At The Addison, athletic screening is built on the principles of sports science and years of experience in elite sport. We assess the specific demands of your sport and evaluate strength, mobility, movement control, and power to understand how your body performs under load.


We use equipment from VALD to capture objective strength and capacity data. This allows us to identify performance strengths, inefficiencies, and potential injury risks with clarity — moving beyond guesswork to informed decision-making.


Your results guide a tailored plan focused on performance improvement, injury prevention, and long-term development, supported when needed by our sports medicine, massage therapy, and recovery services.


Athletic screening at The Addison translates assessment into clear, actionable progress for athletes across the Inner West.

Ben's creates simple and achievable programs for all clients and ensure that longevity is at the forefront of their rehab plan.
