MotionIQ uses clinical-grade wireless sensors to measure how your spine moves - to a fraction of a degree - mapping problem areas that were once almost impossible to assess by hand.
Spinal restriction is notoriously difficult to assess by eye or by hand. Two people can have very similar pain but completely different underlying problems - and small but important losses of movement are easy to miss.
MotionIQ removes the guesswork. By capturing exactly how far, how freely and how symmetrically each part of your spine moves, we can locate the precise segment and direction that is restricted, identify asymmetries between left and right, and build a clear, measurable picture of what is actually driving your symptoms.
It's the kind of precision once reserved for elite sports science and research labs - now applied directly to assessing your spine, as a standard part of how we assess spinal problems.
The whole scan takes about a minute, and you can do it as part of a normal appointment.
Small wireless sensors are gently strapped to your neck or lower back - no wires, no discomfort.
You move through a few simple ranges of motion while the sensors record every degree in real time, at 60 frames per second.
Your movement is compared against normal ranges, flagging exactly which segments and directions are restricted.
We review the findings with you, explain what they mean, and use them to target and track your treatment.
MotionIQ uses lightweight, medical-grade wireless sensors that read spinal movement with high precision and reliability - no cables, no bulky equipment, no discomfort.
Every assessment is saved and compared over time, so you and your practitioner can see exactly how your movement is improving across your plan of care.
Example results. Individual findings vary.
MotionIQ helps us assess, diagnose and monitor a wide range of spinal conditions - including many where the underlying restriction is difficult to detect by eye.
Cervicogenic headaches driven by restricted or asymmetrical neck movement.
Disc bulges and herniations in the neck that limit how freely it moves.
Lower-back disc injuries that restrict bending, extension and rotation.
Movement restrictions linked to nerve-related leg or arm symptoms.
Abnormal spinal curvature and the movement asymmetry it creates.
Spondylosis and age-related wear that progressively stiffens the spine.
Forward slip of a vertebra affecting lower-back stability and motion.
Loss of motion following trauma, measured and tracked through recovery.
Long-standing neck and back pain where restriction is hard to see by eye.
MotionIQ is a motion-capture assessment system that uses small wireless sensors to measure exactly how your spine moves, with sub-degree accuracy. It gives us objective data to pinpoint and track spinal problems that are hard to measure by hand.
No. Small wireless sensors are gently strapped to the skin over your spine. There are no needles, no radiation and no discomfort, and the whole scan takes under a minute.
It is used for headaches and migraines, cervical and lumbar disc disorders, sciatica, scoliosis, degenerative spine conditions, spondylolisthesis, whiplash and chronic neck or back pain, among others.
X-rays and MRIs show the structure of your spine at rest. MotionIQ measures how your spine actually moves, revealing functional restrictions that static images can miss. It complements, rather than replaces, medical imaging.
No referral is needed. You can book directly with Absolute Health, and we can include a MotionIQ assessment as part of your appointment.
Same-day appointments are often available at our Mooloolaba and Nambour clinics. Book online in under a minute, or give us a call.
