Start with the clinical question.
Daniel selects the examination and movement tests that help investigate your goals and concerns. Technology is used when it adds information the hands and eyes cannot, and it earns its place per visit rather than appearing by default. A measurement that does not change the plan is theater; the ones below change plans regularly.
What force measurement adds
Every unit of clubhead speed originates as force against the ground, and a systematic review of 24 studies links ground reaction force and pressure measures directly to clubhead speed and skill level. Force plates show how hard you push, when, and where your pressure travels through the swing, which is invisible on video and answers questions like whether lost distance is a capacity problem or a timing problem. What force plates reveal that video cannot covers the evidence and the honest limits.
Video and swing data in context
Slow motion video shows the shapes; launch data shows the outcome; the movement screen and examination explain why. The most useful sessions combine them: a swing characteristic on video, checked against the physical screen that predicts it, confirmed or cleared by examination. That is the body-swing connection working as a method rather than a slogan, and it is why measurements here always sit inside an evaluation instead of replacing one. Sequencing measurements get the same treatment, including the documented reasons to read a kinematic sequence graph skeptically.
Know what is included.
The standard evaluation includes your medical and movement assessment, explanation of findings, written report and personalized exercises. If your visit will include additional measurements or simulator work, we explain those arrangements before booking, and the $475 option includes the agreed coach session and facility use at The Forge.
Understand the measurements, and retest them.
Findings are interpreted alongside your history, symptoms and examination, and Daniel explains what was measured and how it affects the recommendations. Because the measurements produce numbers, a reassessment answers the only question that matters about any program: did it work? Where reassessment is useful, comparable measurements review progress honestly over time. See how the evaluation works ↗
