About Performance Stability

There is no other system which identifies problems of movement in the same depth
as Performance Stability. All those involved in the sport, rehab, exercise, fitness and the medical fields know the importance of movement control in relation to performance, risk of injury and pain.

The Performance Matrix system is so much more than simply ‘core stability’ or strength training. By identifying performance assets, you can fast track training. By identifying weak links and risk factors, you can implement an individual retraining programme. The Performance Matrix will enable you to take clients through a series of stability tests to give you a complete profile of their assets and weak links.

Be ahead of the game: this is the future in health and performance screening

Evidence: current musculoskeletal screening programmes do not predict or prevent re-injury in sport
What’s missing: testing functional movements to identify uncontrolled movement (weak links) with multi-joint actions
Assessing function: the site and direction of uncontrolled movement
Evaluating movement control in both low threshold and high threshold situations

The Performance Matrix specifically addresses what’s missing


Identifying the problem:
We can help you be more specific in your assessment of movement faults by using The Performance Matrix - a user friendly comprehensive assessment tool. The testing process is designed to identify movement faults (weak links) in functional situations when many joints are working together. We consider the importance of identifying low and high load weak links which is more than just evaluating strength and weakness.

Retraining the faults:
We can give you a comprehensive principle based retraining strategy for you to adapt to each client so you can be individual, specific and efficient with a retraining programme.
Underpinned by solid research-based evidence, Performance Stability aims to demystify and clarify the theoretical concepts underlying movement and core stability issues, with - the Performance Matrix, the Pilates Matrix and the Sports Matrix by:
- Providing a simple but effective movement and core stability assessment system
- Identifying weak links related to potential performance deficits
- Highlighting potential injury risk
- Designing tailored individual retraining programmes to enhance stability and performance deficiencies identified for sports people of all levels of ability


• assess • analyse • predict • retrain • prevent • optimise

The History
The concepts underlying Performance Stability have been developed as a result of interest expressed among the sport, exercise and fitness industries, in the rehabilitation methodology established by Kinetic Control (KC) . KC deliver clinically-orientated courses, relating to movement dysfunction assessment and functional stability retraining, and have been running these courses for over 13 years.
While KC courses are intended for physiotherapists and clinicians who deal with pain and pathology, Performance Stability aims to convey the key principles within KC concepts to those involved in the sport, exercise and fitness industries, the performing arts and occupational health, by adapting KC  course materials to a relevant format which focuses on stability assessment, risk analysis and performance enhancement with The Performance Matrix The Pilates Matrix and The Sport Matrix.

Core Stability - Fact or fiction
The concept of ‘core stability’ has been gaining recognition and credibility in the sports, fitness and exercise industries over recent years, with numerous courses, articles and exercise programmes aiming at retraining core stability.


In essence, the concept of core stability should target low load muscle activation and control as a priority, only gradually introducing higher load exercises as improved low load stability is achieved, however major confusion more often than not remains regarding the critical differences between high, and low threshold stability training.

Performance Stability Courses:

- Are evidence based and linked with material presented in Kinetic Control courses, the home of the widely endorsed core stability 'system' practiced by rehabilitation professionals across the world.
- Offer CPD accreditation / opportunities for profile enhancement by becoming a Performance Stability Certified Trainer
- Are taught in an informative and entertaining manner by qualified Performance Stability Accredited Instructors.
- Comprise of both theoretical and practical sessions which can be readily integrated into your working environment
- Compliment other training and rehabilitation approaches Include details and user-friendly course manuals for reference and application Are a world wide programme of courses.
