Musculo-Skeletal Screenings

Prevention is always better than cure! With the increasing competitiveness of both professional and amateur sport these days injuries are often viewed as an unavoidable downside. However, this is not the case; many injuries are avoidable and if appropriate screening is conducted, preventable injuries can often be eliminated entirely.

Years of experience across a broad range of sports at the highest levels allow our therapists the ability to perform individualised and sport specific musculoskeletal screenings. At SportsLink Physiotherapy our therapists are highly trained to conduct movement assessments and joint specific assessments which allow them to tailor a personalised program for rehabilitation and/or improved performance.

We will identify any factors predisposing to injury and give you the tools to fix them, preventing the injury from occurring in the first place. Whether it is poor gluteal strength and core control leading to an increased chance of ACL and meniscal injury or whether it is inadequate throwing biomechanics increasing the chance of rotator cuff issues.

Musculoskeletal screening is no longer something just for elite athletes. We conduct screenings on people of from all stages and walks of life. From young rugby and cricket players prior to an upcoming season, to middle aged warriors looking to return to social netball or soccer after 20 years on the sidelines or even senior tennis players. At SportsLink Physiotherapy we conduct a thorough screening and educate you on how best to manage your body.

We provide you with stretches and exercises that will help to address any biomechanical deficiencies that can lead to injury.
