BJJ Injury Assessment
A five-minute injury assessment built for jiu-jitsu athletes.
Describe what happened on the mats. We narrow the likely cause using the same questions and self-tests a physiotherapist would run in the clinic — and we do it without guessing, because the logic is a clinician-authored decision tree, not a language model.
How the assessment works
- Mechanism and history. A short conversation captures where it hurts, when it started, and what you were doing — stack pass, heel hook entry, kimura defense, getting underhooked.
- Guided self-tests. We walk you through targeted orthopedic tests — empty can, Lachman-style knee checks, cervical quadrant — and interpret what you report back.
- Narrowed shortlist.You see what fits and what doesn't — not a vague “could be anything.”
- Protocol match.If rehab is appropriate, the assessment links you to the matching BJJ rehab protocol. If it isn't, it tells you to stop and see someone in person.
Assessment vs. screening vs. protocol
A BJJ injury screening is a faster triage — “is this serious, and what broad area is it.” A full BJJ injury assessment goes deeper: self-tests, pattern matching, and a shortlist of likely injuries. Once you have a likely cause, you progress to a BJJ rehab protocol.
Frequently asked questions
What is a BJJ injury assessment?
A BJJ injury assessment is a structured self-evaluation that narrows the likely cause of your symptoms the way a physiotherapist would — using the mechanism of injury, symptom pattern, and guided orthopedic self-tests specific to grappling.
How long does it take?
About five minutes. The conversation collects mechanism and symptoms, then walks you through a handful of targeted self-tests based on what you describe.
Is this AI making up a diagnosis?
No. The AI translates your words into clinical inputs and interprets your test results — but the assessment engine itself is a deterministic decision tree authored by physiotherapists. Same inputs, same output.
When should I skip this and see a doctor?
Any acute trauma with severe pain, visible deformity, inability to bear weight, numbness, or loss of function. The assessment flags red flags automatically and tells you to stop and seek in-person care when needed.
