Frequently Asked Questions

Why do militarys need a biomechanical assessment?
Military work creates specific biomechanical demands that accumulate over time. The protocol assesses Hip Internal Rotation, Hip External Rotation, Ankle Dorsiflexion to identify occupational strain patterns before they become injuries.
What does the Military protocol address?
The protocol targets the 3 most common biomechanical issues in military work, with 3 corrective priorities and occupation-specific exercises.
How do I get started with the Military protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Military protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.
