Clinical Assessment Of Individual Looking To Qualify For Olympic Trials

We are so lucky to have Nicole Armbrust as our Director Of Clinical Education! Nicole Armbrust, PT, MSPT, OCS, FAFS, is a physical therapist who had been practicing in an orthopedic clinical setting for the past 14 years. Her specialty focus on runners and movement analysis allowed her to understand how poor technique will cause an injury. Instead of using traditional methods that often isolate one area, Nicole views the entire body as a series of chain reactions that occur with running.

Individual came into our myoMETRICS lab to get a Clinical Assessment (please click on link) from Nicole. This person is looking to qualify for the Olympic Trials in 2016. It is a wonderful video! Don’t miss it!

LIFE Students at Noraxon 2015 Biomechanics Symposium

Three students from Life University’s Doctor of Chiropractic Program recently traveled to the Noraxon 2015 Biomechanics Symposium. The symposium was held in the biomechanics lab of Dr. Nick Studholme, a Denver, Colorado sports chiropractor. Life U’s Center for Chiropractic Research got their force-sensor treadmill and motion capture system from Noraxon, a company specializing in biomechanical analysis methods for clinical and research use. Students Mike Weiner, Jonathan Bryson (“Bryson”) and Lori Beth Bryson (“LB”), accompanied by Dr. Brent Russell, learned more about measurement of forces during walking, joint angles during movement and many more topics. Other attendees included biomechanics and health professionals from Arizona, California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Germany and South Africa. Expect to see some interesting research coming from these folks in the future!

What an incredible testimonial from Sarah at Sloane Stecker for Noraxon!

“I was referred to visit Sloane Stecker from a friend who had received therapy at his Irvington (Westchester) office. They just opened this new renovated studio on the 15th Floor with high tech equipment, sweeping views, and personalized one-on-one attention. As a runner, the Noraxon Gait and Running analysis helped show me how I was running incorrectly and causing pain to my knees. Sloane showed me how to shift weight onto my mid foot, strengthening the muscles in my hips, ankles and core. I then was able to practice the new technique on the Alter-G (Anti-Gravity) Treadmill. I look forward to my next visit and getting back to 100% for my next race!”
