    High Performance Screening

    ​I can't speak highly enough of Liam and the service at Hybrid Athletic. Ahead of a crucial racing block, I decided to invest in a High Performance Screening. Liam's approach was thorough, specific, and directly relevant to the demands of my running.

    Tom Cumming

    Hybrid’s approach to preventing injury rather than just treating it is a breath of fresh air. The team really focuses on long term results and helping you move better, not just feel better. Big fan of the Hybrid kit too!

    Liam and the team at Hybrid Athletic are exactly what any athlete needs, whether you’re dealing with injuries or just want better performance. From my first session, it was clear he genuinely cares and has a wealth of knowledge. Liam focused on finding deficiencies and injury causes through proper assessment and movement, which made a huge difference in my performance.

    Matt To'omua

    Hybrid Athletic have been incredible in my injury recovery. As a former athlete, it’s hard to find the same level of care and expertise once you’re on your own — but they deliver exactly that. Their tailored approach, attention to detail, and genuine care gave me real confidence I was in the right hands.

    Taylor & James Delaney

    Liam has helped to identify through state-of-the-art testing equipment some clear imbalances in my strength and stability, which he has used to tailor a specific exercise program aimed at maximising my running performance and helping me overcome niggling injuries that have built up over the years. His guidance is both practical and personable. I honestly can’t recommend Hybrid Athletic enough!
