Kinesthetic Assessment at Chiva-Som Health Resort, Destination Spa in Thailand

Aug. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- Chiva-Som’s physiotherapists have many years experience in treating all kinds of problems.  However, the body is a complicated series of mechanisms, and of course each one is unique.  That is why before each treatment we give our guests a full Kinesthetic Assessment.  Because the procedure provides valuable information it is useful also as a preventative measure, whether or not you are currently suffering from pain.

Kinesthetic Assessment uses sophisticated muscle testing skills to diagnose your body.  It monitors spine alignment and the way you move, and locates muscle imbalances and joint problems.  The procedure works through your body’s performance in areas you use in everyday life.  These are: posture, flexibility, stability, coordination, muscular tone and performance.

Following assessment, your physiotherapist will give you a written report on the condition of these areas and how well are able to function in harmony.  Kinesthetic Assessment is crucial to understanding your individual physical state and identifying the causes that contribute to pain.

Sports related injuries and other accidents aside, most of the aches and pains we get - at whatever stage of life - are due to repetitive strain or prolonged periods of unbalanced movement through poor posture or inflexibility.  Working long hours at the computer is a common cause of problems, but so is the way you walk, sit or stand.

After the assessment, your physiotherapist will advise on the type of exercise and therapeutic sessions you need to correct the imbalances in your body, so you can treat discomfort or avoid future problems and remain pain free.
