Praxis Biomechanics Lab
The ultimate PREVENT PREPARE PERFORM package!
This assessment is designed for athletes who want to take their training and performance to the next level.

Physiotherapists with exercise physiology and biomechanics qualifications will provide comprehensive advice along with a targeted and individualised exercise program based off the most current peer reviewed research.

Session 2 entails:

Session 3 - Exercise Prescription and Demonstration
Between sessions two and three, our skilled physiotherapists further refine their analysis of your Session 2 testing and begin the process of addressing any and all deficits highlighted.
