Physiohealth has had a long association with elite swimming dating back to the 80’s when Physiohealth founders Justin McEvoy and David Morarty competed at national level. The combination of this personal competition experience plus over 30 years of involvement in the management of club, state, national and international level swimmers ensure the staff at Physiohealth are the best placed professionals in the state to manage competitive swimmers.
Physiohealth has also been involved with Swimming Australia in the development of a musckuloskeletal screening tool to assist in identifying physical attributes that may predispose a swimmer to injury or be a limitation to performance. Physiotherapists can perform this swimmer’s screening by appointment at any Physiohealth clinic but also perform this regularly for clubs at a squad level in consultation with club coaches.
Our swim screening is designed to identify movement restrictions, muscle imbalances, and biomechanical weaknesses that can increase the risk of injury or affect swimming technique. Ideal for swimmers of all levels, the assessment helps guide personalised strength and dry-land training programs to improve performance, prevent overuse injuries, and support long-term development. Regular screenings also allow progress to be monitored and training programs to be adjusted as your body and performance evolve.
