AH Active Health Performance Lab

An Annual Physical For How You Move

The Movement Physical

You check your bloodwork every year. You should also know whether your hips, shoulders, spine, and strength are holding up.

Built for active adults 55 and over.

Most of the people we see in the Performance Lab are doing the right things. They walk, they lift, they travel, they still play tennis or golf or chase grandkids around. What they rarely have is an objective look at how their body actually moves under the load they ask of it. Bloodwork, scans, and medication response cover the inside. The Movement Physical covers the way you carry yourself through your day.

The gap

Why this exists

Lab work tells you a lot. It does not tell you whether your hips rotate, whether one shoulder gave up, whether one leg is quietly carrying the other, or whether your back is ready for the trip you've already booked.

Function decline is slow. It hides until something snaps. By the time someone notices, they've already lost months of training and started avoiding the activities they love. We measure the same axes every year so that decline shows up as a number on a page long before it shows up as a problem in your life.

What we measure

The full panel

Thirty minutes. Same tester every time. Same equipment, same order, same thresholds. That's how the numbers stay comparable year over year.

Joint Range of Motion

Hips, shoulders, spine, ankles. Side-by-side angles. Where the body has stopped asking for room it used to have.

Side-to-Side Strength

Handheld dynamometry across the major muscle groups. The number on the weak side is the one that matters.

Movement Quality

Squat, hinge, step, push, pull, rotate. How well the body organizes itself when asked to produce force.

Training Readiness

Resting heart rate, recovery snapshot, and the load your body can absorb today. Not what you used to handle. What you handle now.

Year-Over-Year Change

The whole point. We compare your numbers to your last set, not to a population average. You are the control group.

Plan and Retest Date

One clear training direction. One date on the calendar to come back and prove it worked.

Who it's for

Built for the way you actually live

  • Active adults 55+ who want a baseline before decline forces a decision
  • Golfers, travelers, runners, lifters, skiers, and tennis players who plan to keep doing the thing
  • People with normal labs and clean imaging who still feel old when they move
  • Patients on a GLP-1 who need to hold onto strength while the scale drops
  • Post-PT or post-surgical patients who finished formal rehab and still don't trust the joint
  • Executives who already buy annual testing and want the physical-function layer
What you receive

The report stack

Three documents. One picture of your body this year.

  • Your Movement Physical Report. A readable summary of your top findings, biggest restrictions, strength balance, and what to train next. Built for you, not for a chart.
  • Optional one-page Function Snapshot. A concise summary you can send to your physician. Primary finding, key restriction, strength gap, training direction, retest date. Shared only with your written permission.
  • Year-over-year comparison. Starting at your second visit, every report shows what's changed since last time. Motion held. Motion lost. Strength gained. Strength leaked.
For your concierge or primary physician

A physical-function baseline for patients who already track everything else.

Most concierge and longevity-focused practices already cover bloodwork, imaging, body composition, and medication response. The piece that rarely gets measured is musculoskeletal function. Joint motion. Side-to-side strength. Movement control. Training readiness.

With your written permission, we send your physician a one-page Function Snapshot. It's not a medical diagnosis and it's not a treatment plan. It's a measured profile they can use to round out the picture they already have.

How it works

Three steps. Once a year.
