- What is a movement assessment?
- A movement assessment analyses how your body moves through fundamental patterns — squatting, reaching overhead, single-leg balance — to identify restrictions, asymmetries, and compensations. Allium uses your phone camera and MediaPipe pose detection to score your movement, then combines that data with your health history to produce a personalised recommendation.
- How accurate is 2D pose analysis?
- 2D pose analysis from a single camera angle captures gross movement patterns reliably — squat depth, lateral drift, shoulder range — but cannot measure joint angles with the precision of a clinical 3D motion capture system. Allium uses it as a screening tool, not a diagnostic one. It identifies patterns worth investigating, not definitive diagnoses.
- What modalities does Allium cover?
- Allium covers 11 movement-health modalities: physical therapy, acupuncture, qi gong, strength training, massage therapy, mobility and stretching, dry needling, cold therapy, cupping, red light therapy, and sauna. Each is scored based on your movement data, regions of concern, and goals.
- Is Allium a medical service?
- No. Allium provides educational content and personalised synthesis, not medical advice. The assessment identifies movement patterns and suggests modalities to explore — it does not diagnose conditions or replace a licensed clinician.
