What is the 3D movement scan, and how does it work?

The 3D movement scan is a noninvasive tool that uses infrared camera and sensor technology to assess your posture, balance, movement quality, and range of motion. While you perform simple movements, the system creates a detailed visualization of how your body functions, helping your provider detect weaknesses and imbalances.

How can I benefit from the 3D movement scan?

The scan helps identify the source of pain and highlights areas at risk for future injury. By spotting imbalances early, your provider can create a personalized treatment plan to correct harmful movement patterns, reduce pain, and prevent ankle, knee, hip, or spine issues before they worsen.

What happens during my 3D movement scan appointment?

You’ll wear comfortable, close-fitting clothing (barefoot, with hair secured) and perform a few basic movements while the infrared camera scans your body. The process usually takes about 15 minutes. Afterward, you and your provider review the results, and a tailored plan is built to address your goals. Follow-up scans track progress and ensure your program is working.
