Biomechanics Analysis In Pasadena
Identify Movement Faults and Improve Performance with Precision
At The Movement Clinic Physical Therapy and Performance, our Biomechanics Analysis in Pasadena, CA is designed to uncover the root causes of pain, inefficiency, and performance limitations. By analyzing how your body moves under real-world demands, we identify mechanical breakdowns that often go unnoticed but contribute to injury risk and stalled progress.
Poor biomechanics can develop from previous injuries, muscle imbalances, joint restrictions, or repetitive stress. Over time, these compensations place excessive strain on specific tissues, leading to chronic pain or recurring injuries. Our detailed assessment evaluates posture, joint alignment, force distribution, gait mechanics, and sport- or activity-specific movement patterns.
Using clinical observation and movement testing, we assess how your body transfers force through the kinetic chain. We examine how the hips, knees, shoulders, spine, and core interact during walking, running, lifting, jumping, or sport-specific tasks. The goal is not just to identify where pain exists, but to understand why it is happening.
Following the analysis, we create a targeted corrective strategy. This may include mobility restoration, motor control training, strength progression, neuromuscular re-education, and movement retraining. Every recommendation is individualized based on your goals, whether that is returning to sport, reducing injury risk, or improving efficiency in daily activities.
At The Movement Clinic Physical Therapy and Performance in Pasadena, CA, biomechanics analysis bridges the gap between rehabilitation and performance. Instead of chasing symptoms, we correct the underlying movement faults that limit your body’s full potential.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a biomechanics analysis?
A biomechanics analysis evaluates how your body moves and distributes force during activity to identify mechanical inefficiencies that may cause pain or injury.
Who should consider biomechanics analysis?
Athletes, runners, active adults, and individuals with recurring injuries or unexplained pain can benefit from a detailed movement evaluation.
Is this only for athletes?
No. While athletes often use it for performance gains, biomechanics analysis also helps anyone looking to improve movement quality and prevent future injury.
What happens after the analysis?
You receive a customized corrective plan designed to improve alignment, coordination, strength, and movement efficiency.

When I first came to the Movement Clinic, I could barely walk. I had an ankle injury and was looking at the possibility of having a nasty surgery. I was really scared and worried that I wouldn’t be able to do the things I love anymore, or even be as independent in my day to day life. Six months later and I’m completely back to normal – working out like I did before, and walking/running completely as normal. Special shout out to Dr. John Gan, who got me my confidence and stride back. 5/5 stars, no notes.

John was amazing to work with. He understood what my issues where and provided great examples of exercises to do, to help with my back issues. The facility is clean and beautiful.
