Pitch Ready combines PhD research, professional sport experience, 3D biomechanics, automated reporting and clinical interpretation.
Pitch Ready began with Dr Tim McGrath’s PhD research into ACL rehabilitation and return-to-sport decision-making. Since then, the platform and clinical model have grown into a practical system for helping clinicians, teams and organisations turn complex biomechanical data into action.
Traditional return-to-sport and injury-risk decisions can rely too heavily on isolated strength scores, capacity testing or simple limb symmetry. Pitch Ready was built to add deeper context.
Our work brings together 3D motion analysis, sport-specific testing, normative benchmarking and clinical interpretation, helping teams and clinicians understand how an athlete moves — and what that means for rehab, performance and risk.
The goal is not more data for the sake of it. The goal is clearer decisions.
Pitch Ready is led by practitioners and partners with deep experience across professional sport, sports physiotherapy, rehabilitation, performance and strategic relationships.
