WHY SHOULD YOU GET TESTED?
Check out the short clip to find out why our 9- step testing system will help you be physically and mentally prepared for sport.
ARE YOU REALLY READY TO RETURN TO SPORT?
Our return to sport testing system helps amateur and elite athletes get the answers and confidence they need to take the next step towards their return!
Currently, approximately only 10% of people pass a return to sport test battery before returning to sport, putting themselves at a significantly greater chance of injury.
This results in approximately 20-30% of people reinjuring their knees.
But don’t fear; research has shown that if you pass return to sport criteria, your risk of injury is reduced by up to 90%.
We utilise the latest evidence and some of the most advanced sports science technology available to identify your strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots

Our 9-Step Testing System
1) A complete understanding of your injury history and goals
To help you, we need to understand you. The first step is getting a thorough history of your injury, rehab, and goals.
2) Clinical baseline assessment
Make sure the fundamental boxes are ticked. Assess your pain levels, range of motion, flexibility, swelling and ligament laxity.
3) Strength benchmarking
We use our specialised equipment to assess symmetry between limbs and compare to benchmark standards for your gender, weight, and sport. Strength is the foundation of resilience.
4) Power and plyometric assessment
A battery of hop and jump tests to assess your leg power and plyometric ability. Ensure that you can handle the demands of sport and move in all planes of motion.
5) VALD Performance force plate analysis
Utilising the latest in sport science technology, we can dive deep into how you move to identify weaknesses and blind spots not possible to see with the eye.
6) Agility and landing assessment
It is not enough to be strong. It is a recipe for disaster if you still do the fundamental sporting actions with poor technique.
7) Psychological screening
One of the biggest reasons people don’t return to sport or do not return to their previous best is a lack of confidence and fear of reinjury. Our screening will identify those not mentally ready to step back on the field.
8) Return to sport test report
Receive a detailed report highlighting your strengths and weaknesses.
9) Testing session de-brief
Once you receive your results, you will receive a call from us. Dive into your results so you genuinely understand what they mean and confidently map your return to sport.
Our Customer Reviews
Helen ReedFebruary 19, 2025. I cannot speak more highly of the service that I am receiving from Gold Coast Knee Group. I have 2 meniscus tears, a partial tendon tear and osteoarthritis in my right knee and for a keen runner this is a pretty scary diagnosis. After a thorough assessment there was no false hope, but a greater understanding of my condition and an assurance that with hard work and time I could significantly improve my strength and mobility, reduce my pain and eventually return to running. The aim at the moment is to build up strength in the muscles supporting my knee but without aggravating my knee. This is definitely a skill that needs a lot of practice by someone who is overseen to progress, but with help I’m learning to listen to my body and know when to stop or reduce intensity. Adrian prescribes the specific exercises and regularly measures my progress and adapts the exercises accordingly. Seeing strength measurements improve is a real boost. Although I’m not running at the moment, Adrian has explained about the best forms of aerobic training that I can do instead ( which was different to what I’d been doing) and we are hoping to reintroduce some run/walk very soon. Not only can I see physical progress but having a great understanding of my condition through suggested reading materials and on going learning, I am less stressed, more hopeful and am training/rehabbing with purpose again. Thank you Gold Coast Knee Group. Sam TonFebruary 7, 2025. Adam and his team, particularly Kendal, at Gold Coast Knee Group, Robina, are exceptional physiotherapists. Their expertise, patience, and caring attitude made me feel at ease throughout my treatment. They took the time to explain my injury of a ruptured ACL and torn meniscus, answer my questions, and provide personalised exercises to aid in my knee recovery. I highly recommend Gold Coast Knee to anyone seeking first-rate physiotherapy care." Tammy MurphyNovember 7, 2024. My young daughter Tia had the most amazing experience with this program after her ACL reconstitution. The physios are the best (Special mention to our awesome physio Graham) - they are all so knowledgeable, friendly, professional & understanding. The program they offer is amazing - offering so much physically & mentally. Thanks Adam, Graham & the GC Knee Team. Linda GillowayNovember 7, 2024. We are so grateful for Adam, Ben and the team at GCKG for their knowledge and expertise in ACL rehab. Thank you for your support over the past 6 months with Jake's rehab. Would highly recommend your program! Kyle clarkOctober 29, 2024. The team here are great the training testing and physios here are top tier especially Zachariah Kristy MenziesOctober 21, 2024. My son Tom had to have surgery to repair his ACL that he completely tore. We joined the Gold Coast Knee Group who helped with Tom’s rehab. 12 months later he has made a full recovery and now returning to sport, which we would not have been able to do with as much confidence as we do now thanks to the team. Special thanks to Adrain and Zak.. Highly recommend this team of professionals…. Taelor PackerOctober 4, 2024. I couldn’t recommend Adam from the GC knee group more, I have had osteoarthritis in my knee for 7 years from an injury and have been to many physios and tried every treatment and haven’t been able to fix my pain. After seeing Adam and following the plans he gives me, he has taught me how to make my knee stronger and I now live pain free and have never been happier. Thankyou Adam ☺️☺️ Fernanda VialSeptember 3, 2024. My daughter Matilda Vial wrote this out .."I absolutely loved attending all the sessions with the trainers. It gave me the confidence to get back playing the sport that I love . I had meniscus surgery in January and after 7 months of rehab with Gold Coast Knee Group I am playing again! My knee and fitness has never been better. The testing they do gave me confidence as I could actually see the results, and how the strength on my bad leg was getting stronger. The care and kindness showed to me was 5 star! I highly recommend Gold Coast Knee Group for any knee injuries." Matilda Vial (Rugby 7's) Indi RussellJune 20, 2024. I don’t usually leave google reviews. But in this case, it would be silly not to as I know how hard it can be to find help with sporting injuries. Compared to the normal support you receive - this knee group allows you to understand what it takes to help you return to your sport. Also the fact that you are a part of a group of people that are in a similar boat makes you feel like you are not alone. Everyone in the group is very welcoming, that goes for the physiotherapists and the member's. Couldn't recommend more!!! Now I’m back to skateboarding and feeling better than I ever felt - stronger, more aware and confident that I can do what I love doing again! Can’t thank all of the physios enough for the help I have received along the way - caring and passionate is an understatement and they are all great people in general! Now onto resilient athlete program with gc knee group to help maintain what I have worked for over these months of rehab and stoked to be continuing my journey with these absolute legends! Thank you for everything team 🙏🙏🙏
