Every athletic injury is due to improper movement repeated numerous times or under a one-time load exceeding the tolerance of an athlete's tissues and nervous system. A proper movement assessment done by a trained professional can both proactively prevent these injuries from occuring and increase movement quality to promote the highest level of performance.
