Personalised Performance & Recovery
Focused insight for muscles, joints, and movement.
Training hard, staying active, or living with ongoing aches and pains often means pushing through discomfort without fully understanding what’s going on beneath the surface. When symptoms linger or performance stalls, targeted insight can make all the difference.
Our Personalised Performance & Recovery Package is designed for athletes and active individuals with long-standing or recurring pain, offering a tailored assessment focused on the areas that matter most to you. The package includes specialist-reported MRI scans of two chosen body areas, combined with a targeted blood panel to assess inflammation, muscle recovery, and overall physical health.

Your Personalised Package
Initial Consultation
This package begins with a short pre-appointment consultation to help us understand more about you, including:
- Your current health and lifestyle
- Any symptoms or concerns
- Your past medical history
- The body areas you would like assessed
Advanced Imaging Session
We'll then book you in at our partner imaging centre for detailed MRI imaging of your 2 chosen areas. You can choose from:
- Neck (cervical spine)
- Shoulder
- Elbow
- Hand & wrist
- Hip
- Knee
- Foot & ankle
- Lower back (lumbar spine)
Your selections will be confirmed during your initial consultation. Please note that each scan is unilateral, meaning both sides of the same joint (for example, both shoulders) would count as two separate areas.
In-Clinic Tests
When your scans are complete, make your way to our Farringdon clinic for your blood tests, choosing either:
- Sports performance blood test
- Advanced health check for comprehensive wellbeing assessment
- Rheumatology profile (additional £150)
We will also do a Body Composition Analysis via our in-clinic Hume Pod, providing key information about bone & muscle mass, and body fat analysis.

- Your full imaging report

When should I see a doctor about musculoskeletal problems?
Most aches and pains improve with time, rest, or simple treatment. However, you should seek medical advice urgently if you experience:
- Severe or worsening pain, especially after an injury or fall
- Sudden weakness, loss of movement, or inability to bear weight
- Numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation in an arm or leg
- Loss of bladder or bowel control, or numbness around the groin or buttocks
- Unexplained swelling, redness, or heat in a joint
- Fever, unexplained weight loss, or night pain alongside musculoskeletal symptoms
You should also consider seeing a doctor if pain or discomfort is persistent (lasting several weeks or more), keeps returning, or is affecting your sleep, daily activities, or training - even if it doesn’t feel urgent.
