Before You Break Down: The Power of Screening with Andrew Menter Performance Talk with Dr. Ewell Gordon

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. 🔔
