Our services

Physiotherapy and sports physiotherapy, 55€/h

We offer physiotherapy for all musculoskeletal conditions and musculoskeletal pain. Through physiotherapy, you can prevent injuries and pain and find help for existing pain or challenges in mobility and functional capacity.

A physiotherapy visit consists of an initial interview and examination, on the basis of which we guide, advise or treat the customer. We utilise therapeutic exercise, guidance and advice, manual therapy, and taping. Our measuring instruments can also support the examination.

Price: €55 per hour (VAT 0%).

Firstbeat wellbeing analysis, 105€

The Firstbeat wellbeing analysis shows how your body reacts in different everyday situations. The device can measure stress levels, recovery efficiency and energy consumption. At night, it measures sleep quality and recovery. The effectiveness of training, workload and the impact of lifestyles are also assessed from data obtained from heart rate variability.

Price: 105 € (incl. VAT 25,5 %), includes the introduction of the device, wellbeing analysis and personal feedback discussion. Special offer available for groups.

Fitness testing, 77€

The fitness test includes an endurance test on a bicycle ergometer, an InBody scan and muscle strength tests. The package is extensive and provides a good overall idea of your current physical fitness level and what areas still need development. A feedback discussion is always included in the package.

Price 77 € (incl. VAT 25,5 %).

Endurance test with a bicycle ergometer, 100€/60€

This is a multi-stage, submaximal test during which your maximum oxygen uptake is measured using a bicycle ergometer. The intention is not to cycle until exhaustion. The duration of the test is 15–20 minutes.

In addition to the test results, you find out your maximum heart rates for training and tips for improving your endurance. The package includes an InBody body composition scan. It is also possible to measure your lactate levels to provide an even more accurate determination of your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds and maximum heart rates. 

Price: 100 € (incl. VAT 25,5 %), price with lactate measurement. 60 € (incl. VAT 25,5 %), including testing, test result feedback discussion and InBody body composition measurement.

Running endurance test, 130€

The test is done on a treadmill where intensity is added by increasing the speed every 3 minutes, and the lactate levels in the blood are measured after each time that intensity has been increased. The test allows us to determine your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds as well as maximum oxygen uptake, which are then used to determine maximum heart rates for different areas of training. The test takes approximately 20–30 minutes. In addition to the test results, you find out your maximum heart rates for training and tips for exercising. The package also includes an InBody body composition scan.

Price: 130 € (incl. VAT 25,5 %), including testing, test result, feedback discussion and InBody body composition measurement.

The running test can also be combined with a step analysis using the Zepris equipment. It is possible to modify the test according to the needs of your sport.

Step analysis, 95€/50€

Can be determined from a walk or a run according to the customer’s needs. The purpose is to map out the basic elements of walking and running using pressure plates and cameras to determine the load and to analyse optimal running/walking techniques. If you want more accurate data, it is possible to use EMG devices that measure muscle activation at different stages of walking and running. The test is suitable for many purposes, e.g. those who actively train and for the assessment of rehabilitation after an injury or surgery.

Price: €95 (incl. VAT 25.5%), including testing, feedback from a Zepris treadmill and a personal feedback form. €50 (incl. VAT 25.5%), including testing and feedback from a Zepris treadmill.

Functional Movement Screen, 45€

The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) consists of a series of seven movements, in which each movement get a score on a scale of 0–3. FMS can be used to detect asymmetry in motion which could manifest as difficulties in controlling your movements. Based on the results, an individual training program is created to correct symmetry differences and optimise balanced motion control. The sports club can choose the location for the FMS.

Price: 45 € (incl. VAT 25,5 %), includes a personal training programme based on the FMS test and test results.

Muscle strength testing, 60€

We use the Contrex tool to screen muscle strength. A wide range of settings allows measuring muscle strength safely from different joints at a standard angle or throughout the whole movement. Based on the results, we prepare a report that shows the current situation and which can be used to give practical recommendations for your training.

Price: from 60 € (incl. VAT 25,5 %), includes the analysis and results as a written report. 

Muscle balance testing, 60€

The muscle balance test consists of an initial interview and tests involving mobility, muscle strength and motion control. The tests are selected individually according to the customer’s needs and sport. The muscle balance test always includes comprehensive feedback and training instructions.

Price: 60 € (incl. VAT 25,5 %).

Speed, agility and explosive power

Speed, agility and explosive power can be measured with jump mats and sensors. The test can be done in your preferred environment, as we use portable and wireless devices. We use the results to create personal or group feedback. The feedback may be useful when setting new fitness goals or figuring out areas of fitness that you still need to develop.
