Swimmers Screening Programme

Over-use or repetitive microtrauma injuries such as shoulder and knee pain are common amongst swimmers.

At Physio in the City we have in place an injury prevention screening protocol and a lumbo-pelvic program to assess and maximize a swimmer’s ‘core’ stability. This screening program is assist in injury management and prevention, as well as maximizing a swimmers potential.

The screening process involves analysis of the particular areas of the body specific to swimming. These results are compared to our database of ideal values and an individualized exercise program is devised and prescribed to the swimmer

• The program has been developed with Sports Physiotherapists involved with both the Australian and English Institute of Sport, as well as specialist swim coaches. The program aims to reduce the incidence of a range of acute and soft tissue conditions seen commonly in swimmers

• All of this leads to the swimmer being able to train harder and spend more time in the water thus optimizing their potential while reducing injury occurrence!

• Screenings take place within one of our clinics, or pool deck screenings can be arranged for larger groups

For more information on prices for individual assessments and group assessments please contact on the number or email below. We can also do these assessments at poolside as well as in one of our 4 clinics across London.

Health Insurance companies may cover the cost as part of your Physiotherapy treatment if your injury is swimming related
