Assessment informed by years of research

Sprint Physio was founded by physiotherapist and researcher Joel Martin, whose PhD research investigated Achilles tendinopathy and physical performance in runners. That experience shapes a detailed, research-informed approach to assessing and rehabilitating lower-limb injuries

Assess. Measure. Rebuild.

1. Assess and understand your injury

A detailed assessment of your symptoms, injury history, activity and goals to understand what is happening, what may be contributing to your problem and what you need to work towards

2. Measure what matters

Targeted testing of strength, movement and physical performance can identify areas that need attention, establish a clear starting point and track your progress through rehabilitation rehabilitation

3. Rebuild with purpose

Your rehabilitation is built around the findings from your assessment and testing, with exercises, activity advice and progression tailored to your goals and the demands of what you want to return to

Lower-limb problems, assessed in depth

Achilles & calf pain

Persistent & complex lower-limb problems

Running-related injuries

Achilles tendinopathy, calf injuries and other lower-leg problems, when pain persists, keeps returning or you're struggling to progress your rehabilitation

Running-related injuries

Persistent & complex lower-limb problems

Running-related injuries

Knee, hip, foot and other lower-limb injuries affecting your running. Assessment considers both the injury and the physical demands of running to help you return to training with a clear plan

Persistent & complex lower-limb problems

Persistent & complex lower-limb problems

Persistent & complex lower-limb problems

Injuries that haven't responded as expected, keep recurring or leave you unsure about what to do next. A detailed assessment can help clarify the problem and identify the physical capacities that need to be rebuilt

Focused on lower-limb injuries and rehabilitation

 

Lower-limb injuries can make it difficult to keep doing the things you enjoy — whether that's running, playing sport, training or simply staying active.


Sprint Physio focuses on the assessment and rehabilitation of lower-limb musculoskeletal injuries, particularly Achilles and calf problems, running-related injuries and persistent or difficult-to-manage conditions. 


 

Achilles & calf
Achilles tendinopathy, Achilles injuries, calf injuries and rehabilitation.


Running injuries
Running-related knee, hip, foot and lower-limb problems.


Sport & training injuries
Lower-limb injuries affecting training, sport and return to performance.


Persistent or recurring injuries
Problems that haven't responded as expected, keep returning or are limiting your activity.







Assessment that goes beyond symptoms

Pain is important, but it doesn't always tell the whole story. When you're trying to return to running, sport or training, understanding how your lower limb is performing can provide important information for rehabilitation

Depending on your injury and goals, testing may include strength assessment, force-plate testing, hop performance, running assessment and key performance measures such as rate of force development

Strength

Measure the strength and physical capacity relevant to your injury, including side-to-side differences and performance benchmarks

Movement

Assess how you move and respond to the physical demands of running, sport or exercise

Performance

Use functional and performance testing to establish a baseline, guide rehabilitation and assess your progress towards your goals

From the research lab to clinical practice

Sprint Physio was founded by physiotherapist and researcher Joel Martin, whose PhD research investigated Achilles tendinopathy and physical performance in recreational runners.


Years spent studying these problems in the biomechanics laboratory measuring movement, strength and physical performance and publishing research have shaped the way Sprint approaches lower-limb assessment and rehabilitation.


Targeted clinical tests and physical measures are used to better understand the problem, identify the factors that may be limiting recovery and provide information that can directly guide rehabilitation.

What to expect from your appointment


1. Understand your injury

We'll discuss your symptoms, injury history, activity and goals to build a clear picture of the problem and what you want to achieve.


 2. Assess your physical capacity

Your assessment will look at the factors most relevant to your injury and the demands of the activities you want to return to.

3. Measure where it matters

Where useful, testing of strength, movement and physical performance can establish a baseline and help identify what needs to be addressed.

 4. Build your rehabilitation plan

We'll bring the findings together to explain the problem and develop a rehabilitation plan around your goals, with clear priorities and progression.
