Using the ActivForce 2 at MTE Rehab & Performance: Maximise Your Recovery and Strength
At MTE Rehab & Performance, we pride ourselves on delivering the highest standards of care for all our patients across Cornwall. Whether you are recovering from a sports injury, returning from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply wanting to improve your strength, mobility, and overall health, we invest in the best equipment to maximise your results. One of our newest additions is the ActiveForce 2, a cutting-edge tool that allows us to measure the force your muscles can produce and track your progress with precise numbers in Newtons.
The ActivForce 2 provides objective data, so we know exactly how strong a muscle or joint is and how it is progressing during your recovery or training. For sports players, this helps guide return-to-play decisions, ensuring injured muscles or joints reach at least 95% of the strength compared to the uninjured side. For everyday individuals, this data helps confirm that your body is ready to handle daily activities safely, whether it’s lifting, walking, climbing stairs, or returning to the gym.
We also combine the ActivForce 2 with functional tests and range of motion assessments using tools such as a goniometer and our cable machine, which allows us to get a complete picture of your strength, mobility, and stability. This approach is valuable for anyone recovering from muscle strains, joint injuries, post-surgical rehab, or even general weakness or stiffness. Our goal is to make sure your body adapts correctly, recovers fully, and performs safely in real-life situations, not just on paper.
A common phrase in physiotherapy or sports science by physiotherapists, sports therapists and strength and conditioning coaches is:
“If you’re not testing, you’re just guessing.”
At MTE Rehab & Performance, this principle drives everything we do. Every stage of your recovery or strength improvement is backed by data, testing, and progress tracking. When you are signed off, it is because your body is truly ready, not just because a program is complete.
By investing in high-quality equipment like the ActivForce 2, we are proud to offer the best standard of objective injury assessment, strength testing, and performance improvement in Cornwall and Redruth. Whether you are a sports player looking to return to peak performance or an everyday individual wanting to move safely, prevent injuries, and improve overall fitness, our clinic ensures your results are measurable, safe, and long-lasting.
