At FAST Running, we’re always looking for innovative ways to support our athletes’ development—and that means more than just what happens on the track.
We’re proud to announce our new partnership with Clinic 88, one of Canberra’s leading allied health clinics, to provide comprehensive musculoskeletal (MSK) screenings for our members. These screenings are a key part of our commitment to injury prevention, performance enhancement, and long-term athletic development.
What is an MSK Screening?
An MSK screening is a detailed, head-to-toe check-up for your muscles, joints, and movement patterns. It identifies imbalances, tightness, reduced mobility, and any red flags that could limit performance or lead to injury. Athletes stand, sit, and lie down during different parts of the assessment while a physio carefully tests flexibility, joint mobility, strength, and movement control.
Why are we doing this?
As a squad that welcomes athletes of all ages and experience levels—from beginners to international medalists—we know that small issues can become big problems if left unaddressed. Whether it’s a subtle ankle restriction affecting sprint technique or a postural issue from school or work, these screenings give our athletes (and coaches) early insight to stay healthy, fast, and on track.
How is it helping our athletes?
Already, athletes who’ve participated in the screenings have benefited from:
- Targeted rehab or prehab exercises
- Greater understanding of how their body moves
- Direct referrals for treatment or management plans
- Injury prevention strategies tailored to their training goals
Plus, the screenings align with FAST Running’s commitment to “Innovation in Training”—ensuring our athletes are supported with the latest science and best practice in sports performance.
What’s next?
Ongoing MSK screenings will now form part of our athlete development pathway, with priority access for FAST Running members at Clinic 88. Whether you’re a FAST Kid, a sprinter chasing a PB, or an adult athlete aiming to stay fit and strong—we’ve got your back (and knees, hips, and ankles too).
