Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Squash biomechanical assessment include?
The Squash protocol assesses Lower Trunk Rotation, Hip Internal Rotation, Hip External Rotation and 3 additional ROM tests specific to squash demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a Squash assessment?
Any squash athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in squash-specific movement patterns.
How long does the Squash protocol take?
The assessment takes 30-45 minutes. It covers 6 key ROM tests, identifies risk factors, and generates a prioritized corrective plan with 4 intervention targets.
How do I get started with the Squash protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Squash protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.

Martial Arts (Traditional)

Traditional martial arts (karate, taekwondo, kung fu) demanding hip flexibility for kicking, thoracic rotation for striking power, ankle stability for stance work, and breathing control for technique execution.

 Golf

Rotational-dominant sport demanding asymmetric hip mobility, thoracic rotation, lead-side weight transfer, and wrist control. Assessment targets the hip IR/ER ratio (critical for X-factor), thoracic rotation capacity, lead foot pressure dynamics, and wrist ROM for club face control.

 Mixed Martial Arts

Multi-discipline combat sport combining striking, wrestling, and grappling. Demands hip IR/ER for kicking and grappling, thoracic rotation for power and scrambles, cervical resilience for takedown defense.

 Rugby

Full-contact field sport demanding neck strength for tackle and scrum safety, shoulder stability for tackling and carrying, hip power for acceleration and breakdown, and concussion return-to-play screening.

 Fencing

Linear combat sport demanding hip flexibility for the en garde stance, ankle dorsiflexion for deep lunges, thoracic rotation for parry-riposte, and asymmetric loading management from dominant-side overuse.

 Track & Field (Throws)

Power-rotational events requiring thoracic rotation for wind-up, hip IR for power foot plant, shoulder mobility for delivery, and core bracing for force transfer.
