Mijatovic PT - Assessment
Before a single rep is programmed, we need to understand how you actually move. Most programs are built on assumptions. This one is not.
Most training programs are built on assumptions. Assumed mobility. Assumed mechanics. Assumed that what feels right is actually right. Those assumptions are why people train hard for months and wonder why nothing is changing - or why something keeps getting injured.
Someone thinks their squat is a leg strength problem. It is actually an ankle dorsiflexion deficit. Someone thinks their shoulder hurts because they trained too hard. It is actually an internal rotation deficit causing impingement. The diagnosis changes everything. And the diagnosis requires someone who actually looks.
This consultation exists to remove the guesswork entirely.
This is not a questionnaire or a conversation. Every movement is performed, filmed, and analysed. Joint angles are recorded. Nothing is estimated or assumed.
In 30 to 45 minutes, every major joint and movement pattern is assessed hands-on. You are not describing how you move. We are watching, recording, and measuring exactly how you move.
The assessment is fully hands-on. Movements are guided, corrected, and retested. Compensations are identified - the strategies your body has developed to work around restrictions it has learned to live with.
Everything found in the assessment feeds directly into your program. Limitations become notes. Restrictions shape your warm-ups. Deficits inform your accessory work and mobility routines. Nothing discovered in this room is forgotten by the time your program is written.
Most PTs skip this entirely. They ask how you train, watch a squat, and start writing. The result is a program built on the same assumptions that produced the problem in the first place.
This assessment is what makes the program actually work for your body - not a generic version of it.
Six categories. Every major movement the body performs. Assessed systematically, in order, with nothing skipped and nothing assumed.
The assessment is only half of it. What matters is what happens with the information. Every limitation identified becomes a direct input into how your program is built - not a note that gets forgotten.
You leave this session understanding your body in a way most people never do. And your program reflects that understanding from day one.
Book a consultation and the movement assessment is the first thing we do. Before any programming. Before any sessions. Before any assumptions.
