Welcome EuMotus!

Anderson Peak Performance is proud to announce our new testing system, the new Motion Analysis Technology EuMotus! We will be the FIRST New York City practice to offer this new technology.

EuMotus BodyWatch, the first of its kind in computerised movement and analysis

BodyWatch™ by EuMotus is a software and hardware solution that combines proprietary cutting-edge algorithms with the latest infrared-powered motion-tracking technology. Harnessing the power of the Microsoft Kinect, a powerful 3D sensor, BodyWatch™ records the movement of over 20 body joints in real time (no markers needed) and analyzes the biomechanics of more than 35 key body metrics.

The benefits of BodyWatch™ by EuMotus

Recover better with data. Anderson Peak Performance combines incredible experience and expertise with large amounts of accurate and objective data to give you the best results. By analyzing exact ranges of motion, measures of stability, and symmetry, we pinpoint lingering deficiencies that can block your movement patterns, slow your recovery progress, and potentially cause additional injury. Armed with this information, Anderson Peak Performance can elevate your functional health to a whole new level.

Faster assessment and more focused treatment. Traditional assessments can take a significant part of the precious time you have with us at Anderson Peak Performance. BodyWatch™ minimizes the amount of time spent on the assessment, thanks to its cutting-edge infrared sensor and algorithms. Anderson Peak Performance can now get a full analysis of your functional health in just a few minutes and spend more time treating you. No more time wasted.

Understand yourself on a whole new level. BodyWatch™ is designed to empower not just the Anderson Peak Performance practice, but also yourself. Have you ever felt lost when talking with a health or fitness professional about your body movement and structure? BodyWatch™ makes understanding your specific movement patterns easy, with simple scoring methods, clear visuals, and video playback. With this knowledge, you will find yourself more engaged with your chiropractor. You’ll better understand your recovery program and its rationale, and you’ll even find yourself more aware of how you move in your day to day and find ways to optimize it!
