Active Base
More than symptom relief. A clear path forward.
We establish where you are, identify what is limiting you and build the physical qualities you need for life, work, recovery or performance. Progress is measured, made visible and used to guide what comes next.
The Active Base Method
Base → Build → Progress
A continuous clinical framework for understanding capacity, targeting what matters and making improvement visible.
01BASE→
Know where you stand.
Begin with a thorough clinical and physical-capacity assessment. We choose measures that fit your presentation, age and goals — from strength, movement and balance to function and task-specific capacity.
Assess what matters to you
02BUILD→
Build what you’re missing.
Use the findings to create an individualised, progressive plan. We target the qualities holding you back — including strength, mobility, balance, conditioning, confidence and task capacity — alongside appropriate treatment.
Train the limiting qualities
03PROGRESS
See how far you’ve come.
Progress rehabilitation as your capacity improves and reassess meaningful measures. Tangible change shows what is working, reveals the next target and guides the next phase.
Reassess. Refine. Keep building.
BASE→BUILD→PROGRESS→REASSESS→CONTINUE BUILDING
Not a rigid three-appointment process. The method loops as your needs and capacity change, from recovery through to independence, performance and long-term physical capacity.
The method in practice
One framework. Different goals.
BASE → BUILD → PROGRESS adapts to your presentation, environment and stage of life — never the other way around.

Physical capacity
What we build depends on what life asks of you.
Physical capacity is not one score. It is the combination of qualities that lets you meet the demands of recovery, home, community, work, recreation and performance.
01StrengthProduce and control force.
Build the strength needed for daily tasks, work, sport and resilience.
02MovementAccess useful range and control.
Develop mobility and movement options relevant to the task in front of you.
03Balance & conditioningStay steady and sustain effort.
Improve confidence, endurance and the capacity to keep going.
04FunctionTurn capacity into participation.
Connect physical gains to the activities and roles that give them meaning.
The measure is not the test itself. It is whether increasing capacity helps you do more of what matters.
