We have designed a full body injury prevention assessment to identify your injury prone areas and implement a “prevention” program specifically tailored for you.
Fortunately, The Northern Beaches has become more and more active especially with all the sporting activities in Narrabeen and Collaroy area all the way to our lovely Dee Why, Freshwater and Manly. But the only downside is the susceptibility of injury comes with the level of physical demand.

A few tips to help prevent injuries
Warm up - To increase blood circulation and mild-body awareness
Regular stretching - To improve flexibility and resilience
Coaching - To learn the correct form and technique required for your type of training/sport and getting the right strength and conditioning program to improve your soft tissue tolerance
