Project: physio

Project: physio Every individual has differing needs and goals so their personal project and journey will be unique to them.

Project: Physio is a pioneering sports physiotherapy, sports massage, and advanced rehabilitation clinic, based in Edinburgh's West End

Project: Physio | Redesigning Health, Wellness, and Performance With a combined 25 years in private physiotherapy practice and experience ranging from Rugby World Cups to Commonwealth Games our team of Stephen Mutch and Kenny Watt bring a huge amount of knowledge

, tools, and experience to project: physio. As each project progresses, our team understands and appreciates each step of the journey, adapts your treatment appropriately, and will match your clinical outcome to your goals. Our pioneering Edinburgh-based clinic is home to our sports physiotherapists and sports masseuse and our In-Clinic Consultations make use of the latest cutting edge technology

Using our Virtual Telehealth Consultation we can carry out a comprehensive assessment and review of your symptoms, and provide a tailored rehabilitation and education program that we can monitor remotely and adapt as necessary depending on your progress.

Quadriceps testing to check on progress and readiness to run.

Strain Dynamometer providing much needed data on limb symmetry index

Transitioning a patient from walking to running is a critical milestone in ACL recovery. Dynamometer data ensures the "quadriceps brake" is strong enough to handle the impact forces of running (which can be 2 to 3 times a person's body weight).

We also take a look at his weight bearing status as his squat depth increases, and the Delta Force Plates combined with the KMove provide insight into his weight bearing symmetry and force output through his eccentric and concentric phases

Projectโ€‘Run decathlete moving through a targeted lowerโ€‘leg assessment session built around the unique, highโ€‘load demands of decathlonโ€”events that require explosive takeโ€‘off, highโ€‘velocity sprinting, multidirectional control, and the ability to tolerate repeated impact across days of competition.

The session includes runโ€‘specific ankle isometric testing on force plates to quantify plantarflexor strength and stiffnessโ€”critical for sprint acceleration, long jump takeโ€‘off, and pole vault approach mechanics.

Kneeโ€‘toโ€‘wall test with checks dorsiflexion mobility, ensuring the recovering ankle can handle the deep shin angles seen in hurdles and javelin blocking.

Dynamic control is profiled through the Y Balance Test again made reliable and repeatable via the , highlighting how well the athlete stabilises in multiple planesโ€”essential for transitioning between events with very different movement demands.

Power asymmetries are captured on the with a singleโ€‘leg countermovement jump, giving insight into how the injured limb is producing and absorbing force. The session finishes with a 5/1 RSI test to assess reactive strengthโ€”vital for sprinting, hurdles, and jumps.

Together, these measures create a precise, dataโ€‘driven map of the athleteโ€™s readiness to return to the full decathlon load while guiding targeted rehab and performance progression.

Rehabilitation of a lumbar stress fracture in cricket fast bowler Connor

Work capacity building into lateral hips, bringing sets of trunk work in under fatigue.

At this stage of his rehab rather than focusing on peak power or maximal strength, we emphasizes metabolic efficiency, tissue resilience, and aerobic base development.

By utilizing higher-volume, lower-intensity workloads with shorter rest intervals, we help Connor build a more robust "engine"

This essentially widens his physiological ceiling; a higher work capacity ensures that when the program transitions into high-intensity, sport-specific phases, he can sustain a higher quality of movement for longer periods and recover more rapidly between sets or bouts of play. In his case bowling a number of facts paced overs

Return to running ankle testing for and athlete

Before we clear athletes for high-speed running, they undergo a number of tests on our Delta Force Plates. Here is why:

๐ŸŸข The Seated Calf Isometric Test:

The ankle's biggest force producer is the soleusโ€”a muscle that handles up to 8x your body weight during running.

Why we do it: By testing isometrically in a seated position, we isolate the soleus.

The Goal: Weโ€™re looking for Limb Symmetry Index (LSI). If the injured side canโ€™t produce at least 90-95% of the force of your healthy side, your ankle may have difficulty absorbing impact.

๐ŸŸข Single Leg 10/5 RSI Test

Running isn't just about strength; โ€” it's also about how quickly you can transition from landing to taking off, measured in clinic using Reactive Strength Index (RSI)

Why we do it: This test involves 10 repeated hops on a force plate. It measures how "stiff" and bouncy the ankle complex is.

The Goal: We need to see that athletes aren't "leaking" energy. If the ground contact time is too long or jump height is too low compared to the other leg, then there may still be work to do.

As part of project: run we use force plates to move from guesswork to precision.
