Injury Prevention & Resilience Testing & Reporting

Testing & Reporting

$3452 hours

Performance testing, before an injury happens

Proactive screening and benchmarking for active people and athletes who are not currently in rehab. Profile your strength, capacity and movement by region, see where symmetry and capacity sit against benchmarks, and leave with training priorities for your weaker areas.

Proactive screening & benchmarking

Best suited for

  • Athletes and active people wanting a performance and resilience baseline, without a current injury.
  • Anyone with a history of injury who wants to check for remaining weak links before a season or training block.
  • People who want objective data to shape their strength and conditioning.

What's included

The testing session

  • Clinical flags

    Past injuries and ongoing concerns are noted up front and linked to management or review where needed.

  • Mobility

    Joint range and flexibility, such as ankle dorsiflexion and hip rotation. We compare sides and relevant reference values to identify restrictions that may influence movement.

  • Strength

    Force output across relevant muscle groups, including quads, hamstrings, calves, hips, shoulders and neck. Both side-to-side balance and absolute strength against benchmarks matter.

  • Capacity

    The ability to sustain and repeat work. Where relevant, calf endurance and other repeated-effort tests help identify fatigue-related gaps that a single maximal effort may miss.

  • Dynamic performance

    How you produce force, absorb landing and braking loads, and react quickly. Jump and reactive-strength measures explore push-off, load sharing and repeated ground contacts.

  • Movement quality

    How you control your body during tasks such as single-leg landing. We assess balance, alignment and control alongside the force and capacity measures.

  • Symmetry and capacity

    Left vs right and absolute output against appropriate benchmarks; mobility against reference values.

Tests are selected for your history, sport and goals. Not every session includes every measure; untested areas are not treated as normal results.

The report

  • Regional profiles

    Findings grouped into calf & ankle, thigh & knee, hip & back, and shoulder & neck, with individual measures mapped against symmetry and benchmark targets.

  • Training priorities

    Program targets for specific weaker areas and a training direction, not just an overall score.

  • Retest and compare

    Repeat testing, or targeted retests of priority measures, compared with your own baseline.

How profiling is handled

Measures are plotted on two questions at once: how evenly the two sides match, and how the weaker side compares with an appropriate benchmark. Where each measure lands shapes the training direction.

Symmetry vs benchmark

Illustrative
Symmetry versus benchmark quadrant frameworkHorizontal axis: limb symmetry index, lower side as a percentage of higher side. Vertical axis: weaker side as a percentage of benchmark. Dashed reference lines at 90 percent divide four quadrants. Fictional examples: A, 80 percent symmetry and 115 percent benchmark; B, 96 and 115; C, 80 and 50; D, 96 and 50.

A–D are fictional examples illustrating the four quadrants, not athlete results. The 90% lines are reference points for prioritising training, not a clearance standard.

What each quadrant points to

  • A · Strong but asymmetrical · Output is there; close the side-to-side gap with targeted single-limb work on the weaker side.

  • B · Symmetrical & strong · Maintain. Keep exposing the area to load and build on it as training demands rise.

  • C · Weak & asymmetrical · Priority area. Address the side-to-side gap and overall capacity, then retest against your baseline.

  • D · Symmetrical but weak · Both sides match but sit below benchmark. Progress bilateral capacity and load.

Your regional profiles

Each profile brings relevant test results together by body region, making it easier to see what to maintain, what to improve and what to reassess.

Calf & ankle

Ankle mobility, calf force output and repeated calf-raise capacity.

Connects push-off and landing demands with the ankle range and calf endurance needed for running and repeated efforts.

Thigh & knee

Quadriceps and hamstring strength, side-to-side differences and jump or braking measures.

Highlights strength and load-sharing gaps to address as running, deceleration and change-of-direction demands increase.

Hip & back

Hip rotation and flexibility, plus hip flexor, abductor and adductor strength.

Explores how hip mobility and strength support pelvis and trunk control. Findings are interpreted alongside your history, not as a diagnosis of back pain.

Shoulder & neck

Shoulder internal and external rotation strength, relevant strength ratios and neck force output.

Guides upper-body priorities for your sport, including overhead activity or contact demands where relevant.

Regional findings inform a prioritised training plan and targeted retesting. Measures and benchmarks are selected for the individual; not every region requires the same tests.

Why test when nothing hurts

Injury prevention programs that work on strengthening, movement efficiency and technique help reduce injury rates. Testing gives that training a starting point: objective numbers instead of guesswork.

A baseline is also useful later. If you are injured down the track, your results give your rehabilitation a pre-injury reference point to work back towards.

This is a testing and reporting session, not a diagnosis or a guarantee. Results guide training decisions, and your practitioner will explain what they can and cannot tell you.

FAQs

End-Stage Rehab Testing is for people completing rehabilitation and focuses on readiness to return to sport or activity after an injury. Injury Prevention & Resilience Testing is proactive: it benchmarks people who are not currently injured and guides training to reduce injury risk and build capacity.
