R2P Profile - $260
The R2P Profile includes testing that measures and compares your level of asymmetry in leg strength, leg power and functional movements like walking, running and jumping. This test is for all levels of athletes with a lower body injury. It will provide you with objective data to pinpoint weaknesses in your lower body.
We will provide you with an individualized report to help you optimize your return to sport. Our goal is also to decrease your risk of re-injury that can be caused by inadequate recovery.
The appointment includes a Physiotherapy Assessment which can be claimed to your private insurance for reimbursement.
Baseline Profile - $175
Baseline Profiling is available for individual athletes or for teams that want to measure a healthy baseline level of functional performance. This can be used to guide return to sport decision making if injuries are sustained or to identify athletes who might be susceptible to injury.
Testing can also be used to assess athletic performance. Baseline testing is a great way to monitor young athletes across their developmental pathway by providing yearly benchmarks and individualized training programs. Our experts will develop injury prevention and training strategies to build resilient and high performing athletes.
