Initial Physiotherapy/Football Assessment

In this session we will identify potential injuries before they become an issue while providing you with modifications to your training regime for injury prevention and performance. This includes:

• Screening of joints for injury prevention with a particular focus on spinal flexibility, power of muscles around hips and pelvic region, specific footy injury screen such as Osteitis pubis, hamstring strains, ankle and shoulder stability.
• Assessment and diagnosis of current injuries (if relevant)
• Referral for scans if required such as X-ray or MRI to assist in diagnosis
• Assessment of specific skills such as running, kicking, jumping
• Evaluation of current training load for footy and other sports
• Construction of an individualised and specific training regime including a combination of gym, footy skills, rehabilitation and core-work based on assessment findings for injury prevention and peak performance taking into account other sporting commitments
• Liaison with coach/trainers to adapt training including management plan written by your Physiotherapist
