Biomechanics
Sports biomechanics
Biomechanics is the study of human movement to improve our daily lives and athletic performance, as well as prevent injuries. Our detailed analyses help identify imbalances and improper movement patterns, which can improve efficiency, posture, and reduce the risk of injury for patients.
During the visit the following are assessed:
- Posture analysis
- Walking and running assessment
- Joint and muscle movements
- Diagnosis and treatment proposal
- Analysis and advice on sports footwear
After the visit, the patient receives a comprehensive evaluation and personalized recommendations, as well as individualized treatment options.
Biomechanics
Biomechanics of walking
Biomechanical studies help both athletes and non-athletes. Imbalances exist in all bodies, regardless of the physical activity they perform; and many discomforts arise in everyday life, whether walking, working, or even at rest.
Understanding these imbalances through biomechanics helps us apply effective treatments to resolve them.
Biomechanics
Cycling biomechanics
Cycling biomechanics is the study of movement on the bicycle, as well as the position in which we sit on it. The goal of this type of biomechanics is to improve athletic performance, reduce discomfort while pedaling, avoid any abnormalities in movement or posture, and prevent future injuries.
We work with the new STT System 3DMA, which captures optical movement, correct pedaling, and studies the bicycle in 360°. Thanks to this technology, we can collect full-body biomechanical data in real time, and then accurately calculate the final bicycle adjustments to compensate for imbalances.
During the visit, the following are assessed:
- Posture analysis
- Movement assessment
- Joint and muscle movements
- Bike adjustments
- Cycling footwear analysis and advice
After the visit, the patient is given a detailed and personalized report.

Biomechanics of 2 bicycles
If you have two different types of bikes, you can analyze your riding biomechanics with both models. Imbalances on your bike can also lead to poor posture while riding, and cause injuries and pain over time. That’s why it’s important to adjust and prepare them to get the most out of your rides.
Biomechanics
Placing cleats
The cleats on your cycling shoes are a key component of your biomechanics, performance, and comfort on the bike. Changing their position can make the difference between pedaling with power and fluidity or accumulating discomfort that, over time, can turn into injury.
