Biomechanical Functionality.

What is biomechanical functionality?

Definition of Biomechanical:
'Biomechanics is the study of the structure and function of the mechanical aspects of biological systems...' Wikipedia

Definition of Functionality:
'The quality of being suited to serve a purpose well; practicality.' oxforddictionaries.com

When we use the term 'biomechanical functionality', we are talking about the quality of movement
of the human structure and how well it is able to serve the purpose required of it.

For mobility, a person requires their body to have strength, balance and flexibility. The loss of any one of these qualities will restrict a person's ability to be mobile without assistance and, therefore, it will restrict their independence.

Inspiration.

One of the things we want to offer at this website is inspiration.
If you are willing to invest your resources into your health and wellbeing, there is so much that you can do and achieve, even in your later years.
Over the weeks and months, we will post more great examples of high level biomechanical functionality.
Surfing is a great example of strength balance and flexibility working in harmony.
