Strength & Performance Assessment
Take the guesswork out of your rehabilitation and performance.
Our Strength & Performance Assessment combines a comprehensive clinical assessment with objective muscle strength testing to identify weaknesses, muscle imbalances, and side-to-side differences that may be limiting your performance, contributing to pain, or increasing your risk of injury.
Whether you’re recovering from injury or surgery, returning to sport, or aiming to perform at your best, this assessment provides measurable data to guide your rehabilitation and training.
What’s Included?
Comprehensive Consultation
We begin with a detailed discussion about your injury history, training, goals, previous surgeries, and current symptoms to understand your individual needs.
Movement Assessment
A functional movement assessment helps identify any mobility restrictions, movement compensations, or control deficits that may be contributing to your symptoms or affecting performance.
Objective Strength Testing
Using advanced handheld dynamometry, we objectively measure the strength of key muscle groups relevant to your sport, injury, or goals. Testing is tailored to each individual and compares strength between both sides of the body to identify any deficits or asymmetries.
Detailed Results Review
Your results are explained during your appointment, helping you understand exactly where your strengths and weaknesses lie, how they relate to your symptoms or performance, and what areas require improvement.
Personalised Rehabilitation & Performance Programme
Based on your assessment findings, you’ll receive a tailored exercise programme designed to improve strength, address imbalances, reduce injury risk, and help you achieve your goals.
Progress Monitoring
Repeat testing allows us to objectively measure your progress over time, monitor recovery, and guide safe progression back to sport, work, or everyday activities.
