Biomechanics
Small inefficiencies in how your body handles load add up to strain and injury over time. Biomechanical analysis with Urvashi Barbhaya, RPT, OCS, looks at how you move to reduce strain and prevent recurring problems.
How your body handles load
Biomechanics examines the forces acting on your body as you move — how you walk, run, lift, or repeat a task. When load is distributed poorly, certain tissues take more strain than they should, which can lead to pain or recurring injury. Analysis can help with:
- Recurring or hard-to-shake injuries
- Pain that returns with certain activities
- Running, walking, or gait concerns
- Movement efficiency for work or sport
- Reducing strain on overloaded areas
From analysis to change
Once the mechanics behind your symptoms are clear, care targets them with specific strengthening, technique adjustments, and practical changes that redistribute load more evenly — addressing the cause of recurring problems.
What to expect
Your assessment includes observing the movements relevant to your symptoms. From there, your plan focuses on the specific adjustments most likely to reduce strain and keep the problem from returning.

What does a biomechanical assessment involve?
It involves observing how you move through relevant tasks — such as walking, running, or a repeated activity — to identify where load is causing strain, then addressing it.
Can this help an injury that keeps coming back?
Often, yes. Recurring injuries frequently trace back to how load is handled during movement, and correcting that addresses the underlying cause.
Do I need a referral?
In California you can begin physical therapy without a physician's referral. Some insurance plans require one for coverage, so check with your provider.
