From the biomechanics lab to clinical practice
Sprint Physio grew from a simple question: can we better understand lower-limb injuries by measuring how the body performs, rather than relying on symptoms alone?
During his doctoral research, Joel spent years investigating Achilles tendinopathy and physical performance in recreational runners. This involved studying how people with Achilles pain move and perform, using laboratory-based measures of strength, force and movement to better understand the factors associated with injury and physical performance.
Assessment with a purpose
That experience has shaped the way Sprint Physio approaches clinical assessment. Testing is not used simply to collect numbers. It is used to answer questions about your injury, physical capacity and readiness to progress.
The findings are brought together with your clinical assessment to develop and progress a rehabilitation program that addresses what matters for your recovery and the activities you want to return to.
