Athlete Screening & Performance Testing

Athlete screening isn't rehab. It's the proactive side of sports physiotherapy, using objective tests to identify the movement deficits, asymmetries and limitations relevant to your sport, before they become injuries. Whether you're preparing for a competitive season, returning from injury, or just curious where you stack up, screening gives you the data to train smarter.

Who Should Get Screened

• Junior athletes: establishing a baseline during key development years
• Adult athletes at the start of a competitive season
• Returning from injury: objective clearance criteria before return-to-play
• Recurrent injury history: identifying the underlying patterns driving repeat issues
• Performance-focused athletes: strength, speed, power benchmarking
• Teams and clubs: pre-season screening for player groups

What We Assess

Movement Screening

Functional movement assessment: squat, hinge, single-leg control, change-of-direction mechanics. Identifies asymmetries and movement patterns associated with injury risk.

Strength Testing

Hand-held dynamometer testing of key muscle groups. Useful for tracking rehab progress, identifying side-to-side deficits, and benchmarking performance.

Power & Jump Mechanics

Vertical jump, broad jump, and single-leg hop testing. Important markers for lower-body power and an objective return-to-sport metric following lower limb injury.

Speed & Sprint Mechanics

For athletes whose performance depends on sprinting: running gait analysis, acceleration mechanics, and where appropriate, GPS-tracked sprint testing.

Sport-Specific Tests

For team-sport athletes, sport-specific assessments matched to the demands of your code.

What You Get

A detailed written report with your numbers, where they sit relative to normative data, where your deficits and asymmetries are, and what to work on. Where appropriate, we'll recommend a follow-up program or refer you on for further work (strength and conditioning, sports physio rehab).

Team & Club Screening

We offer pre-season screening for clubs and team groups: efficient, on-site or in-clinic, with grouped data reporting for the coaching staff. Reach out for pricing.
