Move4 utilise state of the art technology to find the source of your problems and monitor your progress throughout your rehab journey
At Move4 Physio in Northampton, we specialise in helping active people move better, feel stronger, and avoid injuries before they happen. Our Musculoskeletal (MSK) Screening service is the perfect way to get a full-body check-up for anyone involved in physical activity.
Whether you’re a runner, gym-goer, cyclist, or play sport at any level, this physiotherapy-based screening in Northampton is designed to assess how your body moves, how strong it is, and whether you're at risk of injury.
Musculoskeletal Screening is a detailed assessment carried out by our expert physiotherapists in Northampton. It combines clinical insight with high-level performance tools to identify:
Strength imbalances
Poor movement patterns
Hidden weaknesses that could lead to injury
We use a combination of:
Functional movement assessment
Hand-held dynamometry for muscle strength testing
Force plate testing to measure balance, control and power output
The goal is simple: help you train and move smarter, avoid future injuries, and improve performance.
As a core part of physiotherapy at our Northampton clinic, we assess how your body performs real-world movements. This includes squats, lunges, mobility tasks and more.
We identify:
Movement restrictions
Joint limitations
Coordination or control issues
Risk factors for overload or breakdown
These insights are essential for tailoring injury prevention strategies and performance improvements.
HHD is a physiotherapy tool we use to accurately measure muscle strength. It’s far more precise than manual muscle testing and gives you a reliable baseline for future comparison.
We typically test:
Glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, and calves
Shoulder and core muscles
Left vs right asymmetries
This helps prevent injuries by targeting the areas most likely to cause issues — before they do.
At our Northampton physio clinic, force plates give us incredible insight into how your body interacts with the ground — essential in most sports and gym-based training.
We analyse:
How much force you can produce (power output)
Balance and postural control
How you absorb and generate force
Side-to-side differences and compensation patterns
This data helps us make informed decisions to improve your movement strategy and prevent overload.
This Northampton-based injury prevention service is ideal for:
Recreational or competitive runners, cyclists, and gym users
Teen athletes in school or club sport
Anyone returning to sport or training post-injury
People with a history of recurring niggles
Active adults looking for a physio MOT or performance edge
Following your MSK Screening, you’ll receive:
A detailed breakdown of findings
A personalised report highlighting any risks or asymmetries
Expert advice from our physiotherapists on how to reduce injury risk
A clear, actionable plan for rehab or performance enhancement
All sessions are held at Move4 Physio, Northampton’s specialist physiotherapy clinic.
Most injuries develop over time — through small imbalances, poor loading, or unnoticed weakness. A proactive musculoskeletal screening in Northampton allows us to flag these early, giving you the tools to address them before they cause problems.
Whether you're aiming to stay injury-free, return to sport, or simply feel stronger, this is a smarter way to train.
