What is movement retraining?
Movement retraining is essential to address the underlying functional issues and clear up any movement problems that arise after injury. Even if poor movement patterns did not exist prior to a person’s injury, they often show up afterward.
Movement retraining is the process of learning how to perform specific movement patterns in a progressive manner in order to restore full and pain-free function. Movement retraining techniques are essential for rehabilitating almost every condition Orthopedic Sports Therapy’s physical therapists treat.
Faulty movement patterns commonly contribute to peoples’ injuries. Poor body mechanics lead to pain and injury in the first place. With Movement Retraining, our physical therapists can help correct your movement patterns.

We focus on functional movement, multi-dimensional kinetic chain patterns, and breaking the movement down into pieces, which are then progressively relearned in the corrected pattern.
