Proteus Motion
Proteus Motion at Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy Encinitas
Our new Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy Encinitas office offers patients a very special and effective training tool, Proteus Motion. This system is the first to measure strength and power in 3 different dimensions.
Multiple pieces of equipment such as free weights and cable machines can only provide forces in 1 or 2 dimensions. With Proteus Motion individuals can benefit from 3D resistance which adapts to directly counter any movement, so the resistance stays constant through the entire movement.
Proteus Strength and Power Testing Program
Our Proteus Strength and Power Testing Program is tailored for anyone wanting to optimize their strength and enhance their athletic performance. This program provides objective data for performance training and a baseline benchmarking for power, strength, and speed. Proteus testing is second to none when it comes to measuring strength imbalances on one side of your body verses the other. With the ability to perform any movement, in any direction with constant 3D resistance throughout, any sport related movement for testing is possible. Testing is versatile as you can modify it to test for one handed or two-handed sport specific movements.
This testing is great for trunk and shoulder stability, leg strength, back injuries, and more. Whether you are a pitcher, a golfer, or someone who is into general fitness and seeks data informed training, this program is the perfect supplement to elevate your performance. Any athlete (youth, collegiate, rec-level, or elite) are all good candidates. Sports teams, coaches, and personal trainers can benefit from this as well.
Proteus testing will be monitored by a trained Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) or a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA). Initial Evaluations will take around 60 minutes. Your DPT or PTA will guide you through the testing, go over your test results and then prescribe you with an exercise packet which correlates with your test results. Exercise packets can be designed for individuals who wish to work on their prescribed program on their own or in a gym. We can also customize exercise packets for those who would like to pursue follow up training and retesting with us on the Proteus. If this option is desired, it is a great way to track your progress.
There are several different programs to choose from.

You can adjust resistance on the fly with Freestyle Training, explore a library of warm up and daily routine sessions in Workout Training, and measure and track your strength in Performance Testing. By using the Performance Testing you can test which side of the body that needs improvement in strength. This fantastic piece of equipment can be used to enhance multiple different body parts for individuals of all ages.
