Build your Power & Pace.
Unlocking Peak Performance Through Data-Driven Cricket Training.
About Us.
We are an APA Sport and Exercise Physiotherapist and Fast Bowling Coaching with Cricket Australia Representative level accreditation. We specialise in fast bowling injuries and associated physiological, biomechanics and technical development. We approach the young fast bowler with a view to injury prevention but most importantly optimising their ability to bowl fast.
Using extensive technical and biomechanical video review with contemporary and advanced technologies we understand how bowlers get their speed and how they get injured. We combine that with Physio, physical assessments of strength, power, balance and movement to make sure your body is built for the way you bowl.
This also extends into power hitting to improve bat speed and hitting range when returning from injury or looking to improve a batters all round game. Power hitting is a necessary skill for the young fast bowler in the modern game.
Unfortunately we have seen many injuries over the years with bone stress fractures and bony bruising being the one that keeps most bowlers out. Other common presentations include side strains, thigh and calf muscle tears, ankle and knee injuries and shoulder / elbow stability issues. We have relationship with specialists and imagine centres to make sure you get priority care. We can also assist with Cricket Australia Sports insurance claims which will allow you to rest at ease with the financial burden of injury and focus on becoming better.

What makes
Power + Pace Different ?
When injured, our focus is getting you not only back to where you were but bowling faster and with a more refined and sustainable action PLUS the tools to keep it that way. We understand what has led you to getting injured BUT also how you have developed your speed. We understand the stage of maturity and growth phases you go through and their impact on your ability to develop speed as well as their role in injury.
We cover all aspects of fast bowler development including sprint training / run-ups; developing lower limb stiffness and myofascial optimisation (based on your profile and style); technical skill based training methods for the phases of the action; fast bowler conditioning programs (includes bowling loads) and fast bowler core and strength programs. We set goals that are relevant to you and provide all the support that we can.
Our Facility
We are located at Playpoint in Blacktown with two dedicated cricket pitches, which can be converted into one full-length match style pitch allowing a full run-up, the first of its kind in Australia. We also have a fully equipped physical therapy room with gym facilities and all the equipment you need to build strength and achieve faster bowling and more powerful hitting.
