The Baseline Method

Your athlete's performance compass

The initial clinical assessment captures 30+ parameters across walking, running, sprinting and jumping — creating a unique movement fingerprint for each athlete.

Updated monthly, this baseline reveals performance trends, detects early warning signs, and tracks the impact of training changes over time.

Return to Play Protocol: When an athlete is injured, the rehab programme targets their last known pre-injury baseline — giving the medical team an objective, measurable endpoint instead of subjective assessment.

Sport Use Cases
From pre-season screening
to return to play.
01

Monthly Squad Performance Tracking

Establish individual baselines for every squad member. Repeat monthly to monitor progress, detect emerging asymmetries, and objectively measure training impact. Build a longitudinal dataset that turns guesswork into data-driven decisions.

02

Pre-Season Screening

Identify mechanical imbalances before they lead to injury. Flag at-risk athletes and adapt conditioning based on individual biomechanical profiles.

03

Return to Play Protocol

After ACL, hamstring or Achilles injury, use the last known baseline as the recovery target. Measure rehab progress objectively until baseline is reached.

In-Clinic Return To Play Assessment

The compass for
Return To Play.

The first assessment captures each athlete's movement signature — in their shoes, on real terrain, at real speed.

A short battery of tests — walking, running, CMJ, single hop, triple hop, side hop — maps their natural gait, force distribution, and left-right asymmetries across every movement pattern that matters. Repeated throughout the season, it becomes a living benchmark: tracking performance gains, flagging early decline, and setting the exact target when injury strikes.

Objective clearance: Athletes are cleared when their real-world data matches their pre-injury signature — not before.
