PREVENTING SPORTS INJURIES
No matter what the injury is, be that ankle, shoulder, knee or muscle - the number one risk factor for getting injured, is having a previous injury in that same joint or limb.
Why, because in many cases the original injury isn’t quite fully rehabilitated and may have residual weakness or movement patterns that put it at a higher risk of getting injured again.
Research indicates that 5-20% of injuries are recurrent injuries, with the higher percentages being in athletes and adolescent populations.
This is why following a sports injury, it is so important to complete a fully rehabilitation program, make sure you get tested and medically cleared and have fully recovered prior to returning to sport.
REHAB ADVANTAGE END-STAGE REHAB TESTING
At the end of any injury rehabilitation, it is fundamental to ensure that you have restored all aspects of your strength, mobility, capacity & stability.
Additionally, to be confident in not re-injuring or having ongoing problems, you need a close assessment of your risk profile - our End-Stage Rehab Testing does just that and more!
THE TESTING
An extensive physical testing session (approximately 2hrs) covering:​
Physio Clinical Testing
Injury rehabilitation exposure review
Strength Tests
Capacity Tests
Power Tests
Performance Measures

THE FORGOTTEN PHASE OF REHAB
The Injury Prevention & Resilience Phase of rehabilitation is often missed. But we know that in ACLs for example, most people will reinjure either their reconstructed knee or their other knee within the first 2 years of returning to sport. And this statistic is similar for other injuries.
So that is why at Rehab Advantage we have an injury prevention and resilience phase for our injury rehabilitation framework. Following the end-stage rehab testing, we provide guidance on an ongoing training program to continue to do whilst you are returning to full sport and activity.
