TAPING AND STRAPPING

The effects of taping have been well documented with growing support in the literature. Since the 1890's taping has been advocated in the prevention and treatment of injuries.

Screening for better performance in sport.

Thought I would share a bit more about Performance Screening:   a new and exciting service development we are now able to offer here at our Carnforth and Morecambe clinics:

Performance Screening:
This tool is really invaluable for sportsmen and women, from elite athletes to those who just want to keep fit.  If you are getting recurrent injuries or injuries that just won't seem to fully resolve ( not necessarily in the same location ) then this service is definitely for you.

I have been using a kinetic control approach to treatment for several years now and this new screening tool enhances the benefits of this approach even further.

Using key movement testing weak links in the kinetic chain are identified and treated to prevent uncontrolled movement or poor movement patterns developing. This means less abnormal stress and strain on the muscles, ligaments and joints and less injury!

We treat the weak links identified by using specific strategies of low or high load training  depending on findings and can re-screen again after eight weeks to really see whether the new training strategy has paid off. Great if you want an objective measure of your physio progress!

During the screening process we perform a series of movement tests and accurately assess how you move, whether you compensate in any way and whether you can achieve the set bench mark for that test.  These results are then analysed and we  provide an accurate rehab and training program to address high and low risk areas as well as giving you the go ahead to progress training safely. The results may really surprise you!

  • If you really want to see whether your physio is effective then this is definitely for you.
  • If you want to minimise injury and get back to training safely then this is for you!   
  • You can ring for further details or book and initial assessment with Alex on our central booking line 01524426964.
