You don’t need to be limping off the field to book a screening. In fact, it’s better if you’re not.
Some of the most frustrating injuries don’t show up as pain right away. They build quietly. A slight shift in the way you land, a muscle pulling more than its share, a joint doing work it was never meant to. You feel fine, until you’re not.
That’s what these screenings are for. Early signs. Small fixes. Long seasons.
At Sports & Spines Physiotherapy, we don’t run you through a checklist and call it done. We look at how you actually move. Not in theory. On your feet.
So what’s involved?
It’s not a competition. No winning. No failing. Just a proper look at how your body handles what you’re asking it to do.
We’ll take you through:
- Real movement, running, twisting, jumping, controlling
- Strength in the right places, your hips, knees, shoulders, core
- Balance, because control matters when things get quick
- What your sport demands from you
- How much you’re training and how well you’re bouncing back
If something’s off, we explain it. In plain language. And then? We give you a plan. Something you can use.
Still feeling fine? Good. Let’s keep it that way.
Most people don’t notice when a problem starts. It only becomes clear when something tears or tightens or gives out in the middle of a match.
A good screening finds the patterns before they cause trouble. It gives you the edge, the kind that doesn’t show up on a scoreboard but keeps you playing every week.
What you get:
- Early warnings on imbalance or overload
- A better sense of how you move
- Small training tweaks that stop big problems
- A clear starting point if you’re coming back from a break
Think of it like a check-up. Not for symptoms, for systems.
Different sports. Different stress.
A swimmer doesn’t run. A footballer doesn’t rotate like a swimmer. A netballer lands. Hard. Your screening should reflect your game.
We tailor it. Every movement we look at, every suggestion we make, it all comes back to what you actually do on the field, in the pool, on the track.
And no, we won’t hand you a stack of generic exercises.
What we give you is specific. It fits your body, your goals, your routine. If you’ve got a coach or trainer, we’ll loop them in. Keep it all aligned.
This isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about building something better before anything breaks.
Who’s it for?
- Pre-season athletes
- Mid-season tune-ups
- Young players taking on more
- Anyone coming back from injury
- People who just want to move well and stay that way
You don’t need to be elite. You just need to care enough to check.
We Can't Always Use Templates
An algorithm can’t see the subtle flinch in your ankle, a PDF can’t notice the hesitation before a lunge. Your body deserves more than automation.
That’s why we work with you, in person. Face-to-face. So nothing is missed. So every rep, every rest, every progression is guided with care, not assumption.
You Don’t Need to Be Ready
There’s no minimum fitness level required. No perfect time. No checklist you need to complete first.
You just need to be open. To be curious about what your body could feel like with the right kind of attention.
