Our Approach to Sports Injury Management
Your recovery at our Frankston clinic is a structured, technology-enhanced process:
Accurate Diagnosis & Baseline Testing
We conduct a thorough assessment and use the AXIT system to get objective baseline measurements of your strength. This tells us exactly where you're starting from.
Pain & Symptom Management
The initial phase focuses on reducing pain and inflammation using techniques like manual therapy, taping, and load management advice.
Targeted Rehabilitation
This is where our rehab gym comes into play. We guide you through a progressive exercise program using our equipment to restore range of motion, build strength, and improve balance.
Data-Driven Return to Sport
Before you return to the field, we re-test you on the AXIT system. By comparing your results to your baseline data and your uninjured side, we can confidently determine if you are physically ready, helping to reduce the risk of re-injury.
