A musculo-skeletal spinal screening involves a detailed and thorough assessment of the following physical abilities:
- muscle strength, endurance or weakness
- any musclar dysfunction, imbalance or over patterning
- joint range of motion and flexibility
- joint proprioception (joint protection mechanisms)
- core stability, spinal stabilisation and lower limb biomechanical integrity
- cardiovascular ability and endurance
Attending to any deficiencies in these areas not only allows for optimal athletic performance to be attained but also ensures that training is done in a way that is technically proficient allowing for a quality of training and race performance.
