What happens at MAVEN during an evaluation?

Proficiency in movement—how the body should move for optimized recovery, health, and sports performance—is key to our work.

It’s important that we, and you, understand the demands you put on your body.

During your first visit and throughout your care journey, we assess your movement, strength, and range of motion, along with your gait to connect the dots between what you are feeling and the factors contributing to your injury.

We then create a customized plan, tailored specifically for you, to begin your recovery journey and get back to moving comfortably.

In general, you can not have good mobility until you have adequate flexibility. 🧘

This is because you can't move through a range of motion with control until you have that range of motion available to you.

Flexibility is an important prerequisite for some sports such as gymnastics and various forms of dance. 💃

Mobility on the other hand is crucial to improved performance in sports such as popping up on a surfboard, and in daily tasks such as dropping down into a deep squat to reach something on the floor.

Mobility and flexibility work together while training we often use both in creating a custom plan to reach your peak athletic performance.

Are you tired of the relentless grip of back pain?

We've got some good news for you – the key to finding relief might just be within your reach. 🙌

Unlock the Power of Mobility: 🕺💃
Back pain often stems from stiffness and lack of mobility in the hips and spine. When your hip joints and the vertebrae in your spine move freely, they act as shock absorbers, reducing the strain on your lower back.

A Balancing Act: 🤹‍♀️🤹‍♂️
Maintaining a delicate balance between stability and mobility in your hips and spine is crucial. Too much rigidity can lead to discomfort, while too much flexibility might cause instability.

Our expert therapists are here to help you strike that perfect balance. Get in touch today!
