Understanding the problem
Pain is the symptom – not always the cause.
Knee, back, or shoulder pain often occurs because something is not functioning properly elsewhere: a weak hip, restricted foot mobility, an unfavorable movement pattern. Treating only the painful area overlooks the actual cause – and the complaints return.
A structured movement analysis makes the invisible visible.
At ToonyTherapy, we analyze how you actually move – and derive a targeted, cause-oriented treatment from this, instead of merely fighting symptoms.
Our approach
What is a movement analysis?
Movement analysis is the systematic examination of posture, movement patterns, and loading patterns. Through functional tests, gait and movement observation, and targeted screenings, we identify compensatory patterns, muscular deficits, and restricted mobility. This creates a precise picture of the causes – the foundation for an effective, individually tailored therapy.
Cause-oriented
We search for the source of the complaints – not just the location where it hurts.
Objective & structured
Standardized tests and observation provide comprehensible findings instead of gut feeling.
Foundation of therapy
From the analysis follows a targeted plan – every measure has a clear reason.
Mechanisms of Action
How does a movement analysis work – and what does it achieve?
Observation
Posture & movement patterns
Gait, everyday, and sports movements are systematically observed to make compensatory patterns and faulty loading visible.
Functional tests
Strength, mobility & control
Targeted tests reveal muscular deficits, restricted mobility, and loss of control – objectively and comparably.
Analysis
Recognize connections
We connect the individual findings into an overall picture and identify the actual cause of the complaints.
Indications
For whom is a movement analysis suitable?
Recurring complaints
Pain that keeps returning despite treatment – often a sign of an unrecognized cause.
Runners & athletes
Analysis of running and movement technique to reduce overload and injury risk.
After injury & surgery
Identify remaining compensatory patterns that prevent a complete return to loading.
Performance optimization
More efficient, economical movements for greater performance and less overload.
How treatment works
Three steps to a clear diagnosis.
01
STEP 1
History & goal clarification
We record complaints, loads, and goals – the context for a targeted analysis.
02
STEP 2
Analysis & testing
Systematic observation of posture and movement, supplemented by functional tests and screenings.
03
STEP 3
Findings & treatment plan
The results are explained clearly and translated into a concrete, cause-oriented treatment plan.
Analysis tools
Our analysis tools at a glance.
Gait analysis
Systematic observation of gait pattern to identify faulty loading and compensatory patterns.
Gait analysis
Analysis of running technique for runners – targeted against overload complaints and for greater efficiency.
Functional movement tests
Standardized tests to assess mobility, strength, and movement control.
Posture analysis
Assessment of posture and statics as a foundation for targeted interventions.
Joint & muscle function tests
Targeted individual tests precisely reveal mobility and strength deficits.
Movement control tests
Examination of neuromuscular activation and stability during functional movements.
Video-supported analysis
Recordings make movement patterns visible and comprehensible – for you and for therapy planning.
Progress monitoring
Repeated tests objectively document progress and guide therapy adjustments.
Why ToonyTherapy?
Movement analysis at an international level.
Our therapist learned and applied functional diagnostics and movement analysis in Poland, Slovakia, and England – in clinics and practices with international standards. This experience with over 15,000+ patients is incorporated into every analysis.
For us, movement analysis is not an end in itself: It is the starting point of every targeted treatment – so that we address the cause and not just the symptom.
Science & evidence
Supported by
international research.
Functional movement analysis and standardized screening procedures are established in research and practice to identify faulty loading and injury risks. Studies show that a cause-oriented, findings-based treatment is more sustainable than pure symptom treatment.
A careful analysis does not replace imaging, but provides crucial functional information that an X-ray or MRI image does not show.
Case Studies
What our patients
have experienced.
Case Study 01
Recurring knee pain – runner, 31 years
Patient with load-dependent knee pain despite multiple treatments. The gait analysis revealed weak hip stability as the cause. After targeted training: pain-free running.
Case Study 02
Chronic back pain – office worker, 40 years
Patient with recurring back pain. The movement analysis uncovered an unfavorable lifting and bending pattern. After targeted movement learning: significantly reduced complaints.
Case Study 03
Shoulder pain during sports – climber, 29 years
Patient with load-dependent shoulder pain. The analysis revealed deficits in activation and stability. After targeted control training: full load capacity restored.
