Physiotherapy for Performance, Not Just Injury
Elite athletes use physiotherapy proactively — not just to treat injuries, but to enhance performance, identify movement deficiencies before they become injuries, and optimise recovery between training sessions. This proactive approach is increasingly accessible to recreational and club-level athletes in Faridabad through sports physiotherapy assessments.
Functional Movement Screening (FMS)
The Functional Movement Screen assesses fundamental movement patterns: deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, shoulder mobility, active straight-leg raise, trunk stability push-up, and rotary stability. Asymmetries and limitations identified by FMS predict injury risk and guide targeted corrective exercise. Athletes with FMS scores below 14 have significantly higher injury rates than those scoring 14+.
Strength and Power Testing
Limb symmetry testing — comparing the strength of both sides — identifies deficits that predict injury. For cricket: hip and shoulder rotator cuff strength testing. For running: hamstring:quadriceps ratio. For football: adductor:abductor ratio. We use objective dynamometry testing where available.
Biomechanical Analysis
Sport-specific movement analysis — bowling action for cricketers, serve mechanics for badminton/tennis players, running gait for runners — identifies technical factors that increase injury risk or limit performance. Video analysis with slow-motion replay provides clear, actionable feedback.
Recovery Optimisation
Post-training recovery strategies — appropriate cooldown, recovery nutrition timing, sleep optimisation, and targeted soft tissue work — help athletes train harder and more consistently by reducing recovery time between sessions.
