Benefits of Performance Screening & Coaching
Injury Prevention
Comprehensive screening helps to identify abnormal movement patterns and weaknesses that may predispose players/athletes to injury, therefore enabling athletes to modify their rehab and training programme to ensure injury risk is minimal.
Optimise athletic performance
Specialist guidance, coaching and support empowers athletes to feel more confident in their training, giving structure and balance, creating sustainability right up to competition.
Identify risk factors
Performance screening can be used to identify factors that may predispose athletes/players to injury, as well as lifestyle variables that could influence performance. Recorded data can help to access the effectiveness of a rehabilitation programme, measuring progress and the effectiveness of training.
