied Functional Science perspective of assessment would convey that we are always assessing our clients, patients, and athletes in every action they perform.

Assessment and programming is a dynamic, evolving interplay between the physiotherapist and the client.

Does your rehabilitation/healthcare professional have a high level of expertise in human movement?

The best physiotherapists in the world, regardless what country they studied in, continually learn more about human movement.

2 key questions your physiotherapist should ask you:

1. What are your goals, wants, and wishes?
2. How may I help you today?

11/17/2025

The GIFT of improved movement. At any age, improved movement should reduce your pain, improve your efficiency, and improve your overall level of function.

As 2026 approaches, what are your goals, wants, and wishes? Improving your movement helps improve your health. It could help you improve your muscle strength, reduce your risk of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, and reduce your risk of cancer and heart disease.

Skipping your warm-up might seem like a time-saver, but it can slow you down and lead to injury. Without a warm-up:

✅ Muscles are more prone to strains and tears
✅ Joints aren’t properly prepared for the workout
✅ Performance suffers, making lifts and movements less effective

Quick 5–10 Minute Warm-Up:
    1. Arm circles & shoulder rolls – 30 sec each
    2. Leg swings (front-to-back & side-to-side) – 10 reps per leg
    3. Hip circles – 30 sec
    4. Bodyweight squats – 10–15 reps
    5. Walking lunges – 10 reps per leg
    6. Light jog or jump rope – 1–2 minutes

By doing this, you get your blood flowing, muscles firing, and joints ready, setting yourself up for a safer and stronger workout. 💪

Lest We Forget. ❤️

Get the help you DESERVE!

Getting help for an injury doesn’t mean you’re weak, it means you’re taking care of your body. Trying to push through pain or ignore an injury can often make recovery longer and more difficult.

Physiotherapists go through years of education and continuous training to understand movement, injury, and recovery at every level. They know how to assess what your body needs and build a personalized plan to help you heal safely and effectively. ❤️‍🩹

At Evolution Physiotherapy, we’re here to support you through your recovery journey—helping you manage pain, restore mobility, and regain confidence in your body.

When holding a plank, it’s easy to let your hips sag or arch your back, but keeping your spine straight is key to getting the most out of the exercise.

Maintaining a neutral spine engages your core muscles properly, reduces strain on your lower back, and helps build better posture and stability.

Think of it as creating one long line from your head to your heels. Engage your abs, squeeze your glutes, and keep your shoulders stacked over your wrists.

✅ Keep your body in line
✅ Engage your core
✅ Protect your spine

Ever stand up after sitting for a while with a sore back or stiff legs? That’s your muscles and joints reminding you they’ve been still for a bit too long.

Taking just a few seconds to stretch before standing—like gently straightening and bending your knees or flexing your ankles—helps get blood flowing, loosens up tight muscles, and prepares your body to move comfortably.

10/23/2025

Your back works hard every day supporting your posture, stabilizing movement, and protecting your spine. Taking time to stretch it out can help keep it strong, flexible, and pain-free.

Stretching your back helps:
✅ Relieve built-up tension in the spine and surrounding muscles
✅ Improve mobility and range of motion
✅ Boost circulation to promote recovery and reduce stiffness
✅ Support better posture and alignment

One simple exercise you can try: stand tall, raise your arms over your head, interlace your fingers, and reach upward. Feel your spine gently stretch as you breathe deeply.

Whether you sit for long hours, lift regularly, or just want to move more comfortably, adding gentle back stretches to your routine can make a noticeable difference.

When lifting heavy objects, whether it’s a box, a bag of groceries, or weights at the gym, bending your knees and using your legs is key to avoiding injury.

Your legs have some of the largest and strongest muscles in your body, designed to handle heavy loads. When you lift with your back instead, you place unnecessary strain on your spine and surrounding muscles, which can lead to pain or even long-term damage.

Keep the object close, engage your core, and let your legs do the work.

Small adjustments in form can make a big difference in protecting your back and keeping your body strong. 💪

10/16/2025

Feeling tired more often than you’d like? Regular exercise can actually help increase your overall energy levels.

By improving heart and lung function, boosting circulation, and helping your cells produce energy more efficiently, exercise trains your body to use energy better throughout the day. It also reduces stress and promotes better sleep—key factors in feeling refreshed and alert.

Move consistently, and your body will reward you with more lasting energy in your daily life. 💪
