Tennis · Biomechanics

When the court can't tell you what the lab can.

A deep physical evaluation for players dealing with recurring injury, performance ceilings, or movement patterns that coaching alone cannot resolve.

How it differs

A different kind of evaluation

This isn't the on-court performance assessment — there's no match play here. You're in the lab, under the same motion-capture cameras and force plates used in university biomechanics research, going through movement screening and serve mechanics analysis in controlled conditions.

Most players arrive here through a referral — from a coach who has hit a wall, or a physio investigating a recurring issue. It's a clinical, rigorous process, and it isn't the right starting point for every player. If you haven't had a performance assessment yet, that's usually where to begin.

Sessions & pricing

Choose your depth

Three session lengths, from a focused single-question assessment through to a full physical and biomechanical profile.

~1 hour

Assessment + Feedback

£325 was £410

A focused biomechanical snapshot of one performance question — serve mechanics, groundstroke loading, or movement efficiency — guided by consultation with you and your coach.

  • Targeted 3D motion capture and/or force-plate assessment
  • Comparison against normative values
  • Interactive digital report with actionable priorities

~4–6 hours

Tennis MOT

£825 was £995

Our most comprehensive assessment — full physical screening plus 3D biomechanical analysis of your serve, groundstrokes and volleys, with a targeted intervention and retest built in.

  • Full physical screen (mobility, stability, strength, power)
  • 3D motion capture across serve, forehand, backhand and volley
  • Targeted intervention, retest, and evidence-based coaching priorities

Founding-member pricing — a limited number of discounted places (shown above) are available across all Kinetics Hub services before standard pricing applies.

Limited assessment slots each month

Book a tennis biomechanics assessment

Lab time depends on both our schedule and the University of Chichester's, so booking starts with a free 20-minute call to agree a slot. A refundable £50 deposit holds your place for it — credited toward your assessment if you book, refunded if you don't.
