What To Expect

What actually happens
in a clinic session.

Most parents arrive not quite sure what to expect. Here's exactly how it works.

Movement Assessment

Mick watches your child move — running, balancing, posture under load. He's not just looking at their feet. He's reading the whole picture: where they compensate, where they hesitate, where their body tells a different story to what they say about themselves. You'll see things you've never noticed before.

Real-Time Correction

We don't just identify problems — we fix them in session. Mick coaches your child through corrective drills and technique adjustments on the spot. Most parents see a visible shift within the first 20 minutes. That's what hands-on in-person coaching makes possible.

Parent Debrief

After the session, Mick sits with you. He explains exactly what he found, what it means for your child's performance and confidence, and what the next steps look like. You leave with a clear picture — not a vague suggestion sheet. You'll know precisely what to work on.

Common Questions

Before You Book.

Melbourne Soft Tissue Therapy, 3/8 Theobald Street, Thornbury. You'll receive a confirmation with exact timing and parking details once booked.

Most families see a meaningful shift in a single session — enough to understand the problem clearly and have tools to start working on it. For lasting technique transformation, 4 sessions is the typical turning point. Athletes with injury history or competitive goals benefit most from the complete 8-session package.

Clinic sessions are designed for children aged 8–18. This is the developmental window where movement patterns are still highly trainable and where the biggest long-term gains are made.

No. The assessment covers fundamental movement patterns that underpin all sport — running, balance, posture under load. Whether your child plays soccer, football, basketball, or competes in athletics, the clinic translates directly to their sport.

If you enrol in the Built From The Ground Up program after completing clinic sessions, your full clinic investment is credited toward your BFTGU enrolment. The clinic and the online program work together — the clinic diagnoses, the program builds.

Comfortable athletic clothing and their regular sport shoes. No special equipment needed. Water bottle recommended. If your child has any injury history, bring a brief note or be ready to describe it — it helps Mick understand the context before the session starts.
