Biomechanical Problems

Biomechanics refers to the internal and external forces acting on the human body that result in movement. When a biomechanical issue is present, it can increase the risk of injury to skeletal muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. These problems stem from abnormal movement patterns and the body's impaired ability to respond effectively to these forces. Physiotherapy can help identify and correct biomechanical abnormalities, reducing the risk of future injuries. For athletes, such issues can be particularly disruptive—affecting performance and participation. To arrange an appointment or learn more, please contact us or call +65 81535374.

Biomechanical Injuries Commonly Treated by Our Physiotherapists at acephysiosports.com

Injury risk varies depending on the sporting activity involved. When biomechanics are abnormal, they can overload structures not built to withstand such stress. This often leads to injury. Common biomechanical injuries include:

Repetitive injuries (Lateral Epicondylitis, Medial Epicondylitis and Achilles Tendinopathy)

Traumatic injuries (Fractures, Muscle Strain and Ligament Sprains)

Ankle instability caused by poor biomechanics can be improved through structured strength training.

When biomechanics are impaired, the body may respond incorrectly to movement or external forces, placing strain on joints and bones. This faulty response often contributes to injuries, which may arise due to:

Muscle imbalance (strength and length)
Poor technique
Poor posture
Faulty equipment (poor fitting running shoes)

Biomechanics and Physiotherapy

Biomechanical function may be disrupted by small but significant abnormalities in muscle control or flexibility. The team at acephysiosports.com specialises in detecting and correcting these issues, helping clients regain natural movement, improve performance, and stay injury-free.

A range of physiotherapy treatments is available to manage biomechanical issues. At acephysiosports.com, our experienced physiotherapists may implement techniques such as:

Strengthening exercises
Stretching exercises
Electrotherapy
Joint mobilisations
Movement re-education
Massage

An experienced physiotherapist will tailor the treatment based on the nature, site, and severity of the biomechanical dysfunction.
