MOVE BETTER → FEEL BETTER → PERFORM BETTER
Improving movement efficiency and staying injury-free are critical if you want to unlock your peak performance.
Meet Charné du Plessis (Swart) — a 5th-year medical student at the University of Pretoria and an elite 800m middle-distance athlete. Recently, she clocked an impressive 1:58.98, earning automatic qualification for the World Athletics Championships in September 2025.
So, what contributed to Charné’s remarkable progress?
It wasn’t just about running more or training harder — it was about training smarter and ensuring efficient movement patterns.
At We Manage Movement, we regularly assessed Charné using The Performance Matrix (TPM) — a cutting-edge screening system designed to identify impairments and asymmetries that increase the risk of injury during both low- and high-threshold activities.
Through TPM, we identified weak links that were limiting her performance and increasing her injury risk, such as:
• Lateral rotation control of the lower leg
• Medial rotation at the hip
• Excessive foot pronation
Armed with these insights, we tailored a personalized retraining program to address her specific needs. This included:
• Targeted movement control drills to improve coordination and stability
• Strength training to optimize movement under high loads and fatigue
This wasn’t just about getting stronger — it was about channelling force effectively and at the right time. That’s the power of movement science: Train smarter → Perform better.
