The knee is one of the most complex
— and vulnerable — joints in the body.

Injury, pain, and even re-injury are common because knees take the brunt of every jump, twist, and change of direction.

ACL surgeries in the UK are on adults over 40. Knee vulnerability isn't just a young athlete's problem.

Athletes re-injure their ACL within two years of returning to play — often because hidden deficits weren't addressed.

3–6×

Higher risk for female athletes in pivoting sports like football and netball, making prevention just as important as rehab.

33%

Of athletes never return to their pre-injury level of sport after an ACL reconstruction.

20–30%

Whether your knee is sore now and you want to avoid injury or surgery, or you're in rehab or finished but still not 100% — Knee Performance Profiling uncovers the gaps with advanced testing and expert analysis, giving you clarity and a clear plan forward.

The Assessment

In just one hour, we'll test
what really matters.

01

Strength Ratios

Underpins all sporting actions — strength forms the bedrock of physical performance and is the first thing we establish.

02

Jump & Landing Mechanics

Most sporting actions happen at speed and under load. We assess how well your knee absorbs and produces force in dynamic conditions.

03

Change of Direction

If you can absorb force well, you can tolerate the high forces produced in sport. We test your knee's ability to handle directional stress.

04

Performance Benchmarks

Your results are compared against yourself (LSI) and population norms — so you know exactly where you stand, not just how you feel.

You won't just leave with numbers — you'll leave with clear answers, expert feedback, and personalised guidance to move forward with confidence.

What my clients think

James has been my PT for a couple of years. He's helped me get back into a good workout routine and is very knowledgeable — great at working around the issues of my aging body. The coaching sessions are always varied and fun. Highly recommended.

I came to James after years of recurring issues that kept me from playing field hockey. His programming is evidence-based and tailored to me as an individual. Since working with him, I've been able to play consistently and injury-free. I can't recommend James highly enough.

Harry MartinField Hockey Player

I've been working with James for just over a year after losing confidence following an ACL injury. James has such deep knowledge that you just know he has your back. My knee is the strongest it's ever felt and I've achieved things I wouldn't have thought possible.

Training for both an Ironman 70.3 and a full Ironman required a thoughtful approach — and James delivered exactly that. Thanks to his coaching, I've trained consistently while staying injury-free. What sets James apart is his deep understanding of how strength integrates with endurance sport demands.

Connie TramIronman Athlete

"

James rebuilt my confidence and coached me to complete a marathon, shave 3 minutes off my PB, and then take my 10k from 42 mins to sub-39 — something I'd been trying to do on my own for 15 years. His tailored approach and patience are second to none.
