Athlete Screening

X athlete screening
Athlete Screening is a comprehensive evaluation process often used in sports to assess an athlete’s physical condition, performance potential, and risk factors for injury. It typically involves a series of assessments, tests, and measurements conducted by a Physiotherapist.
At X Physio, we do screening for almost any type of athlete, ranging from gymnastics, to rugby league and soccer. There are many different ways to assess an athlete, and each screening session involves a tailored set of tests. We have access to an entire commercial gym, meaning that we have the space, and tools necessary to do the best screening for athletes.
Athlete screening will pick up on any injuries, or niggles that a patient may have, allowing us to prevent these injuries or niggles from worsening. The earlier something is detected, the easier it is to treat. Preventing injuries from getting worse is one of the most valuable and necessary processes when it comes to athletes, and even for non-athletes, to make sure that they can continue to to participate in the physical activity they need to do.
