Intrinsic biomechanics focuses on the body's internal systems—how muscles, joints, nerves, and connective tissues interact to produce movement. Unlike traditional biomechanical approaches that often assess movement from an external perspective, intrinsic biomechanics looks at the deeper neuromuscular factors that influence motion quality.

By incorporating intrinsic biomechanics into MSK education, professionals gain a more refined understanding of how movement dysfunctions develop. These dysfunctions often start as subtle imbalances within the nervous and musculoskeletal systems before manifesting as pain, stiffness, or injuries. Addressing these intrinsic factors allows for a more preventative approach to MSK care rather than just managing symptoms after an issue arises.
