Shaquille O'Neal shoots 73.9% from the free throw line thanks to Zig Ziegler & Motion DNA!
Pro Basketball
In the final 6 weeks of the 2008 season, I analyzed the free throw shooting of Shaquille O'Neal after he was traded to the Phoenix Suns. Shaq's analysis showed he was loosing his balance in every free throw attempt. With a couple of simple pinpointed recommendation, Shaq used the tips during the final 4 weeks to shoot 17 of 23 from the free throw line!
In addition, exercises were recommended to improve specific physical limitations in O’Neal affecting his shot consistency.
“The body and the game is all mechanics. The better the body, the better the mechanics. If your ankle is off, it can throw off knee, hip, back, and more. With biomechanics testing, you can improve all of that,” Shaquille O’Neal -Phoenix Suns
I had chronic ankle injuries in college and I discovered why the symptom always came back. The RunRite System tells me what I need to do to improve my running technique and prevent injuries! "

"I've known my body had an imbalance. There is no other tool out there that looks at the kinesiology of how you run. We use power in cycling, but this is a great tool that could transform a runner's training programs."

Canadian Olympian & NPF Pitcher returns from broken leg thanks to Ziegler
Fastpitch Softball
For over three years, Big 12 & Oklahoma State University Player of the Year and Canadian Olympian and Pro Fastpitch star Lauren Bay was forced to wear a heavy metal brace on her ankle.
Our founder, Zig Ziegler, identified weaknesses in Lauren’s body caused her to repeatedly place excessive stress in her lower leg cause stress fractures on several occasions. The brace affected Lauren’s control and velocity. After her initial analysis and completion of a six week training program, Lauren was able to throw “pain free” without the brace and regained pitching velocity to almost 70 MPH.
“I am thankful for my long term health - thanks to Zig and his services,” Lauren Bay, 2008 Canadian Olympian

High School Basketball
After experiencing chronic back pain, #1 basketball player in the USA Shabazz Muhammad of Las Vegas' Bishop Gorman prep underwent a Motion DNA 6-DOF biomechanics assessment to discover the root cause. During the evaluation, Muhammad performed series of testing including a functional movement screen, vertical leap and free throw shooting.
“We had been looking everywhere and trying everything to get rid o periodic back pain. The tips on shooting are a bonus! The real objective was for me to find out how to eliminate back pain. ”

Diamondbacks, Whitesox, and other MLB Scouts call on Ziegler to assist with pre draft scouting based upon his Motion DNA 6-DOF technology!
Prior to the MLB Amateur Draft from 2003 to 2012, over a dozen MLB teams requested a biomechanical evaluation of top prospects for their top draft picks. Scouts typically like or dislike potential draft picks for various reasons.
The Motion DNA biomechanical analysis confirms objectively the opinions of many of those scouts including risk of Tommy John injury/surgery.
Additionally, a particular prospect passed over by the one major league team, but drafted as the number one pick of another, later suffered injuries to his pitching arm in exactly the manner predicted by his 6-D Analysis conducted by Zig Ziegler.
“Anytime you can see what you are doing wrong or right objectively, it can be of great help,”

Numerous youth and adult athletes benefit from Motion DNA assessments
Medical/Running
After numerous expensive and time-consuming visits to doctor’s offices where she was recommended new shoes, orthotics, laying off running, and many other therapies, a high school recreational distance runner arrived at our office still complaining of chronic stress fractures.
Based upon the objective data from her 3D biomechanical analysis, our founders concluded that not one of the many recommendations she had received were going to correct the cause of her stress fractures.
Three basic exercises were recommended to the athlete to do at home for a period of two weeks. Her pain immediately subsided. Ever since (for over two years now), the athlete has not experienced another stress fracture and she continues to increase her mileage: she currently runs over 50 miles a week.
