Physical Movement Assessments
Using the Functional Movement Screening (FMS) kit, we assess movement patterns to identify imbalances, weaknesses, and mobility restrictions. This helps create targeted programs for injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance enhancement.
Rehabilitation & Strength Programs
Personalised 1-on-1 and 2-on-1 training is available for individuals recovering from:
Sports injuries (e.g., muscle strains, ligament injuries)
Post-surgical rehabilitation (e.g., knee, hip, or shoulder recovery)
Chronic pain or movement dysfunctions (e.g., back, hip, or shoulder recovery)
Each program is evidence-based, ensuring safe and effective progression toward strength, mobility, and functional recovery.
