Pre-season is the perfect time to establish a clear picture of where players are starting from, using a combination of clinical and objective assessments 📚  
 
Our testing day included: 
 
🧠 SCAT6 concussion baseline testing
📊 VALD force plate assessment

IMPROVING HIP MOBILITY 🦴 
 
Improving hip mobility isn’t just about stretching. We want to develop range, control and strength through that range 📚  
 
Here are 3 examples of exercises we may prescribe to patients, depending on their individual assessment and goals: 
 
1️⃣ LENGTHEN - 90/90 LEAN 

Helps improve hip range and tolerance to deeper positions. Stretching has been shown to improve range of motion (Behm et al., 2023) 
 
2️⃣ ISOLATE - BANDED CLAM
 
Targets the hip abductors and external rotators, helping develop strength and control around the hip (Ebert et al., 2017). 
 
3️⃣ STRENGTHEN - LANDMINE COURTESY LUNGE
 
Challenges the hip through a greater range while developing strength and control under resistance. Resistance training can improve ROM as well as strength (Kassiano et al., 2023). 
 
The goal? 
➡️Access the range
➡️Control the range
➡️Strengthen the range 
 
These are just examples of what we might prescribe - the right exercises will depend on your individual assessment, symptoms and goals ✅  
 
If your hip mobility is limiting your movement, training or performance, get it assessed by one of our expert team 🙂‍↕️

The McGill Big 3 🏋️ 
 
Effective, but not magic 🙂‍↔️ 
 
The curl-up, side plank and bird dog exercises can absolutely be useful exercises for lower back rehab, which is why it’s been so heavily used over the years ✅  
 
But research suggests that motor-control exercises are not superior to other forms of exercise for low-back pain, but they can produce similar outcomes (Saragiotto et al., 2016; 2023) 🧐 
 
So, rather than giving everyone the same “Big 3”, we should ask: What exercises are right for you❓ 
 
Your symptoms, goals, preferences and current capacity should shape your programme - all things we closely monitor with objective testing 🫵🏼 
 
Effective doesn’t mean superior. Individualisation matters ⭐️ 
 
If you’re struggling with lower back pain or want to better understand your movement and performance, get in touch to book an assessment 📩

LOWER BACK ASSESSMENT 🔍💪 
 
Lower back pain isn’t just about where it hurts, it’s about understanding how your lumbar spine moves, how strong you are, and how your body responds to different loads and movements ✅ 
 
That’s why our lumbar assessments combine several key measures: 
 
📐 ROM testing: assessing lumbar range of movement to identify any restrictions, asymmetries or areas that may need further investigation. 
 
💪 Strength testing: using objective strength measures to assess key muscle groups, identify any weaknesses and compare sides where appropriate. 
 
🏃🏿‍♂️ Functional testing: assessing how you move, load and produce force during functional movements to understand how your back performs in more demanding tasks. 
 
We bring all of these findings together to build a clear picture of what’s going on, and importantly, what you need to work on ✅ 
 
From there, we create a tailored rehabilitation programme designed around your individual goals, symptoms, strength and movement findings, alongside a practical home management programme to keep your rehab progressing between appointments 📈 
 
No one-size-fits-all approach. Just objective testing, personalised treatment and a clear plan to help you get back to doing what you love 🫵🏼

RETURN TO SPORT TESTING ⚽️🏉📚 
 
This week’s CPD session focused on Return to Sport Testing, exploring how we can assess an athlete’s readiness to safely and confidently return to sport following injury ✅ 
 
We looked at the principles behind return-to-sport testing, how objective measures can support clinical decision-making, and how testing can be adapted to the individual and their specific sporting demands 🏀 
 
The session also included a practical element, giving us the opportunity to get hands-on with different testing methods and put the theory into practice. We shared ideas, challenged our thinking and learned from each other along the way 📈 
 
A really valuable session combining learning, practical application and teamwork - helping us continue to develop our knowledge and clinical skills so we can better support our patients on their journey back to sport 🫶

HAMSTRING ASSESSMENT 🔍💪 
 
A hamstring injury isn’t just about where it hurts, it’s about understanding how you move, how strong you are, and how your body performs under load ✅  
 
That’s why our hamstring assessments combine several key measures: 
 
📐 ROM testing: using goniometry to assess range of movement and identify any restrictions or asymmetries. 
 
💪 Strength testing: using the ActivForce dynamometer to objectively measure strength and compare sides. 
 
🏃‍♀️ Functional testing: using VALD force plates to assess how you produce and absorb force during functional movements. 
 
We bring all of these findings together to build a clear picture of what’s going on, and importantly, what you need to work on ✅  
 
From there, we create a tailored rehabilitation programme designed around your individual goals, injury, strength and movement findings, alongside a practical home management programme to keep your rehab progressing between appointments 📈 
 
No one-size-fits-all approach. Just objective testing, personalised treatment and a clear plan to help you get back to doing what you love 🙌
