TeamScreen™: Elite Injury-Prevention and Performance Screening for Teams

Over the past few years, we’ve supported some of the UK’s top sporting institutions - from elite outfits to grassroots clubs - by helping them adopt cutting-edge technology to reduce injuries and optimise performance. We’re now bringing that same innovation to ambitious local teams.

In elite sport, injuries are rarely treated as bad luck. They’re treated as signals - changes in load and movement strategy that appear long before pain or breakdown. TeamScreen™ exists to capture those signals early, using the very same technology that is trusted at the highest level of sport.

What Is TeamScreen™?

Our team-focused elite-level performance tracking.

Team Screen is a club-focused initiative that gives local amateur and semi-professional sports clubs access to the same diagnostic tools and data used within elite sporting environments - but delivered locally and affordably.

TeamScreen™ is designed as a modern approach to team screening for injury prevention, using objective data to identify compensation and risk patterns before injuries occur.

It combines elite-level sports science technology with experienced clinical interpretation to identify injury risk, performance limitation, and compensation patterns before they result in time-loss injuries.

At the heart of TeamScreen is VALD technology - the industry-leading force and movement assessment platform used across the Premier League, NFL, NBA, and Olympic programmes. Rather than relying on observation alone, TeamScreen captures objective data on how athletes move and load. Here’s what you get:

Predictive injury risk profiling using AI and the industry-leading VALD platform
Real-time biomechanical analysis tracking asymmetries, load tolerance, explosiveness, and more
Position-specific reports with actionable drills, tailored training plans, and peer benchmarking
Direct access to our sports physios for early intervention when red flags are flagged - no waiting rooms, no delays
On-site or in-clinic delivery, designed around your teams’ schedules
Rapid, team-wide assessments - just 5 minutes per player - that flag movement inefficiencies and injury risks. Ideal for quarterly team assessments

Team Screening for Injury Prevention: What TeamScreen™ Actually Measures

TeamScreen™ is not a fitness test. It’s not a checklist. And it’s not someone watching a few squats with a clipboard. At its core, TeamScreen™ uses VALD force-based technology to quantify what the eye cannot see:

Hidden asymmetries
Altered force strategies
Early changes in load tolerance

This is the difference between guessing and knowing. By using the same technology trusted in elite sport, TeamScreen™ moves screening away from opinion and towards objective, repeatable insight.

When we screen a squad, we’re not hunting for injuries. We’re looking for patterns such as: an athlete quietly unloading one side; force being produced, but at the wrong time; or compensation through the hip to protect something else. These patterns are often invisible in traditional screening - but they’re the same patterns that precede hamstring, groin, knee, and overload injuries. TeamScreen™ allows us to identify who is coping, who is compensating, and who is approaching risk - early enough to intervene intelligently.

What Teams Actually Receive

TeamScreen™ isn’t just data- it’s clarity. Each assessment produces an individual profile for every athlete, translated into clear, position-relevant outputs that coaches and performance staff can actually use - from prehab priorities to training emphasis.

TeamScreen™ is designed to be repeated across the season, allowing teams to track trends, not just snapshots.

"This isn’t your standard clipboard test or a tick-box screening. It’s intelligent, data-driven profiling that uncovers what coaches and players can’t see - giving your teams a measurable edge on the pitch. In just minutes, we generate a complete profile of each player: their strengths, risks, and where the biggest performance gains can be made."

Injury Prevention: The Bigger Picture

Most teams only become aware of a problem when a player: pulls up in training or starts missing sessions. But by that point, the system has often been compensating for weeks - sometimes months.

At the highest level of sport, injury prevention is no longer reactive. It’s data-informed, proactive, and systematic. Modern sports science shows that injury risk is rarely about one weak muscle or one poor movement. It’s about how load is shared across the body over time.

TeamScreen™ brings that same philosophy to ambitious clubs who want fewer avoidable injuries; better player availability; and smarter performance decisions. Without guesswork, and now accessible to teams who have never had that opportunity before.
