ABOUT US
Listen to a Message from Scott Elder, Founder
The FitAssess Assessment System was invented by Scott Elder - a celebrated collegiate and professional athlete and sport trainer.
“I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest strength and conditioning coaches in the country, from High School and into Pro Football. That being said, in college I fractured my L5 vertebra. I went misdiagnosed for almost two years until I could not take the pain and dysfunction anymore. I underwent surgery to repair the fracture, then went through several months of rehabilitation.
I returned to the football field and played two more years. Two years after my back surgery I tore my patella tendon. Every medical professional told me that the two incidences were not related.
I knew somehow, they had to be, so I started creating a complete musculoskeletal database. This consisted of identifying every joint in the body, every range of motion at each joint, every muscular association to the joints and all corresponding actions.
Eventually, what I discovered was that while the boney structure of my back was repaired, the muscular compensations that had developed were only being strengthened in physical therapy. When I returned to the field, I felt limber and strong, but I was really an accident waiting to happen.
The stress was being distributed into my Rectus Femoris which forms the patella tendon. If I had a system such as the QLD Assessment System, I and my training staff would have been able to identify the specific ranges of motion that I should have focused on."fi
