Keeping Youth Athletes Strong, Healthy and Injury-Free

Our 60 minute Prevention & Performance Screening can help young athletes reach their full potential.

How can we help?

As a parent, you want the best for your child, especially when it comes to their health and athletic performance. Our 60-minute, data-led screening service is specifically designed to ensure your young athlete stays safe, healthy, and reaches their full potential—whether they're playing netball, rugby, football, athletics, or any other sport. Here’s how our Prevention and Performance Screening can help. Using cutting-edge data and expert analysis, we will be able to drive:

Injury Prevention

We identify potential areas of risk or weakness to help reduce the likelihood of injuries, allowing young people to fully enjoy their sport without interruptions.

Performance Optimisation

We assess key areas for improvement, empowering your child to reach peak performance in their chosen sport.

Recovery Support

Our data driven approach checks and ensures your child is fully equipped to return to their sport after an injury.

In just 60 minutes, we provide a full-body evaluation, including:

Functional movement pattern analysis to spot potential issues in your movement.

Joint range of movement evaluation to assess flexibility and mobility.

Muscle length and strength assessment to identify imbalances.

Proprioception and control examination to test your body's awareness and balance.

Muscular endurance testing to gauge strength and stamina.

Plyometric capacity evaluation for assessing explosive power, if relevant to your sport or fitness routine.

What happens after Prevention & Performance Screening

Our physiotherapy team work hand-in-hand with our strength and conditioning experts to ensure your child receives the best care possible. If our Prevention and Performance Screening highlights areas that could be improved, our teams will collaborate closely to design a personalised program based on the data gathered.

At our Hitchin and Hertford Practices we run Long Term Athletic Development which can be the ideal follow-on from Prevention & Performance Screening.
