Injury Rehabilitation

Feeling better is the start. Getting back to life is the goal.

Your knee might feel better walking around the house. But can you run?

Your back might have settled down. But can you get through a full day at work?

Your shoulder might not hurt as much. But can you lift, train or do everything you could before?

Getting out of pain is an important first step. Rehabilitation is about what comes next.

Your starting point

First, we get things settled.

When you're injured and in pain, getting back to everything you want to do can feel a long way off.

So the early stages of your recovery may focus on settling your symptoms, restoring comfortable movement and finding things you can start doing without constantly aggravating the problem.

But we don't want to stop there.

As things improve, your rehabilitation should move forward too.

The goal isn't simply to make your injury feel better. It's to prepare your body for your life again.

Build your capacity

Then we build you back up.

Once you're ready, we'll gradually start rebuilding what the injury has taken away.

That might include:

  • Strength
  • Movement and mobility
  • Balance and control
  • Muscle capacity and endurance
  • Power and speed
  • Confidence in movement
  • Running, jumping or changing direction
  • Ability to tolerate the demands of work, exercise or sport

What we focus on depends entirely on where you're trying to get back to.

Because rehabilitation for someone wanting to comfortably walk the dog should look very different from rehabilitation for someone trying to get back onto a football pitch.

It starts with you

Rehabilitation built around your goal.

We don't start with a generic sheet of exercises. We start with you.

What could you do before the injury?

What are you struggling with now?

And what does your body eventually need to be able to do again?

From there, we'll build your rehabilitation around the gap between the two.

Your exercises should have a reason for being there, and we'll explain what we're working on and why it matters.

How we help

What injuries can we rehabilitate?

We help people recover from a wide range of musculoskeletal and sporting injuries, including:

  • Muscle injuries
  • Tendon problems
  • Ligament injuries
  • Knee injuries
  • Ankle injuries
  • Shoulder injuries
  • Hip and groin problems
  • Back and neck problems
  • Running-related injuries
  • Sports injuries
  • Recurring injuries
  • Longer-term problems where strength and confidence have been affected

We also provide dedicated rehabilitation following surgery through our Pre & Post-Operative Rehabilitation service.

Progress with purpose

More than a list of exercises.

Good rehabilitation needs to progress.

Something that challenges you in the first few weeks may become far too easy later in your recovery.

We'll review how you're responding and gradually change the difficulty and demands of your rehabilitation as you're ready.

That could mean progressing from simple strengthening exercises towards heavier loading, more complex movements, running, jumping, lifting or sport-specific work. Your rehabilitation should grow as you do.

01 / Everyday goals

Getting back to work and everyday life.

Not every rehabilitation goal involves sport.

Maybe your job involves lifting, carrying, climbing, driving or spending hours on your feet.

Maybe you want to get back to gardening, walking, travelling or playing with your children.

Those demands matter too.

We'll use your rehabilitation to help prepare you for the things your normal life actually requires from your body.

02 / Sporting goals

Getting back to sport.

Feeling pain-free during everyday activities doesn't necessarily mean you're ready to return to sport.

Sport can place much greater demands on your body.

Depending on what you're returning to, later-stage rehabilitation may involve running, jumping, landing, changing direction, speed, power and movements specific to your sport.

Where appropriate, we'll assess how you're progressing rather than relying purely on how much time has passed since your injury.

Because getting back quickly isn't the only goal.

We want you to feel ready when you get there.

Trust in your movement

Rebuild confidence in your body.

After an injury, it's normal for movements that used to feel automatic to suddenly make you hesitate.

Can I run on it?

Can I lift that?

What if it happens again?

Rehabilitation gives you the opportunity to gradually answer those questions by doing more as your body becomes ready for it. We're not just trying to rebuild strength.

We're helping you rebuild trust in what your body can do.
