Athlete Movement Screen and Performance Assessment

Most runners and cyclists I see aren’t dealing with a diagnosis. They’re dealing with something harder to name: the feeling that their body is working against them. A hip that doesn’t quite move the way it should. A pedal stroke that leaks power somewhere nobody can quite pinpoint. A training block that keeps ending early with pain for reasons that never quite add up.

The Athlete Movement Screen and Performance Assessment is a full-system look at how you move, where you’re limited, and what you can actually do about it.

What we assess

This isn’t a quick posture screen or a standard checklist of hip flexor tightness. It’s a structured 60-to-90-minute evaluation that covers the things that actually matter for endurance athletes:

  • Running or cycling gait analysis with video, so you can see exactly what I see
  • Functional movement screen: squats, single-leg loading, hip and ankle mobility under load
  • Strength assessment for the muscle groups that drive and protect your sport
  • Foot and lower limb mechanics, including how your foot behaves when things get tired
  • Training load and history, because the body doesn’t exist in a vacuum from the work it’s been doing

What you walk away with

A written summary of findings. Specific drills and mobility work targeted to what we actually found, not a generic “strengthen your glutes” handout. And a clear picture of whether your movement patterns are putting you at risk, or whether what you’re dealing with is a load management issue instead.

That last distinction matters more than most athletes expect. A lot of what gets labeled a biomechanical problem is really just a body that’s been asked to do too much too fast. Sorting that out is part of what this assessment does.

Who this is for

Runners building toward a big race season. Cyclists who want to know if their movement and their setup are actually matched. Athletes who’ve had recurring injuries and want to understand the pattern. Anyone who’s curious about how they move and wants actual data instead of guesses.

You don’t have to be injured to get useful information out of this. Most of the athletes who get the most out of it are the ones who feel mostly fine but suspect something is leaving performance on the table.
