Hancock Health Movement Lab at New Palestine

Unique offering provides full-body assessment and personalized plan.

Members of Hancock Wellness Centers have the potential for a significant advantage when they tee up on the links this summer.

The Hancock Health Movement Lab at New Palestine powered by DARI Motion in partnership with Move Better — Move More® offers golfers a full-body assessment that identifies motion health, mobility, performance, alignment, sway, and force … in a five-minute time frame. That assessment, generated from DARI’s markerless (no wires, sticky electrodes, or intrusive tech) solution, is then paired up with the Move Better — Move More® program that uses DARI’s data to plot a personalized path for optimal movement potential.

In the near future, this assessment will be made available to anyone seeking to target, track and improve their movement and wellness, says Joel Hungate, BME/EMBA, executive director of Hancock Well-Being and Employer Strategy. “It is the first markerless solution for human motion analysis that is available in a retail setting in Indiana,” he says.

“DARI is used by professional NBA and NFL franchises throughout the country as well as several collegiate teams. We are bringing world-class technology to our community in the spirit of maximizing the health of our Hancock County and East Central Indiana neighbors,” says Hungate.

As the Movement Lab offerings evolve, Hungate says he is excited to see how different populations integrate the technology into their wellness journeys. “Long term, we want to create an awareness of people thinking about movement as something they can track as well as improve, making movement a more mindful, purposeful process.”

Hungate is also enthusiastic about the Movement Lab meeting the community where they are — literally. “Because it is a technology-based solution, it is mobile,” he explained. “We are able to take the Movement Lab to employers, school systems, anywhere they are looking for an in-depth assessment of a group and a subsequent movement plan.”
