As your trusted home base for health, we at The Lanby are expanding the scope of primary care to enhance your physical well-being. Our involvement extends beyond providing care - it’s our responsibility to curate experiences that enlighten and empower. 

The Lanby, in partnership with IPA Physical Therapy, is thrilled to introduce a proprietary Biomechanics Assessment, designed to challenge how we perceive and optimize our movement patterns. This assessment is a cornerstone of our mission, enabling our members to gain deeper insights into their physical state and integrating those findings into their health goals.

Our members' passion for longevity is matched by their curiosity about their current state of health. Many are active, engaged in various forms of exercise and wellness practices, yet they yearn to know more. Are their efforts yielding the desired results? Are they as biomechanically optimized as they could be for their age? These questions lingered, and we saw an opportunity to provide answers.

In partnership with IPA, a premier physical therapy studio in New York, we crafted an assessment that delves deep into postural efficiency, mobility, and strength. This isn't just a cursory glance at physical well-being but a detailed exploration aimed at uncovering the nuances of each member's biomechanical health.

The How

Our scoring method is meticulous, designed to pinpoint areas of concern and track progress. This granularity allows us to tailor recommendations with precision, ensuring every member can take actionable steps towards improvement.

The assessment covers critical areas such as postural efficiency, which impacts everything from joint health to daily comfort, and mobility, essential for balance, injury prevention, and efficient movement. By analyzing these facets, we equip our members with the knowledge to enhance their physical well-being proactively.

The What

Biomechanics is the study of the mechanical aspects of our bodies - how efficiently they move, carry weight, and interact with the environment. This science holds the key to unraveling the intricacies of movement and posture, paving the way for personalized strategies to enhance physical well-being.

Key Features of the Biomechanics Assessment

Personalized Movement Analysis:

The assessment looks into the nuances of your unique movement signature, uncovering patterns that influence performance, flexibility, and potential areas of concern.

Joint Mobility and Stability Evaluation:

A detailed examination of joint mobility and stability provides insights into potential imbalances, allowing for targeted interventions to enhance overall joint health.

Posture Analysis:

An in-depth posture analysis identifies postural deviations that may contribute to discomfort or impact daily activities. This knowledge forms the basis for personalized corrective strategies.

The Why

Prevention of Injuries:

This assessment can reveal areas of weakness, imbalance, or improper movement patterns that may contribute to the risk of injuries. By addressing these issues proactively, you can reduce the likelihood of injuries during physical activities.

Improved Physical Performance:

Understanding how your body moves allows you to optimize movement patterns, making them more efficient and less energy-demanding. This can lead to improved performance in sports, exercise routines, and daily tasks.

Customized Exercise Programs:

The assessment provides information on muscle activation, joint mobility, and stability. This data allows for the development of personalized exercise programs that target specific weaknesses and enhance overall strength and conditioning.

Enhanced Posture:

Biomechanics can reveal postural deviations that may contribute to discomfort or musculoskeletal issues. By understanding and correcting these issues, you can improve your posture, reduce strain on muscles and joints, and alleviate pain.

Individualized Rehabilitation:

For individuals recovering from injuries or surgeries, biomechanics can guide rehabilitation efforts. Understanding how movement mechanics are affected allows for the development of targeted rehabilitation strategies to restore optimal function.

Efficient Movement in Daily Life:

Biomechanics helps optimize functional movements essential for daily activities. This can include tasks like lifting, bending, and reaching. Efficient biomechanics in daily life reduces the risk of strain, injury, and chronic pain.

Increased Body Awareness:

Understanding your biomechanics fosters a stronger mind-body connection. This heightened awareness allows you to move with intention, reducing the likelihood of mindless or harmful movements.

Personalized Wellness Strategies:

This assessment provides information that can inform other wellness modalities, including ergonomics at work, sleep optimization, and gut health. Understanding how these systems are interconnected will allow you to achieve your most optimal state of health.

Looking Ahead

The launch of this biomechanics assessment is more than just an addition to our services; it's a leap towards redefining what primary care should support. It embodies our belief that true health encompasses more than the absence of illness; it's about thriving, moving with ease, and enjoying life to its fullest.

We're excited to embark on this journey with our members, and we invite you to join us. Discover how optimized your biomechanics are, and let's work together towards a future where every step, every breath, and every movement is a testament to your commitment to longevity and health.

This assessment is not just a tool; it's a gateway to a deeper understanding of your body and a step towards a life lived well. Welcome to the next level of health optimization. Welcome to The Lanby.

The Biomechanics Assessment is now available exclusively for Lanby members. Please reach out to your Care Team for more information.
