Injury Prevention

Before deciding what you need to work on, we need to understand what you're asking your body to do.

We'll talk about your activity, training, previous injuries and any symptoms or concerns you currently have.

Then we'll assess the areas that are relevant to you.

Depending on your goals, that could include looking at movement, strength, mobility, control and your ability to perform tasks related to your sport, exercise or everyday activity.

We're not looking for things to label as "wrong".

We're looking for useful information that can help us decide what, if anything, is worth working on.

Not everything needs complete rest.

If something has started feeling sore or uncomfortable during training, getting it assessed early can help you understand what's happening and decide how best to manage it.

Sometimes that means temporarily changing what you're doing while symptoms settle.

Sometimes you can continue training with a few sensible adjustments.

And sometimes the problem needs more attention. The important thing is knowing which applies to you.

Being strong in a treatment room isn't the goal.

Your body needs to be prepared for your life.

• For a runner, that means tolerating repeated miles.
• For a footballer, it might mean sprinting, jumping and changing direction.
• For someone in the gym, it could mean lifting heavier weights.
• And for someone with a physical job, it might simply mean being able to repeatedly lift, carry, bend or spend long periods on their feet.

We'll help identify what your body needs for those demands and, where appropriate, build those qualities into your plan.
