Performance testing
This session is to help you excel in the world of sport and to gain a better understanding of your body. You'll have usable data, so no guessing anymore. The testing highlights where your strengths are and any area that may need some intervention, such as strengthening programs. This data can be used to help dictate a strength program that can help compliment your sport in becoming stronger and reducing the risk of injury. We also use testing in our injury sessions to help dictate rehab and progression to the next level, allowing the data to help make those return to your sport decisions, so you have full trust in the injury.
We use a range of equipment including:
-
Force plates - This can help measure strength and power. This is normally done through jumps.
-
Handheld dynomometer - This is a small device that can help measure strength in varied positions, muscles and joints. We can also use this device to measure joint angles to check mobility and joint range.
This session can be a standalone session, to look at area's that have caused issue over time. In both our APEX and SUMMIT programs, you get a testing session as part of the block. This testing session is specific to you, your injuries and your sport.
When the testing session is complete you will recieve a report with all the data and recommendations.

The SUMMIT program is for those who want to increase physical performance, specific to your sport or activity. We use a range of equipment to test athletes who want to find out their strengths and weakness, to make them more robust and reduce the risk of injury.
What do you get with the package:
- 6 weeks
- Initial session: This includes MSK testing on such areas as strength and power. We will then go through a small gym session to prep you for the weeks to come. We use this session to set goals and targets to aim for in the 6 week period. You will receive a testing report post session.
- 5 x 1 hour gym sessions: These sessions are based off the initial testing and your sport to help increase performance.
- Re test session: The last session of the block will be a reassessment of the tests completed in the first session to track progressions, plus a gym session to finish.
- You will have access to our exercise app and we may set you small sessions to complete such as rehab sessions that can be done at home to assist the gym sessions and your sport.
SUMMIT PERFORMANCE PACKAGE (ONLINE)
Similar to the in person package, your program starts with a testing session. During this session we test athletes over a range of tests including strength and power and make the battery of tests specific to you, your sport and any previous injuries. We then use this data to help design your 6 week program.
Once we have your testing data and injury history, we can design a 6 week online program for you to do at home or in your gym. All sessions are put on to an easy to use app, which has clear instructions on each sessions with videos to help demonstrate. There is options to give feedback on each session, and once per week your therapist will check in via the app or Whatsapp to see how the week has gone.
These are our standard single sessions.
The injury assessment sessions is for those needing a single session to access an injury. What do you get as part of the session?
- Initial assessment or re assessment of an injury. The therapist will chat to you to gain as much history of the injury to start forming a diagnosis. Once this is complete we will use a range of tests to give you a diagnosis of the issue.
- Manual therapy - You will be given treatment such as massage if appropriate to help ease your symptoms.
- Rehab plan - Once we know the diagnosis and have helped settle your pain, we will then go through a rehab plan to get you started strengthening the area.
Alternatively we have our sports massage session. These are for those who need those aches and pain of training and even daily life addressing. The therapist will have a chat with you to start the session to explain the ins and outs of massage and also some history on you and the issues you may be having. At the end of the session, your therapist will go through the best practices post massage.
The APEX program is for anyone who has an injury that requires a long recovery period, i.e a high grade injury, MSK surgery and long term overuse injuries. The long term injury package is for those wanting an all inclusive rehab program, that gives you full time access to your therapist, to help you get back to your sport/activity you love quickly and safely with all the support you need.
What do you get with the package?
- 8 weeks
- Initial session: Injury assessment, MSK testing, manual therapy (i.e. message), goal setting, plan to get you started, sign up to our rehab app. This session typically lasts 1 hour.
- 3 - 5 x standard sessions: depending on the injury you will get 3 sessions placed every 2 weeks apart for 45 minutes + a check in online in the week in between or a session every week for 30 minutes.
- 1 x end of block testing session. As part of this session it will be a repeat of the initial session and you will be re-tested to see your progressions from this block.
- Our rehab app: This is where all the rehab and recovery program is uploaded to on a calendar. The rehab sessions will have attached video's of all the exercises for you to refer to. You will be able to add comments to each session to help guide us on how you are progressing.
- Access to your therapist, as much as you require via our messaging service on the app.
At the end of this block if you require more time due to the nature of this injury, you and your therapist can discuss if more blocks are needed and the plan going forward.
