WHAT WE OFFER
We understand that everyone has different goals and needs.
Some may want to enhance their sports performance, while others may be looking to manage their weight,
return to sport after an injury, or simply stay fit and active.
Sometimes, we just want to feel fit enough to embrace the day without those nagging aches and pains.
Whatever your goal, LOAD offers evidence-based solutions through a multidisciplinary approach to help you achieve it.
Here’s a guide to what we do and the professionals who may be involved in your journey.

1. Exercise Performance Assessment
Feel like you’ve reached a plateau but don’t know what’s limiting you? Exercise performance assessments provide insights into your physical, cardiorespiratory, and metabolic function, giving you an objective benchmark of your current fitness and helping to ensure you’re on the right track with your training programme. To maximise your performance, optimise your training with scientific data rather than leaving it to chance.
2. Strength and Conditioning
Improve your sports performance by developing physical capacities such as sport-specific strength, speed, muscular endurance, aerobic power, agility, stability, and mobility.
3. Prehabilitation
Prehab, also known as preventive rehabilitation, is a proactive approach to reducing the risk of injury. By identifying and addressing muscular imbalances, weaknesses, and movement compensations, we can help reduce injury risk and support better movement.
4. Exercise Rehabilitation
Injuries can be frustrating and debilitating. We help restore functional ability and quality of life following acute or chronic injuries through exercise therapy, physical treatments, and individualised management strategies.
5. Chronic Disease Prevention and Management
Chronic diseases include conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, osteoarthritis, stroke, obesity, and asthma. We adopt an integrated approach to help prevent and manage these conditions through patient education, exercise counselling, exercise prescription, and medical nutrition therapy.
6. Weight Management
By assessing lifestyle behaviours, including physical activity patterns, eating habits, stress levels, and readiness to exercise, we help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight through individualised exercise programmes and management strategies.
7. Dietetic and Nutrition Consultation
Diet and nutrition play an essential role in our health and performance. By assessing your nutritional status, we develop individualised nutrition care plans based on your medical conditions, nutritional goals, and preferences.
8. Foot and Ankle Treatment and Management
Good foot health is essential for an active life. Our podiatrist provides assessment, treatment, and management of foot and ankle injuries and conditions, including those associated with chronic diseases such as diabetes and arthritis. Non-surgical interventions may include orthotics, tailored footwear advice, and other appropriate treatments. Our podiatrist also supports the recovery and rehabilitation of lower-limb conditions.
