Function & Performance Testing
in Edinburgh

Test Your Body. Understand Performance. Improve Results.

Function and Performance Testing at Balanced utilises state of the art objective measurement tools such as force decks and dynamos to give you clear insight into how your body is moving and performing. We start by understanding your goals, concerns and activity demands, then use clinical expertise and specific testing to assess areas such as strength, balance, power, control, mobility and symmetry. Your results are explained clearly and used to create a practical plan for training, rehabilitation, injury prevention or a confident return to sport and activity.

Don't just take our word for it...

Tell us your goals. We’ll show you how to reach them.

At Balanced, we follow a clear Problem → Advice → Solution approach to Function and Performance Testing.

You tell us your goals, concerns or questions. We start by understanding what you want to achieve and what may be holding you back.

We then assess your performance and movement using clinical expertise and objective testing. This allows us to look at strength, power, balance, coordination, joint movement, control and any differences between one side of the body and the other.

From there, we provide a clear, practical plan to help you improve. Your results help us identify what needs work, whether that is building strength, improving balance, correcting movement patterns, reducing injury risk, or helping you make a confident decision about returning to sport.

You will receive clear feedback, measurable data and advice you can use to guide your training, rehabilitation or ongoing treatment.

How Testing Helps You Improve

Function and performance testing helps identify exactly how your body is moving, where weaknesses or asymmetries may be holding you back, and what to focus on next.

Using specialist equipment and clinical expertise, we measure strength and power, balance and coordination, movement efficiency and areas of reduced control.

You’ll receive a clear report highlighting the key findings, with practical recommendations to guide your treatment, training or rehabilitation.

This gives you measurable targets and a better understanding of how to improve safely and effectively.
