Clinical Update (August 09)

Since stopping our running shop we have focussed our attentions to improve our Biomechanical Assessment & Orthotic services.  This has been a great success and has allowed us to offer a more technical and in-depth analysis of which the results can be easily interpreted across a range of disciplines. We always value feedback on the way that we report, as we try to construct this relative to the individuals receiving it.  Our Orthotic service remains the same - providing a bespoke product relative to the usage and not just made without any regard to the shoe that they go into.

I would like to welcome to the Team, Apex Sports (Mike & Matt) who are a running specialist shop in Farnham Common and it is thanks to them that we continue to stay up to date on what is current with running footwear.  They are also our preferred supplier of running shoes.  Please feel free to visit their new website on www.apex-sports.co.uk nevertheless, if their store is not convenient for you or your patients/clients then we can simply give our shoe prescription to get from a local supplier…… many options available.

We now offer Sports Medicine Testing.  Again no retail means more time????? So we added another service offering.

Here we are able to measure an individuals:

  • VO2 (cosmed)
  • Lactate/Anaerobic Threshold (cosmed)
  • Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) (cosmed)
  • Full Body Composition (bodystat)

Historically, such tests have been subject to the elite athletic population and not to the general exercising groups.  We have invested as a clinic to open these services to such groups allowing for greater accuracy when writing training programmes for endurance events such as 10km, Half Marathons, Marathons, triathlons etc (VO2, Lactate Threshold),  to understanding the metabolic needs for Fat Loss (RMR)

We can conduct the VO2 and Lactate tests on

  • Treadmill
  • Bike
  • Rower

I guess at the moment that this is enough about us, but when you have a moment, why not jump on our website to review some articles or understand more about our services.
