Screening for risks of injury and reduced performance

Our ability to Screen for risk of injury and reduced performance in young people and children has advanced tremendously in recent times. Using physiotherapy lead research into core stability, muscle balance and fine tuned rehabilitation we can prepare for and reduce the risk of injuries as well as improve performance.

Whether a child is involved in sport or fitness, performing arts or sits at a desk using the computer, these are all physically specialised activities with easily seen advantages but with less easily identified risks. This is not limited to just so called high end performers but is equally important to children trying to enjoy school PE and leisure activitieswhere small difficulties can put them off. In the same way that eye tracking difficulties can affect concentration and reading, coordination, balance and flexibility directly affect physical performance. We understand the role of these factors and how their influence changes during the various stages of growth of your child.
