Frequently Asked Questions

Why do factory / assembly lines need a biomechanical assessment?
Factory / Assembly Line work creates specific biomechanical demands that accumulate over time. The protocol assesses Thoracic Extension, Cervical Flexion Extension, Hip Flexion Active to identify occupational strain patterns before they become injuries.
What does the Factory / Assembly Line protocol address?
The protocol targets the 3 most common biomechanical issues in factory / assembly line work, with 3 corrective priorities and occupation-specific exercises.
How do I get started with the Factory / Assembly Line protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Factory / Assembly Line protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.
