What Happens At A Onelife Screening?
Posture
You will receive a 3-dimensional postural analysis. This will be completed by one of our senior Practitioners who are specifically trained in biomechanics and structural alignment.
It has been documented that healthy postural alignment is imperative for optimal health and performance. Poor posture alignment can negatively affect body efficiency and performance. This can be best demonstrated with Olympic athletes choosing to have personal chiropractors and sports specialists to check their alignment before and after racing.
If one area is out of balance this can cause problems with your nervous system, result in adaptive changes in other tissues result in dysfunction, pain and even disability depending on the severity of the distortion.
Bilateral Weight To Gravity Analysis
Scientific research has revealed that balance is imperative for function. You only need to see what technological advances have been made with game stations to see that the high tech Wii Fit Machines make sure you check your balance before competing. And this is a game… what about real life?
One of the most important tests unique to One Life is Bilateral Weight to Gravity Analysis. Imbalances can identify problems with hip, knee and ankle joints right up to problems in the neck.
Balance and spatial stability is important in all sports and occupations. Poor balance has been correlated with injuries ranging from ankle, knee and hip problems right up to low back pain and vertigo, headaches and shoulder stiffness from poor neck function.
The screening test at One Life has potential to prevent you from suffering from all kinds of conditions.
Muscle Balance & Flexibility
It has been demonstrated in scientific literature that there is a direct relationship between muscle tightness and injury. Variations in stiffness in muscles and joints often causes compensatory changes, predisposing your to further injury.
The screening at One Life will identify those problems before they become a problem.
Muscle Strength and Power
Strength and power output is vital for any athlete or worker involved in physical activity. Whether it is squatting, jumping, throwing and sprinting to lifting and carrying, poor strength and power may limit your ability to perform these activities.
Your nervous system controls all strength and power. If you have any nerve interference, it couls significantly affect your potential strength and power. Power lifters and high performance athletes regularly get fine tuned to make sure their nervous system is firing at 100%.
For the desk worker who sits for many hours in one day, strength and power can be diminished by poor posture. Therefore, if you are planning to partake in weekend activities and prevent injury, this One Life screening will prevent you from suffering from unnecessary injury.
Speed
Many sports require explosive speed with sudden changes of direction. Poor nerve conduction can affect your speed. One Life Screening will be able to determine whether you have any potential problems limiting your speed.
Remember your nervous system is the electricity inside your body. If you require maximum speed on demand, you need to make sure that ALL power is switched on. Any slight interference will result in lowered performance.
aerobic and anaerobic fitness may cause early fatigue which may reduce protection of muscles, tendons…
Agility and quickness
Depending on the kind of activity you participate in, aerobic and anaerobic fitness levels are very important. Poor aerobic and anaerobic fitness may cause early fatigue which may reduce protection of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and bones.
Whilst there are many different tests to check your agility and quickness, the fundamental tests will be done onsite. If we require further testing, you will be referred to the appropriate practitioner or specialist at a centre of health excellence within your area.
