Staying INjury Free
A great way to help unlock your body and stay injury free alongside your movement and biomechanics work is to add in a regular sports massage or deep tissue massage. Deep tissue massage helps to loosen your muscles from tightness allowing them an instant increase in range of movement.
I am currently creating a post-massage video for clients to help to seal in that new range which can be done within 48 hours of a full body massage.
Biomechanics Packages
The Mobility Assessment provides a focused overview of your body, locating the key problem areas for us to work on. It’s perfect for anyone wanting to improve their movement and joint range, symmetry and mobility. The package includes a 14 day plan to begin resolving the restrictions we find within your body.
With a Full Body Assessment, you are invited back for a free retest between 14 and 21 days after. The retest is a good opportunity to see how much you have improved and we can outline plans to continue to improve function, range and symmetry further.
I also offer packages specific to athletes involved in Triathlon with Swim, Bike, Run & Ultra Running Packages. I also offer extensive gait and run assessments with intrinsic information on your foot and it’s capabilities to pronate, supinate and it’s impact on your running style.

Full Body Assessment
What Happens…
In a full body assessment I will take your body through a range of movements, using evidence based research we can assess whether each movement is within range for a normal functioning body or look at obtaining a greater range for high performance.
Most of the tests are completed on a massage table, some you will need to sit down for and there are a few where you stand up. You will be barefoot for most of the tests, although some tests require trainers or running shoes.
Wearing leggings or shorts makes testing easier, I recommend a sports bra for women, and ideally a sports vest or t-shirt. One of the spine tests involve me looking at your back, so it is helpful if you’re happy to lift your top at the back ladies, or go topless for the men. If you’re really uncomfortable about that it’s fine, we can just leave that test out.
Once the tests have been completed i’ll provide you and your coach (if you have one) with the results and I’ll provide a 14 day plan to address any issues we uncover.
Please be aware that I cannot perform an assessment on a client experiencing “pain” without them consulting a GP first. I am not a clinician and cannot diagnose the cause of pain, and it’s always best to seek medical help with the issue first. I am happy to assess other areas of your body as they may be contributing to the pain you’re experiencing, but I will not assess a painful area without a GP report.
After Your Assessment
Prepare, Strengthen & Stabilise
Once we have completed your assessment I will provide an athlete focused report which summarises the findings. A Full Body Assessment includes a detailed clinical report, ideal for clinicians or athletes and coaches with a good understanding of anatomy.
I’ll explain what movements are being inhibited and I’ll give you a 14 day plan so we can get you moving correctly again. It can take longer than the 14 days but every individual body has a different start, history and will adapt differently but many clients see huge improvements once they complete that 14 day plan.
