Why we use BFR + Flywheel in early ACL rehab

BFR from

- Early after ACL surgery, heavy loading isn’t safe
- Quadriceps still needs a strong stimulus
- BFR creates high muscle activation with very low load
- Meaning we can protect the graft and build strength

Flywheel from

- Flywheel training gives constant resistance through the full range
- And controlled eccentric overload
- Ideal for rebuilding strength, power, and tendon capacity early

Introducing Our Newest Project: Bike Supported Rider —

We’re incredibly excited to welcome Arianne into the Project: Bike program

Arianne rides for the Handsling Alba UCI Continental Team and has already built a palmarès that speaks for itself:

- 2025 Scottish Olympic TT Champion
- 2023 Scottish Hill Climb Champion
- 2nd at the Scottish Road Race Championships
- 3rd at the Scottish Hill Climb Championships
- 13th at the 2025 British TT Championships
- Multiple top‑40 finishes and a top‑30 on GC in UCI races
- Competed in the Women’s Tour of Britain in both 2024 and 2025

Arianne brings a relentless work ethic, and the hunger to keep pushing the ceiling of Scottish cycling. She’s exactly the kind of athlete we are happy to support — ambitious, grounded, and ready to squeeze every watt out of her potential.

Joining Project: Bike means Arianne isn’t just getting “support” — she’s stepping into a high‑performance environment built around objective data, smart programming, and the kind of detail that moves the needle for elite riders.

She will have the opportunity to benefit from:

Full Performance Testing/Objective Tracking/ Sports Physiotherapy

- Comprehensive strength, power, and asymmetry profiling using force plates and cutting edge measurement tools
- Regular sports physiotherapy and re‑testing to track progress, guide training decisions, and reduce injury risk
- Clear, actionable data that feeds directly into her on‑bike performance goals

Individualised Strength & Conditioning Programming

- Bespoke S&C plans designed around her race calendar, discipline demands, and current metrics
- Progressive loading strategies to build sustainable power, resilience, and repeatability

We can’t wait to help support the next phase of her performance journey.

Welcome to Project: Bike, Arianne.

Return to run work and testing for .revitt

Our return to run testing is a structured, objective decision‑making process that reduces reinjury risk, restores performance capacity, and gives athletes confidence. It blends biomechanics, strength capacity, and plyometric/reactive qualities.

Videod traadmill gait analysis gives you a real‑time window into how the athlete distributes load, compensates, and manages impact forces.

The calf–Achilles complex is the primary engine of running. It absorbs and produces enormous forces—often 6–8× bodyweight with every step. .natera
Run Specific Ankle test provides us with essential data.

The single leg drop jump RSI is a critical measure of reactive strength, tendon function, and impact readiness. Testing reactive qualities on one leg at a time mirrors the real demands placed on the lower limb far more accurately than bilateral tests

Together, they give us and Ella a 360° view of readiness:

- Strength ensures the tissues can tolerate load.
- Gait ensures the load is distributed safely.
- RSI ensures the athlete can handle the reactive demands of running.

Real data. Real performance. Real progress.

From force plates to strength profiling, every athlete gets a precision snapshot of where they are today—and a roadmap for where they can go next.

This is how we build faster, stronger, more resilient runners.

Let’s get to work.

Project: Osteo Rehab is our specialist exercise programme designed for people living with osteopenia or osteoporosis who want to build strength, improve confidence, and take control of their long‑term bone health.

Led by clinicians trained in the latest evidence-based approaches, these classes combine targeted resistance training, balance work, and functional movement to help you move better and live stronger.

Why It Works

- Builds bone strength through safe, progressive loading proven to stimulate bone density.

- Improves balance and stability, reducing the risk of falls and everyday injuries.

- Enhances confidence in movement, especially for those who feel unsure or restricted.

- Supports posture and mobility, making daily tasks easier and more comfortable.

- Creates a supportive community, guided by experts who understand your condition and your goals.

Supporting talented rider with his shift into running

As an excellent endurance athlete on the bike we now start to plan his adaptation to running.

Using our Delta Force Plates we assess his calf performance using .natera
Run Specific Ankle Isometric.

The HHD is then fixed to assess lateral hip strength.

Moving from the bike to running asks some new challenges of Alex's calfs and hips..

🟢 Shock Absorption: Upon landing in running, your calves act like springs, absorbing forces that can be 3–8 times your body weight.

🟢 Energy Return: Strong calves in running efficiently store and release elastic energy via the stretch shortening cycle

🟢 In cycling the calfs primary job is isometric stabilization with no landing phase.

Our goals with Alex will be to build calves that can handle high-impact elasticity and hips that provide a rock-solid foundation for power.

Just out his brace and with the appropriate range available we use the Delta Force plates to monitor weightbearing and especially the unweighting phase of his wall slide.

The unweighting phase is often the most overlooked part of a squat, yet it’s essential for generating explosive power and maintaining structural integrity.

And with that he is discharged....sort of....

An incredible journey for ....from a hugely complex fracture, rehab, metalwork removal then more rehab he is now back riding his bike unhindered

It's been quite the trip!

While we like to shout about rehab being data driven, at the end it's alwayshuman driven....joint decision making, trusting each other ( and the process), navigating the downs as well as celebrating the ups...

As of last week our symmetry index on all testing is within 10%, but most importantly he can ride unhindered and is back doing what he does best

As he returns to racing we will continue to monitor progress, but for now, here is to Lachlan and incredible perseverance.

This just may be one of the best pictures we have ever taken within project: physio, and probably one we are most proud of.

An incredible mum, working hard to find her way back to sport, under the proud gaze of her new little lady.

A place that people feel safe and cared for when they enter, where support, and genuine human connection aren’t just aspirations, but everyday reality.

The space is shaped by trust and a shared belief in doing things the right way. That commitment to the people who trust us with their health, and very often to their extended family members and friends they send in—creates a clinic where confidence grows, recovery feels possible, and everyone who steps through the door knows they’re in a space designed by intent. The picture depicts a culture worth being proud of because it reflects who we are and what we stand for.

Huge thanks to the incredible for the consent to share....and to the first steps to triathlon!
