On this episode of Performance Talk, Dr. Ewell Gordon welcomes Andrew Menter — athlete, innovator, and CEO of Physmodo — to dive into the intersection of personal pain and cutting-edge performance tech. After years of competing at a high level in tennis, rugby, and Ironman events, Andrew’s body hit a wall — and the recovery process exposed a glaring gap in how we assess movement and prevent injury.
That gap became the mission: create a fast, objective, and accessible way to screen for dysfunction before it becomes injury. The result? Physmodo, a powerful yet simple tool that uses motion capture to analyze movement in real time — and help coaches, clinicians, and individuals get proactive about mobility, stability, and alignment.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone serious about human performance, recovery, or simply moving better for life.
Key Takeaways:
- From Athlete to Architect: How Andrew’s own injuries laid the foundation for a smarter way to screen movement.
- Why Movement Matters: The deep squat as a diagnostic powerhouse — and why it reveals so much about how you move.
- The Tech Side of Movement: How AI and 3D motion capture are reshaping how we approach injury prevention and performance.
- Scalability in Action: The beauty of Physmodo is in its simplicity — quick screens, no wearables, no guesswork.
- Posture = Pattern: Exploring the connection between long-term posture, movement patterns, and chronic dysfunction.
- More Than Athletes: Why this matters for everyone — from youth sports to corporate wellness to aging adults.
- The Future of Movement Screening: What’s next in the space — and how data is driving a more informed approach to health and performance.
