Lower back pain and pelvic girdle pain are almost a rite of passage for many pregnant women -but the numbers might surprise you. Research shows 50–80% of women experience back pain during pregnancy, and pelvic girdle pain (PGP) affects more than half of expectant mothers, with 5–8% reporting severe pain and disability. The pain often peaks in the third trimester, thanks to hormonal changes (thankyou, Relaxin!), weight gain, and shifting posture (1).

Aging is inevitable, but how we age—and how well we move—depends on factors we can influence. After 40, both men and women experience significant hormonal changes that affect muscle strength, bone density, posture, and movement quality. These changes increase the risk of injuries and aggravate old ones. Proactive assessment of balance, posture, and movement patterns can help prevent these issues and maintain long-term health.

In today’s competitive fitness and rehab landscape, client retention is more than just good service — it’s about delivering measurable value, personalized experiences, and staying ahead of the curve. That’s where Moovment Pro, a markerless motion capture system, becomes a game-changer.
Implementing Moovment Pro is simple. All you need is a mobile device or 3D camera, and you’re ready to scan, assess, and impress.

The extent to which womens’ postures and movement patterns change after childbirth is somewhat ignored, possibly due to the fact that we do not measure the alignment and movement health of mothers until there are symptoms, if at all!

The changes are not necessarily due to pregnancy and childbirth but also the lifting and carrying that are necessary after childbirth. A proactive approach that routinely measures and prescribes personalised corrective exercise is needed - for everyone!

It is much easier to train a pain-free body, and to maintain an active lifestyle, both of which are positive for the physical and mental health of our beloved mothers.

Chiropractic is known to be a fragmented profession, but movement analysis and exercise prescription could become the one thing that different branches have in common.

Sharing is caring, and this interview with Dr. Shirley Sahrmann on the Tim Ferriss Show should be shared by anyone involved in health and wellbeing. It highlights the importance and complexity of movement quality as it relates to pain and dysfunction.

By implementing biomechanics measures, health and fitness service providers gain valuable insights into the functioning and capabilities of the human body. This innovative approach enables you to analyze various physical movements, identify potential imbalances, and tailor training plans to optimize client outcomes.

1 in 3 people have a movement dysfunction and need regular monitoring to help them self-manage and to inform their health and fitness providers. 3D is the best solution for quantifying movement patterns and balance.
