Welcome to a very unique system of analysis and treatment for sport performance! Dr. Almon has attained innovative analysis and treatment approaches which instantly identify and correct dysfunctions that lead to weak links in the kinetic chain. Weak links allow "energy leaks" or inefficient patterns of movement which waste the directional force needed to propel the the body in various sporting activities. These weak links allow the joints to be susceptible to injury due to the decreased stability of the joint while it is stressed. Because every athlete is unique in training methods, techniques and practice, different patterns of overuse injuries arise. Unfortunately for some, muscle inhibitions allow injuries to occur, and without the proper activation of these muscles, full recovery will not occur. However, these overuse injuries can be tracked back through the body to the original or group of original injuries and dysfunctions that allow the domino effect of compensations to manifest. In detecting this chain reaction, the original dysfunctions and subsequent compensations can be regulated and allow the body's framework and the brain's motor patterning to regain proper form. So, in approaching your concern, the doctor may find dysfunctions far from the site of injury that aid in silencing the pain signal sent to the brain from the body and restoring function to the muscles, joints and re-establishing proper motor patterns while strengthening the kinetic chain.
