ANKLE ASSESSMENT 🔎🦶

Ankle pain isn’t always just about the site of the injury. It’s about understanding your mobility, strength, balance and how your ankle responds to different demands ✅

That’s why we use a combination of objective measures during our ankle assessments:

📐 ROM testing: using goniometry to measure ankle mobility, identify restrictions and highlight any differences between sides.

💪 Strength testing: using the ActivForce dynamometer to measure muscle strength objectively and identify potential weaknesses or imbalances.

🏃‍♀️ Functional testing: using VALD force plates to assess how you generate and absorb force, helping us understand how your ankle performs during movement.

By combining these findings, we can build a better understanding of your ankle function, identify areas for improvement and determine what needs to be prioritised in your rehab 📚

From there, we develop an individualised rehabilitation programme based on your injury, assessment results and personal goals. We also provide a practical home exercise programme to help you stay consistent and continue making progress between appointments 📈

No generic treatment plans. Just evidence-informed assessment, personalised rehabilitation and a structured approach to getting you back to the activities you enjoy 🤝

Whether you’re dealing with an ankle sprain, ongoing ankle pain or looking to improve your performance, get in touch to book an assessment 📩

Our Return To Sport Criteria ✅

Returning to sport after a knee injury such as an ACL, meniscus or other knee injury is about more than just being pain free 🔍

We use a combination of objective testing and functional assessments to help guide return-to-sport decisions, including:

📊 VALD Force Plates - assessing force production, power, asymmetries and jump performance.

💪 ActivForce Dynamometry - measuring strength and identifying potential deficits between limbs.

🔋 Endurance Testing - assessing the ability to maintain performance under fatigue.

⚡️ Reactive Testing - challenging the ability to respond, adapt and move under pressure.

🏃🏿‍♂️ Functional Testing - assessing movement quality, control and sport-specific demands.

✅ The goal? To build a clearer picture of an athlete’s readiness, identify areas that still need work, and support a safe, confident return to sport.

Because getting back on the pitch, court or track isn’t just about being ready to train, it’s about being prepared for the demands of your sport 📚

If you’re dealing with a knee injury and unsure whether or not you’re ready to return back to sport, get in touch to book an assessment 📩

Here’s an insight into one of our pre-season testing days with one of the clubs we work with, Enfield Ignatians RFC 🏉

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 🦵 Muscle length assessment 💪 Muscle strength assessment

The aim? To collect meaningful baseline data, identify individual areas to work on, and help support players throughout the season, from injury prevention and rehabilitation to performance 🥇

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 📩
