Fitness Assessment

Sporting and working dogs are highly driven and will work through pain or discomfort making spotting injury or dysfunction a challenge for their handler. Periodic fitness assessments will allow you to train and compete with your dog confident in the knowledge that they are fit and able to perform at the top of their game.
Fitness assessments consists of performance evaluation (this can be in person e.g. at a training session or from video footage), video analysis, a hands-on musculoskeletal assessment and a 10-point functional strength assessment.
The outcome of these assessments can then be used to formulate a targeted fitness program. You will also receive and individualised warm-up and cool down plan for your dog.
*** Please note Fitness Assessments do not require veterinary consent as no treatment is provided during these sessions. If any injury or issue is identified you will be directed to consult with your vet. If physiotherapy treatment is appropriate a consent form must be completed***
