Movement is at the core of what we do and improving your movement can help in improving sporting performance and reducing the risk of injuries recurring.
Book Your TPM Movement Screen NowDo you suffer with injuries that keep coming back or are your injuries stopping you from reaching your sporting goals?
Whether you would like to prevent that recurring pain from showing its head, or you are a recreational runner or a professional athlete looking to improve your performance we can help you!
A Research based movement screening tool
TPM is one of the world’s most insightful, research based movement screening tools used today in private practices around both the uk and the world, and in elite sport by the likes of Southampton FC.
It allows our movement specialists to identify weak links in your movement systems by performing a series of functional tests.
Assessing via our TPM Screen will help find the areas where you can improve your movement, increase strength and flexibility, we can then create a personalised exercise programme to address these issues, help you achieve your goals, reduce your risk of injury and ultimately enhance your sporting performance.
Working on these areas will help you to build strength, improve flexibility, and improve coordination of movement.
Which will ultimately reduce the risk of your injuries coming back and enhancing your sporting performance by improving how efficiently you are moving.
Prevention & Performance Benefits
“Normal movement” is difficult to define, as there is no one correct way to move and a task can be performed in a variety of different ways. The way we move is affected by many factors including pain, injury, fatigue and restrictions which are inherent in life, aging and in sport and occupational demands.
Due one or more often a few of the above factors we can lose the ability to move in a variety of different ways. Losing movement options and repeatedly using one way of moving is very inefficient and can lead to poor execution of movement patterns and repeated stress being placed on particular areas of our body resulting in pain and injury.
Remember – most injuries seen in clinics are non- traumatic and repetitive in nature!
All sports involve us having to move our bodies, and all sports create a demanding environment in which we have to subject our bodies too. Moving efficiently allows us to optimise what we can do with our body.
Preparing our muscle systems to execute skills to the best of our ability, reducing energy wastage from moving better, improving our strength, coordination of movement and flexibility helps us deal better with the fatiguing, stressful environment that is playing sport, this will only serve to improve your sporting performance.
The 4 Stage Plan
We pride ourselves in getting you to Move Better, Feel Better, and Perform Better and we look forward to helping you achieve this.
We will analyse your movement with our expertise and technology. This is done by carrying out a series of functional tests to find “weak links” and inefficient movement patterns which will guide our retraining plans and strategies.
Your movement specialist will then evaluate your results from your TPM screen with you, relating these results back to your previous injury or performance history and your goals. An individualised training program targeting areas that need work will be devised in conjunction with yourself.
To correct these movement impairments, re-training is essential.. You need to work on your body to change it!
Exercises need to be carried out correctly, and consistently, progressed or changed to be made more challenging at the right times to enable your body to adapt and improve. Re-training in the right way will transform how you move and ultimately allow you to achieve your goals.
After completing your re-training, a re-screen will be necessary to track your improvement, see how you have progressed and what areas still require work. This enables us to guide you, and target the right areas for you moving forwards. We will provide you with ongoing training advice (new updated programs) and support helping you move forwards in the right direction helping you achieve your goals.
Modern Day Physio at its best!!!
After a serious of illnesses which led to me experiencing daily migraines/headaches, I sought out Movement Matters. Scott did my initial assessment and was able to recreate my headaches/migraines by pressing down on my neck! He came up with a comprehensive treatment plan and explained how the pain was multi-factorial: new parent/lack of sleep/reduction in exercise/stress/desk work. Due to this the recovery process was and still is a self-learning process! I learned a lot from Scott: how I have been over using my upper neck muscles, creating a healthy mindset (acceptance and letting things go) and actually putting me first. This might sound wishy washy to you but the experience has changed my outlook on life and I am very grateful to Scott as I no longer wake up in pain. Should you suffer from pain and are looking for a holistic/modern way of treating pain, please go and book an appointment with Movement Matters now rather than wait for your body to completely break down or burn out. P.S. The receptionists are all really lovely which is an added bonus!

After my ACL reconstruction surgery in February I was unsure of what the next steps were for rehabilitation. NHS physio visits once every six weeks, between 12-20 minutes a time were not very reassuring. I was recommended to visit Movement Matters Physio. Scott has provided me with the best Post Operation Physio I could ask for. Weekly visits to the clinic with changes to my exercises and training plans help keep me motivated and focused on my end goal of returning to sport. My Testing Session gave data which really helped put my progress into perspective and allowed me to see how far I’ve come since starting at Movement Matters Physio. Thank you so much!! 😀

I have been seeing Beth at Movement Matters for the past few months for a torn tendon, which is slowly recovering under Beth’s expert care. Part of my treatment has included 3 sessions of Shockwave Therapy which has definitely kick started my recovery . I cannot fault this practice in anyway. The whole team there are so friendly, extremely knowledgeable and really go out of their way to help you. I cannot recommend this Practice highly enough and especially Beth for the care and attention she has given me. Thank you to you all.

I have seen both Scott & Sarah over the past 2 months, following severe damage to my spinal cord.
I have received amazing care & advice, with programmes specifically designed to assist with my development. The equipment & techniques are modern & effective.I have a very long road ahead of me but the progress I have made, after being told 6 months ago I wouldn’t walk, is overwhelming.
My confidence has grown with each session & I am happy that my ongoing journey is going to be with the team at Movement Matters by my side.
The clinic itself is spotless & all of the staff are welcoming & friendly.
Very highly recommended.

My 93 year old father had an emergency hip replacement. After 2 weeks in hospital and 3 weeks at
his home he had made very little progress. We were advised that it would be very difficult for him to
walk again.
Not wanting to give up we contacted Movement Matters and Beth came to see him for the initial visit.
We were very impressed with what she managed to achieve so booked more sessions.
He has now had 7 sessions seeing either Beth or Scott. Both have worked wonders with him. His
walking is much better and the exercises they have helped him with are improving his overall
strength.
I can’t thank them enough

I first began using Movement matters physio at the the end of March 2021 after suffering a leg break,
Ankle dislocation and tear of the deltoid ligament. I can’t recommend these guys enough. They have
been so helpful and supportive during my rehab. On my bad days, they lifted me up and made me
determined to keep on going! They gave me all the attention and care I needed and were always so
helpful and understanding.
18 months later, I went into the studio to do a strength test with them and am so happy with the
results and progress I have made with their help, after being told by doctors that I would be lucky to
get back 80% of my ankle mobility/strength after the injury. Today I matched the strength in weight
and reps with the other leg and am so happy to have recovered the way I have and to be back to
playing football and running after having many doubts whether I’d be able to again. I can’t recommend
Scott and the team enough! They are truly incredible!

I was recommended using MMP, and they have been brilliant!!! They have an absolute top notch
team. The receptionists are all extremely welcoming and friendly, and having worked with Scott on a
previous back issue the whole team make you feel part of the MMP family.
This time I had the pleasure of working with Ausrine since injuring a shoulder tendon doing Martial
Arts. My treatment has included Acupuncture, Shockwave Therapy, Massage Therapy as well as
Physical Therapy. Ausrine has been friendly, knowledgeable. Through my personalised program she
has helped to return my shoulder to full functionality, and also highlighted the root cause which was
specific weak areas of my shoulder. Now I have a training program which has been tailored to
compliment my Martial Arts, as well as addressing the weak areas which caused the original issue –

Ausrine was great and picked up my injury from the first appointment and helped me to get the movement & strength testing
needed. Ausrine and Scott have helped me massively, forcing me to rest then helping with my return
to running and a strength and conditioning programme based on my weaknesses to get me back on
track for my iron man. They’ve got me from being a few runs away from causing myself some serious
damage to 3 weeks from my first iron man. Everyone is super helpful and friendly. Can’t recommend
them

I used Scott a few years ago when he worked wonders getting me back on my feet following a hip replacement. This time I had an issue with my knee and didn’t hesitate to return to him.
Scott has provided me with great care, support and treatment throughout, and I have recovered brilliantly. The combination of his treatment and exercise based rehabilitation has worked a treat.
His knowledge is excellent and the practice has great facilities. Would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to get high quality physio.
Thanks Scott

Recommend “Movement Matters’, Scott has been brilliant! 6 months steady treatment with an exercise program has seen me go from scared to go anything strenuous in case my hip pain (arthritis) become worse, to running 2 – 3 times a week and being pretty much pain free. Scott has helped me build the supportive muscles around my hip to prevent the pain and enable me to return to an activity I love! Thanks Scott.

I have been working with Scott now for over 4 years, originally this was purely just for treatment for a neck injury but during this time I realised the importance of preventing injury and not just seeking help when something goes wrong.
I was also very quick to place all my pain down to something being wrong with my body, but by talking things through with Scott it made me look at other external factors that were affecting my road to recovery i.e sleep, nutrition, mental wellbeing etc.
Once my original injury was under control I continue to have monthly sessions to further improve my fitness and get their guidance on the right conditioning exercises for me. They help me get the right training schedules, varying my exercise to further improve my fitness to tolerate more running.
With their help I have seen improvements in particular areas of weakness and have now been running injury free for over a year and half.
I would highly recommend the team to anyone, especially those who are not just looking for a quick fix and are willing to invest in a longer term solution to support their fitness goals.

I can’t recommend Movement Matters Physiotherapy highly enough. I’d suffered from lower back pain on and off since my early teens, culminating in spinal surgery in 2015.
Scott has taken me all the way from post surgery back to being really active. I now have exercise programs Scott has prescribed for m which I complete 3 times a week as well as cycling regularly, all with no pain!
What sets Scott apart from other physios that I’ve worked with is that, whilst pain management is important, this is just the starting point. From the very first session, he is talking about long term prevention and what comes after the pain has gone.
Scott’s approach is that it’s not just a focus on the physical, but that the psychological is as if not more, important to achieving long term goals.
I now see Scott once a month, where we look at everything and tweak the workouts tat we’ve put together to keep things interesting and goal orientated.
Ultimately, what I’ve found with Scott is that he will be fully committed and will tailor his approach to suit you, rather than a once size fits all. And to top it all off he’s a really nice guy an a pleasure to work with.
