REGULARLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

TYPE OF BIOMECHANICAL ASSESSMENTS ON OFFER:

What Sports do you Biomechanically Assess?
- I specialise in Gait/Running, Bike Fitting and Triathlon assessments. But I have worked closely with kayakers, golfers, footballers, hockey players and track athletes as well. What I offer these non-specialist sports is a very high level understanding of kinetic patterning. For example, with a golfer I can't look at their swing and see where their wrist angle is wrong, but I can look at address posture (to ensure good back swing rotation), kinetic timing of the swing (including the how of pelvic clearance), how to increase club head speed, posting stability.....
What does a Biomechanical Assessment include?
- For Gait, Bike and Tri assessments, we dig deep into video analysis of your technique, sport-specific muscle balance screening (this is to work out where within your movement patterns you are inefficient so the correct exercise prescription and cueing can be offered), reporting and gym programming.
- For the Gait analysis you also get a months FREE access to The Efficient Runner course, where you ccan take your education and exercise prescription to the next level.
So I see you offer Turbo and Full Biomechanical Assessments. What's the difference?
- 1hr 'Turbo' Analysis: basic video analysis and muscle balance testing. Specific exercise prescription and targeted cueing relative to your needs. A basic home exercise programme to get you on the right path. This is more appropriate for movement-specific niggles and inefficiencies.
- 2hr Full Analysis: in-depth video analysis of your technique and a full muscle balance screen (including dynamic testing). Full core and pelvic stability education. Detailed reporting and home exercise prescription. Targeted to the more chronic movement pain/long term issue, or the competitive athlete looking at extracting more out of their technique.
I know I can be more efficient in my movement, and therefore more economical when training/racing? Are the Biomechanical Assessments what I need?
- YES! Assessments aren't specifically for the injured. Deep diving into YOUR movement patterns and dynamic strength can expose, and therefore offer, and huge opportunity for movement efficiency changes.

FOR THE ATHLETE, COACH, &/OR PRACTITIONER:

What is your 'modus operandi' when treating athletes?
- This is a very multifaceted question (which I will answer in greater depth in the next questions). At the most fundamental level, I have. VERY strong 'scope of practice'. I will only treat an athlete when I can identify what the root cause is, and can therefore make a positive difference in a proactive and open manner.
How often do I need to see you?
- My philosophy revolves strongly around providing all the necessary/appropriate information to the athlete. In some instances it is appropriate for the athlete to see me with regularity, in a manner that is openly discussed and based on evidence-based best practice. BUT, if the athlete needs minor tweaking (technique or strength), the most powerful tool for them is for me to provide tools and an outline, but for them to manage the situation themselves. The athlete taking responsibility and not relying on me will lead to a significantly more powerful longer term solution.
Do you work in a TEAM environment?
- YES. I have worked for years in large teams (athletes, coaches, S&C, physios etc). I pride myself in clear comms and working within my scope in the team environment - ie: I'm not a Physio, so I don't try and be one.
Are you very 'hands on (soft tissue)' with an athlete?
- Not overly. I do have a qualification in soft tissue/massage, but I ONLY use it as a tool when Im trying to change an athlete's movement patterns. The evidence around stretching for an athlete is ambiguous, so I prefer to work more in using exercise prescription to create length and balance as this is more of a longer term solution.
- If I feel as though the athlete does need more significant hands on treatment, then I will refer to the Physio etc for that.
How do you work within an Athlete/Coach environment?
- I get referrals from coaches all the time. Firstly, I am there for the athlete and will always offer 100% clarity as far as my opinions are concerned. But having worked in this environment for 2 decades now, I appreciate the delicacy around how the comms are delivered and so work closely with the coach to deliver the best results for the athlete.
I have a teenage child that I'd like you to see/treat. Am I able to watch?
- YES! In fact I strongly encourage this. The more the child and you, as the parent, understand of the situation, the more significant the outcome for all. Also, since it is a private practice, I prefer to have the parent involved to ensure the child is comfortable in my working environment. However, I will add, as the parent I ask you NOT to be too involved with the assessments. I will always ask your opinion where necessary, but I learn more from engaging with the child.
