Ninety minutes of measurement in the lab in Northbrook. Strength, joint control, and movement, left against right, written down. Then a 12-week program built from what the numbers say, delivered within 48 hours.
Most training plans get written before anyone measures anything. Mine start the other way around.
Hip, shoulder, and trunk strength with handheld dynamometry. Every test runs left and right so the gap between sides is a number, not a feeling.
Each major joint moves through its full range on its own, without help from the joints next to it. Each one gets a score. The lowest score usually explains the most.
sEMG biofeedback shows which muscles fire during a task and which ones stay quiet when they should be working, like a neck that helps with every breath.
How the ribs expand and how the trunk stabilizes under load. Five minutes of breath work can change the hip numbers on the spot, and that response shapes the program.
Squat, hinge, and the patterns from your sport or training, watched for where the load drifts and which side does the work.
Resting heart rate and heart rate variability at the start of the visit, so the retest at week 12 has a fair comparison.
A number only matters if it is bigger than the noise. So every result gets sorted before it steers anything.
The same rule applies to range of motion in degrees. I don't chase small differences, and the program never gets built on a number that could vanish on a retest.
One page. Every joint and every strength pair scored, the biggest gap named, and what it means for what you do.
Every number from the visit, both sides, with the reasoning that connects them to the plan.
Three phases, one link. Each exercise carries its cues, its prescription, and a timer. Every exercise traces back to a number from your assessment.
If you are 55 or older and want an annual baseline rather than a program, The Movement Physical is the 30-minute version built for that.

A few questions by email so the 90 minutes go to testing, not paperwork.
Ninety minutes with me. Both sides, every test, written down as we go.
Within 48 hours. Then 12 weeks of work, and we run the same tests again.
