At Mechanics of Movement we provide physiotherapy for chronic hip, knee, ankle, and foot conditions through structured pathways.

​

The approach is individualised and based on objective testing and reassessment. Pathways include Return to Function for persistent lower limb injuries, RunStronger for building running load tolerance, and RunScreen for one-off performance assessment of the lower limb kinetic chain. 

​

Consultations are available Tuesday and Saturday. 

​

​

Lower Limb Pathways

 

Three pathways for the assessment and management of hip, knee, ankle, and foot conditions.

​

 

Return to Function - Lower Limb Rehabilitation

​

8–12 week pathway for persistent lower limb injuries.  

Includes initial assessment of movement, strength, load tolerance, and coordination.  

Consists of 3–4 in-person sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, with reassessment at weeks 4, 8, and 12.  

Outcome: progressive program to return to running, sport, gym, or daily activity.

 

​

​

RunStronger - Prevention & Performance

​

10–12 week pathway for building running load tolerance.  

For runners preparing for a training block, event, or increased weekly mileage.  

Includes running-specific assessment, 3–4 in-person sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart, and progress testing at weeks 4, 8, and 12.  

Outcome: individualised program targeting tissue capacity, running mechanics, and load management.

 

​

RunScreen  

​

60-minute one-off assessment focused on performance.  

Identifies strengths, weaknesses, and weak links in the kinetic chain for hip, knee, ankle, and foot function.  

Includes history, clinical examination, video gait or movement analysis where appropriate, and objective testing of strength, range, and function.  

Outcome: written report with findings and recommendations for next steps.

 

​

​

Structure  

​

​

All pathways use the same assessment and retesting framework.
