Selective Functional Movement Screening

Initial Functional Movement Screening is undertaken in all cases to ascertain any major functional deficits as these deficits effect the execution of sports specific techniques.  This allows Hugh to establish the most appropriate form of further analysis and follow up program for each individual client as appropriate.

General Gait Analysis

A general gait analysis for recreational runners and general sports enables Hugh to identify or eliminate classic gait deficits which maybe leading to injury or performance losses. He uses the latest software tools to assist in the process, utilizing his research experience in two and three dimensional motion analysis. The outputs from this analysis are used to design intervention programs to improve efficiency and reduce injury re-occurrence.

Sports Performance Analysis

This involves specific field-testing procedures to ascertain key parameters affecting performance. In particular Hugh specializes in specific strength evaluation, maximum velocity and acceleration assessment & sport specific agility testing. In addition he provides anthropometrical testing to support information gained from the various analyses.

Program Provision

Many of the programs Hugh designs for recreational runners, general sports and to a certain extent performance sports men and women, contain a variety of activities including; functional movement correction, biomechanical and neuromechanical correction, metabolic conditioning, specific muscle activation & reflex training.

Program Analysis
This consists of an assessment of the client’s current program with a view to redesign and improve the distribution of loading, density, intensity, frequency and competition preparation planning.
