ViMove™ is a wireless sensor technology that can be used to measure a wide range of human movement.
Wearable motion and muscle activity sensors are used to record movement and this information is then transmitted directly to a computer for . This data provides visual, objective and easily interpreted information which our physiotherapist can use during an assessment to prescribe the most effective treatment option.
Our clients love to see how their bodies move on the screen, it gives them visual feedback on their problem area which helps them to understand more. They also find it very useful to see the difference in their body movement on reassessment after treatment, usually giving themselves a pat on the back for all their hard work doing their exercises.

What Is a ViMove Assessment?
A ViMove Assessment uses advanced wireless sensor technology to analyse how your body moves during everyday activities, exercise and rehabilitation. Unlike a visual assessment alone, ViMove provides accurate, objective data about your movement patterns, muscle activity and biomechanics, helping your physiotherapist identify problems that may not be visible to the naked eye.
At One2One Physiotherapy, ViMove assessments allow us to measure movement in real time, giving both you and your physiotherapist a clear understanding of how your body is functioning. This information helps us develop a personalised treatment programme designed to improve movement, reduce pain and prevent future injuries.
Frequently Asked Questions About ViMove Assessments in Bridgend
A ViMove assessment is an advanced movement analysis that uses wearable wireless sensors to measure how your body moves. The system provides objective data on movement patterns and muscle activity, helping physiotherapists identify biomechanical problems that may be contributing to pain, reduced performance or injury.
Small wireless sensors are placed on the body to record movement and muscle activity while you perform everyday movements or specific exercises. The data is transmitted instantly to a computer, allowing your physiotherapist to analyse your movement in real time and explain the results using easy-to-understand visual feedback.
ViMove assessments can be used to assess a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Lower back pain
- Neck pain
- Knee pain
- Hamstring injuries
- Sports injuries
- Running-related injuries
- Movement dysfunction
- Rehabilitation following injury
- Biomechanical problems
Your physiotherapist will determine whether a ViMove assessment is appropriate for your condition.
A ViMove assessment provides objective information that cannot always be identified through observation alone. It helps your physiotherapist accurately assess movement patterns, monitor progress during rehabilitation and develop a treatment programme based on measurable data rather than assumptions.
ViMove helps identify abnormal movement patterns that may be contributing to pain or injury. While it forms an important part of your assessment, your physiotherapist will combine the results with a clinical examination and medical history to reach an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Yes. ViMove is commonly used during running assessments to analyse running biomechanics, cadence, symmetry, ground contact time and movement efficiency. This information can help improve running technique and reduce the risk of injury.
During your appointment, your physiotherapist will place lightweight wireless sensors on the relevant area of your body. You'll then be asked to perform a series of movements while the system records detailed information about how your body moves. Your physiotherapist will explain the results and discuss the most appropriate treatment options.
Yes. One of the biggest benefits of ViMove is that the results are displayed visually, allowing you to see exactly how your body is moving. Many patients find this helps them better understand their condition and stay motivated throughout their rehabilitation.
Most ViMove assessments take approximately 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being assessed and whether treatment is provided during the appointment.
At One2One Physiotherapy, we combine advanced ViMove technology with expert clinical assessment to provide a detailed understanding of how your body moves. This allows us to create highly personalised rehabilitation programmes that help reduce pain, improve movement and support long-term recovery.
