MUSCULOSKELETAL ASSESSMENT

A musculoskeletal assessment is much like a physical medical screening. Your Physiotherapist will take you through a battery of tests to determine the flexibility, strength, and co-ordination of muscles, integrity of joints and ability to complete functional tasks like lifting, hopping, squatting and even balancing or running (if required).

A musculoskeletal assessment can be done for a number of reasons. It may be that you want to get a pre-season sport screening to identify if you are ready to return to sport at the beginning of a new season or maybe there is a need to identify areas of your strength, agility or skills that you can work on to improve performance.

An employer may ask us to do a general physical screening for a new or potential employee. The testing for these type of assessments are specific to each individual activity that will be required of the employee. This is usually for physically demanding jobs that require a certain level of physical ability from the employee.
