What Is Health & Movement Assessment?
Every treatment at That Muscle Guy begins with a thorough assessment. Shaun takes a detailed health history, screens your movement patterns, and assesses your posture, strength and joint mechanics before a single treatment technique is applied.
Assessment is not a one-off box-ticking exercise. Movement is re-evaluated at each session to track progress objectively and adjust the treatment plan as your body responds. Treatment decisions are built on top of it.
Key Benefits
- Comprehensive health history and symptom mapping
- Postural analysis and movement pattern screening
- Identifies the true cause, not just where it hurts
- Forms the foundation for every treatment decision
- Prevents unnecessary treatment on the wrong structures
- Ongoing re-assessment tracks real progress over time
What to Expect in Your Session
- Your history: what is happening, when it started, what makes it better or worse, and your training or work demands.
- Movement and posture screening to see how you move, where you compensate and what is restricted.
- Hands-on testing of strength, joint mechanics and tissue sensitivity.
- A clear explanation of what Shaun has found and the treatment plan that follows.
- Re-assessment at each visit so you and Shaun can see what is changing.
Who It Suits
- Anyone with pain or stiffness that has not settled on its own
- People who have had treatment before but never found the cause
- Active people and athletes managing training load or recurring niggles
- Anyone who wants a clear plan rather than guesswork
Good to Know
The assessment is part of every session rather than a separate booking. Where findings suggest something outside the scope of myotherapy, Shaun will refer you on to the appropriate medical practitioner.
