Performance Assessments

Movement Performance Assessment

If you’re an athlete recovering from an injury, completing a movement performance assessment with a trained professional can be the best method to determine if you’re ready to get back to your sport. We bring you through a researched-based sport-specific performance assessment to identify movements that limit your performance or increase your risk of injury.  Each assessment is specific to both the sport and the position you play, for example, a hockey goalie will complete a different battery of tests than a ski racer, soccer forward, or runner.

What Does It Include?

Each assessment includes a general surgical/ injury history and screen followed by sports specific testing in the following areas to get a comprehensive understanding of your athletic readiness.

 

Our Game Plan

We use a popular green light, yellow light, red light scale to help you make the best decision about the best time to return to your sport. We’ll discuss your performance assessments results and future training directions with you in detail, so you can leave the clinic with a Game Plan. We make sure your game plan addresses your specific body needs and gives you a training program so you can confidently work towards optimizing your athletic potential.
