For rehabilitation to be effective it must treat the body as one interconnected unit with a thoughtful approach to address the objective measurements of function. In simple terms the evaluation of function must take the following components into consideration:

Postural Restrictions

Movement Limitations

Coordination / Balance

Injury History

Scared Tissue

Compensation / Guarding Patterns

Developmental Pathology

All of these elements and more contribute to the overall picture of health in the evaluation and treatment of pain and dysfunction.
