Video Analysis

Press Play Video Analysis is a unique sports medicine solution for athletes and their medical and training “team” to come to a common place in an effort to collaborate in accomplishing an athlete’s biomechanical needs.  The mission of Press Play Analysis is to “diagnose” an athlete’s biomechanical or movement dysfunction by using both video analysis of his/her sport as well as breaking down the fundamental dynamic movements to expose the weak link contributing to injury and/or decreased performance.  We use state-of-the-art Dartfish motion analysis technology to capture, edit, and analyze various sport motions to find the weak links in your body or body movement which can cause injury, pain, or suboptimal performance.  We then post the analysis with line drawings, printable key positions, and the “movie” online where the athlete can use a personalized login and password to access and download on his or her computer, CD, DVD, or share with his or her sports medicine and training “team.”

“Video analysis was a vital tool that helped Dr. Greaux diagnose an injury in my left leg. I came to Innersport with a list of symptoms, but I had no idea what had caused the initial injury. Slow motion analysis revealed what had been affected by the injury, and which muscle groups were not working efficiently. After regular visits to Innersport for ART, along with a series of prescribed exercises, I’m healthy and ready to take on the Boston Marathon.”

Benefits of Press Play Video Analysis

• Injury Prevention Through Press Play Video Analysis the athlete can learn where the weak links exist in their athletic movements.  From this information, the athlete can develop the strength and conditioning specific to their bodies, their movements, their biomechanics and their sport to decrease the risk of injury.
• Less Severe Sports Injuries While injuries can never be completely avoided, through Press Play Video Analysis, athletes will discover ways their bodies are compensating for injury and train accordingly, leading to less severe injuries.
• Recover Faster and Better The athletes will spend less time on the sidelines by positioning themselves to be as properly prepared for their sport and possible injuries that may occur. By using Press Play Video Analysis they will learn what most likely contributed to the injury and then have a plan to eliminate the weak links and compensations to make them perform better than before.
• Perform Better Press Play Video Analysis is not just a way to prevent and recover from injury, it is also a way to reach the highest levels of performance for your sport, by eliminating performance dragging restrictions, weak links, and compensations.  By developing training regimens designed specifically for an athlete’s body and sport, Press Play Video Analysis can put the athlete on the path to optimal performance.
• Coordination of Medical and Training Team Press Play Analysis has the unique ability to give an athlete’s medical and training team members ONE place to learn about the athlete’s movements, habits, performance, weak links, and compensations via a secure login and password protected site. Not only will the athlete and their team members have access to suggestions, corrective exercises, and rehabilitation advice, they will have the advantage of having more tools to able to review and make their own analysis to better treat and train the athlete.
