Sports Screening vs Physio Assessment?
A Sports Screening from Pure Physio Sports will help you to find out how close you are to the needs of the Sport you play. This is not about recovering from injury, but it highlights areas that you can work on to improve your performance. This type of screening is particularly useful to those who find they are not as flexible as they want to be or are not as strong as they would like to be. For example:Â
- If you a runner trying to get to a certain time
- A footballer looking to get faster and more agile
- A netball player wanting to improve your jump, pass or shotÂ
We can use the latest technology to help you improve your performanceÂ
Initial meeting in the Clinic
First you will arrive at our custom clinic with a gym space. You will be greeted by your Physiotherapist and taken into the assessment room, so come dressed for the assessment in sports clothes.Â
The Sports Screening
We will gather information about your position, level you play at, your training regime and previous injury history.Â
Flexibility – Using our state-of-the-art Dynamometer VALD Dynamo we will be able to accurately look at your joint ranges of movement to highlight any areas we could work on.Â
Strength – A strength assessment is also performed using the VALD DynamoÂ
The VALD Dynamo is a handheld dynamometer and inclinometer with a variety of different attachments to perform hundreds of strength and movement assessments.
Your sports screen may also include a video of your running mechanics to help inform the right treatment for you.
Education and Performance Programme
Our Sports Physiotherapist will then describe to you the key findings of the assessment and develop a bespoke Performance Programme to work on the areas you need to enhance performance. This will be sent to you via e-mail and will allow you access to an app that tells you how often to complete the programme with videos of each exercise and the number of Reps and Sets to complete.Â
Payment and re-booking
Our Sports Physiotherapist will then take payment and agree when to re-assess you to find out how the performance plan has helped you and whether you have reached your goals or what you need to do next. Your report and programme will arrive within 24 hours of your appointment.
We look forward to seeing you and getting in the best shape for your sport!
