Tired of sore feet or other body parts when you run or play your favorite sport?  How about walking or at work?  A biomechanical lower extremity assessment might be what’s right for you.  This includes a physical assessment of the relationship of your muscles, bones and joints of your hips, spine, knees and feet.  It also includes a videotaped walking and running analysis that is used to provide you with specific stretches and/or exercises, and a shoe and/or orthotics recommendation.

Cost for this service: $75 (Insurance will usually cover this cost with doctor's referral)

CompuTrainer Cycling Assessment

The CompuTrainer is the ultimate in indoor cycle training. It will provide you with several factors, such as analyzing your pedal stroke and power output, which your cycle’s computer will not tell you. The SpinScan pedal stroke analyzer will inform you of any differences between your right and left leg power and identify what you need to work on to become more efficient and powerful.
You will use your own bike to race against the computer or you can race against your previous performance. There are enough pre-programmed courses to keep you busy all season.
3Dimensional Physical Therapy wants to be your testing center. We will perform an anaerobic power test at the start of your training and re-test four to six weeks later to determine if you are meeting your training expectations.
