Professional Athlete Musculoskeletal Screening

At Restore Function Physiotherapy our musculoskeletal screening involves taking comprehensive information on your previous playing and injury history as well as your athletic goals to guide further physical assessment to minimise the risk of injury. Through various sport-specific tests and utilising our VALD performance technologies, we are able to measure and obtain health characteristics on a range of assessment items.

A musculoskeletal screening can be performed for anyone from the weekend warrior, adolescent athlete, whole sporting squads or the elite athlete looking for the edge in their training.

It involves learning about each individual’s history of injuries and treatments and running initial diagnostics to identify at-risk athletes. Following your assessment your physiotherapist will identify potential injury risk factors, develop a plan with specific exercises for you to implement addressing the deficits and muscular imbalances identified for you to reach your athletic potential and continue competing.

The screening process will include assessing your:

Range of motion and mobility
Muscular strength, power, and endurance
Trunk stability and control
Functional movement quality and technique (jumping, landing, throwing)
Running analysis
Proprioception (balance)

Benefits of a musculoskeletal screening:

Identify areas to improve and focus on with training
Assess readiness for return to activity or sport following injury (ACL, hamstring strain, shoulder dislocation) or time off
Establish baseline measures in pre-season/training and/or post-injury
Provide and guide your coaches and high-performance team staff with information for load management
Reduction in those with recurrent injury history

Can be performed for various sports and activities including:

AFL
Soccer
Netball
Rugby: League, Union and Touch
Running
Swimming
Cycling
Athletics
Gym: strength and conditioning; powerlifting

I came to Restore Function after bad advice from a different physio had created a chronic ankle problem. At Restore I finally got the correct help and my ankle quickly healed. Miaranda is an amazing physio and with her help I was also able to overcome chronic back pain, which had been largely caused by incorrect advice from the previous different physiotherapist (from a different company). I’ve learned the hard way that the wrong physio can cause huge problems. I have the utmost confidence in all the physios at Restore Function and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I also saw Meredith for pelvic floor help after my hysterectomy and she was excellent. Renee in administration is lovely and very helpful. Restore Function is honestly the best group of physiotherapists I have ever encountered and I am so grateful I found them. I give them a hundred stars.

Miranda & her team have been fantastic since my ankle surgery 11 weeks ago. From barely being able to wiggle my toes to now back walking & well on the way to a full recovery, I couldn’t be happier. Her advice & experience is second to none. I’m so happy my Surgeon recommended her to me. I would do the same for anyone who has an injury or pain. Thanks again!

Over the past few months I have been going to Restore Function Physiotherapy for an arm injury & Frozen Shoulder, From the moment I spoke to the reception staff on the phone I have received the highest level of care from all staff members.

They have been so incredibly caring, patient, helpful & professional throughout my recovery. The Physio’s are extremely knowledgeable & incredibly well trained, but are also very a, I have made great progress with the Physio’s help. I couldn’t recommend them enough if I tried, Thank you so much to everyone there for their support.

Cannot recommend Restore Function Physio highly enough. Miranda has been treating my gymnast daughter for an injury to her distal radial metaphysis and she has been amazing. Miranda listened to my daughter’s concerns, conducted a thorough examination and explained the injury and what treatment was needed in order for her to make a full recovery and get back into the gym doing what she loves. The appointments never feel rushed and Miranda goes above and beyond in providing her treatment. Their new clinic is beautiful with plenty of onsite car parking and so easy to book appointments online or through their friendly receptionist. Will definitely be going back!

My grieving back problem that plagued me for over 9 months is 95% gone after two sessions with Miranda. Thank you for quickly putting the spring back into my back again with your wealth of knowledge and skills. Your feedback on the prescribed exercises via Physiapp is of great value. Part of my problem was working from home without proper desk and chair. Miranda introduced me to the Bassett Lumbar support that turned any chair into a spine friendly chair that works better than a $300 office chair. It is so good that I just bought the second one for my wife. Thank you Miranda and the team at Restore Function.
