What the Injury Prevention and Screening in Cambridge covers
A thorough movement and strength screen in Cambridge
Injuries rarely come from nowhere. They tend to follow patterns — a strength imbalance that builds under load, a mobility restriction that forces another joint to compensate, or a training volume that has outpaced tissue capacity. Injury prevention and screening in Cambridge at Tonosis identify these issues before they become problems.
Squats, lunges, hops, and sport-specific movements are used to reveal how you move under load and where compensations arise.
Glutes, hamstrings, calves, core, and shoulders are each assessed to find side-to-side asymmetries and early fatigue patterns.
Ankle, hip range, and other areas are assessed — areas where stiffness often hides and quietly forces surrounding joints to overwork.
Training volume, intensity, and weekly structure are reviewed alongside recovery habits. Sudden changes are a leading cause of soft tissue injury
Previous injuries change tissue behaviour, movement patterns, and pain thresholds. Understanding what happened before helps predict future risks.
The screen is tailored to your sport and training level — a rugby player, a marathon runner, and a gym member each have different movement .
Why prevention is more efficient than treatment: A single prevention session that identifies a glute weakness or ankle restriction takes considerably less time and disruption than the weeks of recovery that follow a hamstring tear or Achilles flare. Addressing the risk factor early is almost always the faster, cheaper path to long-term training consistency.
What you leave with
A clear, actionable plan from your first session
A clear summary of what the screen found — which areas showed risk and which were within normal limits. You then have a concrete record to refer back to.
Not a generic plan — exercises chosen specifically for your risk profile and sport. Clear explanation and instructions with video demonstration.
f your load review identifies a risk you will receive specific, practical guidance on how to adjust it without losing fitness progress.
Follow-up sessions to check your progress, advance the plan ahead of a new season or training block. Many athletes book these at three-to-six month intervals.

Do I need a current injury to book a prevention screen?
No. Injury Prevention and Screening in Cambridge
It is specifically designed for people who are currently training and want to identify risk factors before they become injuries. You do not need a current injury to book. If you do have an existing injury, a Sports Injury Assessment is the more appropriate first appointment.
What does an injury Prevention and Screening in Cambridge involve?
The screen covers movement testing (squats, lunges, hops, sport-specific movements), strength testing of glutes, hamstrings, calves, core, and shoulders, mobility checks of joints, a training load review, and past injury mapping. You leave with a written summary, tailored exercises, and guidance on training adjustments where needed.
Is a injury Prevention and Screening in Cambridge different from a sports injury assessment?
Yes. A prevention screen is proactive — it is used to identify and address risk factors before injury occurs. A sports injury assessment is for an existing injury and focuses on diagnosis, severity grading, and return-to-activity planning. Both include movement and strength testing, but their purpose and outputs differ.
How often should I have a prevention screen?
Many book a screen at the start of each season or new training block, and then follow-up sessions every month or three to six months to progress the plan and rescreen as their training evolves. A single screen provides a clear baseline and action plan; regular rescreening tracks improvement and catches new risk factors as training intensity changes.
