Data-driven performance and rehabilitation for Saudi athletes and active individuals.
Why Sports Injuries Are on the Rise in Saudi Arabia
As sports participation increases across Saudi Arabia, so do preventable injuries. From amateur runners in Riyadh to fitness enthusiasts in Dammam, many experience recurring joint pain, muscle strain, or movement limitations caused by poor biomechanics or training overload.
At MetaMotion™ Clinic, we use biomechanical screening, 3D motion capture, and sensor-based gait analysis to detect injury risks before they occur. Our goal is simple — to help athletes move better, recover faster, and stay injury-free through precise, measurable insights.
The Role of Biomechanics in Injury Prevention
Biomechanics is the science of how your body moves. By analysing how your muscles, joints, and bones interact during motion, our clinicians can identify inefficiencies and asymmetries that lead to strain or fatigue.
Key biomechanical factors linked to injury include:
- Hip or pelvic imbalance affecting stride or jump landing.
- Poor foot alignment increasing ankle and knee stress.
- Core weakness altering running form or posture.
- Muscle activation timing delays during repetitive movements.
Understanding these metrics allows our physiotherapists to personalise strength, mobility, and rehabilitation programmes – optimising movement mechanics and protecting the body against injury recurrence.
Sensor Technology: Objective Data for Smarter Decisions
At MetaMotion™ Clinic, we integrate IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensors designed in the UK and Canada for wireless, real-time movement capture.
These lightweight sensors provide instant feedback during assessment or rehabilitation. They measure acceleration, angular velocity, and movement quality – translating complex biomechanical data into intuitive performance dashboards.
How IMU assessments help you:
- Detect early signs of fatigue or overload.
- Compare left vs. right limb symmetry in real time.
- Track improvement through quantitative progress reports.
- Monitor motion remotely during rehabilitation or training.
Our sensor system delivers over 18,000 motion data points in just one session – empowering athletes and coaches to act on evidence, not assumption.
Common Sports Injuries We Help Prevent
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) strain or tear
- Hamstring and quadriceps injuries
- Rotator cuff shoulder pain
- Stress fractures and repetitive load injuries
- Tendonitis and overuse syndromes
Using biomechanical insights, our clinicians identify underlying causes and create custom rehabilitation plans that reduce reinjury risk and improve athletic performance.
Why Saudi Athletes Choose MetaMotion™ Clinic
- Clinically validated technology using 3D gait and IMU motion capture.
- Sports-specific analysis for runners, gym users, and team athletes.
- Trusted by over 25,000+ patients across Riyadh and Dammam.
- Personalised recovery plans integrating physiotherapy and motion re-education.
Our approach blends advanced biomechanics with local clinical expertise, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030’s focus on health, wellness, and active living.
Real Results from Motion-Based Screening
A semi-professional footballer in Dammam experiencing chronic hamstring tightness underwent IMU-based analysis. The data revealed delayed hip extension timing during sprint acceleration – a risk factor for recurring strain.
After six weeks of targeted movement correction and real-time sensor feedback, the athlete returned to training symptom-free.
This measurable, data-driven outcome is at the core of MetaMotion™ Clinic’s philosophy: prevent first, perform better.
When to Book a Biomechanical Assessment
- You should consider a biomechanical or sensor-based analysis if you:
- Have a recurring or unexplained sports injury.
- Want to improve running efficiency or gym performance.
- Are returning to training after surgery or rehabilitation.
- Seek a preventative screening before a new training cycle.
Our team provides detailed reports, video analysis, and one-on-one guidance to optimise your movement health.

Book An AppointmentFrequently Asked Questions
Is this assessment only for professional athletes?
No – our biomechanical and sensor-based assessments are suitable for anyone active, from beginners to professional athletes.
Can it be used for post-injury recovery?
Yes. Motion analysis provides precise data for rehabilitation, helping therapists monitor recovery and adjust treatment dynamically.
How often should I repeat the test?
Every 3–6 months, or before and after each major training season, to detect movement changes or early risk factors.
