Screening and Injury Prevention

What is Screening and Injury Prevention ?

During a screening, your Physiotherapist will gather information about your training background, injury history, current physical condition, and goals. They will then assess your posture, flexibility, strength, and movement patterns through clinical tests and observation.

This comprehensive evaluation helps identify limitations that may hinder performance or increase injury risk. The physiotherapist will provide guidance and collaborate with other professionals, when necessary, to develop training programs that target these areas and alleviate symptoms.

Treatment and recommendations are evidence-based and personalised. Follow-up screenings can be conducted to monitor progress and confirm improvements.

Physiotherapy screening can:

• Reduce the risk of injury by identifying potential physical issues.

• Maximise training potential by pinpointing physical weaknesses.

• Offer tailored advice on training and conditioning based on the screening results.

• Provide suitable home exercises to address physical deficits.

• Establish baseline measurements to track training progress.

• Be helpful for those returning to exercise or undertaking new physical challenges.
