Musculoskeletal Screening

Preventing injuries and enhancing physical performance.

Identifying potential issues before they become problems.

What is Musculoskeletal Screening?

Musculoskeletal screening involves a series of physical assessments designed to evaluate the health and function of muscles, bones, and joints. This process aims to detect imbalances, weaknesses, or dysfunctions that may predispose individuals to injuries or hinder performance. By identifying these factors early, appropriate interventions can be implemented to prevent injuries and optimise physical capabilities.

Individuals across all activity levels can benefit from musculoskeletal screening. For athletes, it aids in enhancing performance and reducing injury risk. For the general population, it assists in maintaining musculoskeletal health and preventing issues related to daily activities or occupational demands.

Our Approach

Personalised assessments for optimal outcomes.

At Renew Physiotherapy, we conduct comprehensive musculoskeletal screenings tailored to each individual's needs. Our approach includes:

  • Detailed History Evaluation: Gathering information on injury history and lifestyle factors to understand potential risks.

  • Physical Assessments: Evaluating muscle strength, flexibility, joint mobility, and posture to identify imbalances or dysfunctions.

  • Functional Movement Analysis: Observing movement patterns to detect abnormalities that may lead to injury.

  • Personalised Action Plan: Developing targeted exercise and intervention strategies to address identified issues and enhance musculoskeletal health.

Common Conditions We Treat

Proactively managing potential musculoskeletal issues.

Through musculoskeletal screening, we aim to prevent and manage conditions such as:

  • Muscle Imbalances: Unequal strength or flexibility between muscle groups, leading to compensatory movements and potential injury.

  • Joint Dysfunction: Abnormal joint movement or alignment causing pain or limited function.

  • Postural Deviations: Misalignments in posture that can result in strain and discomfort over time.

  • Movement Dysfunctions: Inefficient movement patterns increasing the risk of injury during activities.
