Pathways // 01 to 05

Clinical specialisms structured around movement mechanics.

Care at Stride Physio is partitioned into five distinct clinical pathways. Each protocol begins with objective physical evaluation and follows an evidence-led recovery timeline designed for Manchester athletes and active individuals.

[ 01 // DIAG ] Initial 45-60 min

Injury Assessment

Root-cause triage for acute sprains, recurrent joint instability, and soft-tissue trauma. Includes orthopedic baseline testing, palpation, and a clear diagnostic roadmap.

Joint laxity testing Neurological screening Loading tolerance
[ 02 // SURG ] Staged Milestones

Post-Surgery Rehabilitation

Protocol-driven recovery following ACL reconstruction, meniscal repair, joint arthroscopy, and tendon reattachment. We coordinate closely with consultant orthopedic instructions.

Early graft protection Swelling resolution Return-to-sport testing
[ 03 // GAIT ] High-Speed Video

Running Gait Analysis

Frame-by-frame biomechanical video telemetry addressing cadence asymmetries, heel-strike braking forces, and pelvic drop to resolve chronic shin splints, patellar tendon pain, and plantar fascia strain.

Sagittal vector mapping Cadence optimization Footwear guidance
[ 04 // TISS ] Manual Therapy

Sports Massage

Targeted myofascial release and deep-tissue mobilization aimed at hypertonic muscles, restricted connective bands, and lymphatic clearance after intense training blocks or acute flare-ups.

Neuromuscular trigger points Fascial shear recovery Pre-event preparation
[ 05 // KINE ] Reformer + Mat

Clinical Pilates

Physiotherapist-guided movement retraining focused on deep spinal stabilizing systems, lumbo-pelvic control, and balanced limb loading using studio reformers and dedicated spring resistance.

Protocol Note

Pathways are non-exclusive. Most treatment programmes combine hands-on tissue restoration with structured movement progression to protect long-term load capacity.
