BioMechanical Assessments with Corrective Exercises
A biomechanical assessment is an analysis of your musculoskeletal system’s moving parts, especially from the feet to lower back. No matter what skill level you are, your body’s mechanics can have one part or another that doesn’t move optimally. Evolution Physical Therapy can assess and correct these inefficiencies, subsequently reducing pain and fatigue while improving performance.
Our biomechanical assessments with corrective exercises are one of our core service offerings and therefore can be found at all our locations. Find the best clinic for you below.
A biomechanical assessment analyzes your body’s structure, alignment, strengths, and weaknesses. Biomechanical assessments often focus on gait analysis, or the movement in your lower limbs. This movement can impact your entire body’s mechanics during walking and running, but also lifting heavy objects, while sitting, or performing an athletic activity like swinging a bat. Since your body’s kinetic motion is all interconnected, incorrect mechanics can cause a chain reaction. For instance, if one of your feet – which has 28 bones and over 200 ligaments and muscles – is not working optimally, it may cause pain elsewhere or impact your ability to balance.
Benefits of a Biomechanical Assessment
Your physical therapist will be analyzing your body in both standing and moving states in order to best understand how your body is working from the ground on up. Your most common benefits from getting a biomechanical assessment include:
Reducing back pain
Reducing pain in your feet
Reducing pain in legs
Preventing injuries to identified weak points
Improved balance
Less wear and tear on joints and stress points
Being able to stay on your feet for longer periods
Who Should Consider Being Assessed?
Since a biomechanical assessment will help improve your body’s overall ergonomics, anyone who is out of alignment may benefit. Most commonly, you may be a good candidate for a biomechanical assessment if you:
Have bunions
Have fallen arches
Have knee issues
Heavy pronation or supination when walking
Long days on your feet
Chronic conditions within your lower back and other lower extremities
What to Expect During Your BioMechanical Assessment
When it comes time to have your biomechanical assessment, your physiotherapist will analyze your body in two different states: stationary and moving. Note, you’ll need your feet bare during the test and can expect the test to take around an hour.
Stationary Analysis:
During your stationary, or static, assessment your clinician will take a look at how your body aligns while not moving. Postural elements will be examined, as will the specific alignment of joints in your legs. From there they will check the motion range of each joint and assess foot and joint position during possible condition-specific tests. Additionally, measurements will likely be taken of your body to identify whether
Dynamic Analysis:
The moving part of your biomechanical assessment will combine video and visual assessments done by the clinician as well as digital reads that are made through pressure plates. During these tests, your physiotherapist’s goal is to analyze where force is being generated and stress is being placed on body parts.
Possible Treatments:
Once the tests are complete, your therapist will combine the eye test with the digital data garnered to create a custom plan to improve your ergonomics. Your plan will include a combination of footwear and insole suggestions, specific exercises, dry needling, as well as mobilization techniques.
Those that strictly adhere to recommendations can start seeing benefits almost immediately. More significant corrections, however, may require follow up visits with your therapist, especially when rehabilitating from an injury or surgery.

I went to Evolution for a bit over a year to work on some hip flexor and back pain that was keeping me from exercising. Anna Lee was a phenomenal therapist who guided me through a progressive exercise regime that got me back into the gym with minimal pain. I highly recommend her and this clinic!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the amazing review, John! Glad that you enjoyed your experience with Anna and at Evolution!
I went to Evolution last year for a frozen shoulder. I needed PT for a few months and had the pleasure of having Anna as my therapist. She did everything she had to do to get my shoulder back in shape. Unfortunately my other shoulder suffered a rotator cuff injury so without hesitation I took my prescription to Evolution and requested Anna. I've been working with her for two weeks and my shoulder already feels better. If you need any type of PT, Anna and Evolution are absolutely the best!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the amazing review, Scott! We are happy to hear that you have had multiple great experiences with Anna!
My young therapist is very good and attentive. She always tackles the issues as they come up. The scheduling of the appointments is also very teliable.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review, Robert! We are happy to hear that you are having a great experience at Evolution.
This is a positive review of my PT, Jessica, at Evolution Physical Therapy. In the October timeframe, I had aches in my butt and knee areas. The pain was so bad that I could not stand in the kitchen washing dishes for 10 minutes. Jessica gave me a full evaluation and started working on my soft tissues. Within 2 sessions, my pain was greatly remarkably reduced. I continued to see her two times a week. Jessica continued working on my angry muscles and taught me stressing and strengthening exercises at the same time. The pain I experienced is now gone. Jessica is friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. She is a true professional and has advance certification for her work. It is a pleasure to work with her.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the amazing review, Gary! We are happy Jessica has been able to help you, and are happy to hear that you have been having significant improvements!
Alex is fantastic. He listens to your problem areas and addresses them perfectly. While there’s always some pain involved with PT he knows exactly where to stop. He has helped me greatly improve after shoulder surgery and while there’s still a long road ahead I know I’m in good hands with Alex
Response from the owner:Thank you for the amazing review, Tom! We are happy to hear you are having a wonderful experience at Evolution with Alex!

Evolution Therapy Center in Beverly Hills is by far the best therapy center I’ve ever been to. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, the space is clean and spacious, and they have a wide variety of equipment to support your recovery.
The physical therapists are truly experienced and knowledgeable. I want to especially recognize Kumiko Bankson , who has been doing an amazing job helping me with my neck and arms issues and Carol Gong , who provided excellent care for my lower back.
Also, a big thank you to Barbara at the front desk—she’s always helpful and kind, making scheduling and check-ins easy.
I highly recommend Evolution Therapy Center to anyone in need of quality physical therapy.
