Reassess and progress.
Active Base
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
A continuous clinical framework for understanding capacity, targeting what matters and making improvement visible.
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 youUse 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 qualitiesProgress 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.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.

Physical capacity
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.
Build the strength needed for daily tasks, work, sport and resilience.
Develop mobility and movement options relevant to the task in front of you.
Improve confidence, endurance and the capacity to keep going.
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.
