WVAS partners with Federation University to provide musculoskeletal screenings of all WVAS athletes throughout the year. Students undertaking post-graduate study in a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology - School of Health and Life Sciences, Exercise and Sport Science at Fed Uni are supervised by Dr. Deb Pascoe & Dr. Warrick Chilton, whilst delivering the screens and when developing a Home Exercise program for each athlete following the screening process.
Athletes are put through a specific and detailed assessment of posture, range of movement, balance, flexibility and control of muscles, skeletal and muscular imbalances, as well as a thorough analysis of joints and nerves, specific to each sport.
The musculoskeletal screens are used by WVAS Strength and Conditioning Coaches to identify areas of improvement and develop programs which increase performance and decrease the likelihood of overuse injury.
Home Exercise programs are developed by the Exercise Physiologists and a copy of the report is provided to the Strength and Conditioning coaches
