Project: physio

Project: physio Every individual has differing needs and goals so their personal project and journey will be unique to them.

Project: Physio is a pioneering sports physiotherapy, sports massage, and advanced rehabilitation clinic, based in Edinburgh's West End

Project: Physio | Redesigning Health, Wellness, and Performance With a combined 25 years in private physiotherapy practice and experience ranging from Rugby World Cups to Commonwealth Games our team of Stephen Mutch and Kenny Watt bring a huge amount of knowledge, tools, and experience to project: physio. As each project progresses, our team understands and appreciates each step of the journey, adapts your treatment appropriately, and will match your clinical outcome to your goals. Our pioneering Edinburgh-based clinic is home to our sports physiotherapists and sports masseuse and our In-Clinic Consultations make use of the latest cutting edge technology

Using our Virtual Telehealth Consultation we can carry out a comprehensive assessment and review of your symptoms, and provide a tailored rehabilitation and education program that we can monitor remotely and adapt as necessary depending on your progress.

Jamie in the clinic testing his recovery on the Delta Force Plates and K Pull Dynamometer

Force plates and strain dynamometers give us two complementary lenses:

- Force plates → whole‑system output and strategy
- Strain dynamometers → isolated muscle capacity and quality

Together, they create a complete picture of readiness to progress

Unlike handheld dynamometers, strain‑gauge systems like the K-Pull with good fixed set up give:
- Higher sampling rates
- More reliable peak force
- Better detection of subtle deficits

Our Project: Orthopaedic sessions are designed to take ACL rehabilitation far beyond “standard physio.” They combine expert clinical reasoning with high‑level strength training, objective testing, and personalised progression — giving athletes the safest and most effective pathway back to sport.

Making use of our surface EMG units to quantify rotator cuff activation and ensure the injured shoulder is achieving symmetry of activation with the non‑injured side during key rehabilitation exercises.

We use the data in rehab to:

- monitor if activation is lower than the non‑injured side
- prioritise isometrics at joint angles where inhibition is present
- add external cues (tactile, visual EMG feedback)
- enhance low‑load, high‑repetition motor control drills

Rugby player Lewis in-clinic looking at squat technique and force production.

Aware of some shifting in his squat, some difficulty with the transition phase and with a history of left hand side lower limb injury we use the Delta Force Plates and Bluetooth Goniometer K-Move to look at his concentric and eccentric phases.

Highlighting a shift away from his left side on the eccentric portion, both bodyweighted and weighted, we use the smith machine and live video feedback to work on his motor control and eccentric loading.

Supported athlete and GB Orienteer working his way back to running with a check of seated calf strength using our Delta Force Plates

Force plates add another layer to our testing protocols by quantifying peak force, rate of force development, and left–right asymmetries. For runners, this matters enormously: a strong, well‑balanced soleus improves running economy, potentially reduces Achilles and calf injury risk, and supports higher training loads. It’s one of the most valuable objective metrics for understanding—and optimising—a muscle that research consistently shows produces the greatest propulsive force during running, with large contributions to both upward and forward acceleration of the body.

Supported athlete .routledge in clinic as she builds towards indoor competition

Making use of the strain Dynamometer to check on hip flexor strength. We can then use that data to set some push isometric targets. Kinvent software feedback then allows Allie to check she is hitting her force output on the iPad.

Strong hip flexors are a quiet superpower in sprinting. They drive the thigh forward at high speed, helping an athlete cycle the leg quickly and efficiently. When these muscles are powerful, the sprinter can lift and reposition the leg faster, which directly supports stride frequency — one of the biggest determinants of sprint speed.

They also contribute to maintaining an optimal upright posture during acceleration and top‑end speed, reducing energy leaks through excessive trunk movement. Well‑conditioned hip flexors improve knee lift, enhance force transfer during the swing phase, and help the athlete achieve longer, more effective strides without overstriding.

Testing removes guesswork. Our supported athletes see exactly where they excel and where they need to improve — whether that’s force production, rate of force development, asymmetries, or movement quality. This makes training feel purposeful rather than generic.

Over the winter break we’re always delighted to welcome home some of ’ brightest young talents returning from their US scholarships.

Our relationship with these athletes starts long before they head stateside, and continues throughout their time abroad via online performance and rehab sessions — sometimes at fairly brutal time zones. Maintaining that continuity means we can track their development year‑round rather than relying on snapshots.

Seeing them in person twice a year is invaluable. It allows us to update their testing profiles, review injury status, and ensure their programming aligns with the demands of their NCAA environment. Objective data forms the backbone of that process — giving us clear trends, identifying asymmetries, and guiding decision‑making rather than guessing.

This week, Wake Forest’s came in for updated hamstring force testing using the Kinvent strain dynamometer, giving us precise metrics on strength, fatigue, and limb balance.

We then moved to the KBox and K‑Meter to capture concentric and eccentric power outputs, ensuring his force‑velocity profile continues to progress in line with his on‑track goals.

To round things off, we programmed kinetic‑chain work — in this case calf strength — supervised on the Smith Machine to reinforce robustness through the entire posterior chain.

Supporting these athletes on both sides of the Atlantic, with consistent data and a clear development pathway, is something we take real pride in. Their environments may change, but their performance framework doesn’t.

Drew’s expertise in female athlete development aligns seamlessly with the ethos behind your Project: Strength sessions. His deep understanding of the physiological considerations unique to female athletes allows him to tailor strength work that genuinely respects the athlete’s body while pushing performance forward.

Within Project: Strength, he brings a sharp eye for movement quality, load progression, and programming, ensuring each session builds resilience, power, and confidence in a way that feels both challenging and safe.

What elevates his contribution is his ability to translate complex science into clear, empowering coaching cues—helping athletes understand why they’re doing what they’re doing and how it supports long‑term performance and health. The result is a strength program that isn’t just well‑designed; it’s athlete‑centred, evidence‑driven, and perfectly aligned with your wider mission at Project: Physio to raise the standard of care for every athlete who walks through the door.
