Rehab

Six kinds of rehab, one way of working.

Every programme runs through the same four stages, works from what your physio, GP or surgeon found, and ends with you doing the thing you want back. Each page says what happens, what it costs and when you need someone else first.

All six

Post-physio rehab training

Discharged by your physio with a sheet of exercises and not sure how to keep going? We pick up where they left off: their notes, your goals, and a plan through Load, Build and Return, one to one in the studio, with a short update back to them every four weeks.

£55 for the first session of an hour, then £45 for 45 minutes, or eight for £320.

ACL return to sport

The long middle and end of ACL rehab: strength, single-leg control, landing, cutting and sprinting, built stage by stage with hop and strength tests your surgeon or physio can read, and a return-to-sport decision made with them, not by us alone.

£540 for the twelve-session return-to-sport phase with testing at the start and end, or £45 a session.

Back pain strength

For people whose low back pain has been assessed by a GP or physio and who have been told to keep active and get stronger: a gradual strength programme with lifting, carrying and the movements you avoid, done slowly, and a plan for flare-ups.

£55 first session, then £45, or eight for £320.

Shoulder rehab

Strength and range for shoulders after a physio has assessed them: rotator cuff problems, recovery from frozen shoulder, after a dislocation or surgery. Bands, cables and light weights at first, then pressing, pulling and carrying, and the overhead reach back.

£55 first session, then £45, or eight for £320.

Runners' injury rehab

For runners with an assessed injury: the strength work that running needs and rarely gets (calves, hips, single-leg control), a walk-run return built on time not pace, and the Saturday return-to-run group on the Bridgend recreation ground track.

£55 first session, then £45, eight for £320.

Pre-surgery prehab

Getting as strong and as ready as you safely can before a planned knee, hip or shoulder operation: strength around the joint, getting up and down from a chair and the floor, the exercises you will do afterwards learnt in advance, and a home set-up for the first weeks.

£240 for six sessions over three to six weeks before surgery, or £45 a session.

Honest limits

We are not physios, and we say so.

Diagnosis, scans, injections, manual therapy and decisions about surgery belong to physiotherapists, GPs and surgeons. We are rehab-trained personal trainers: we take what they found and train you through the long middle and end of recovery, with their limits, and we send them updates. If something changes or does not add up, we send you back to them.

After the physio, the long middle. We do that bit.

Book a first session: an hour, £55, with your physio's or GP's notes, simple tests, your stage and a written plan. If nobody has assessed the injury yet, we will tell you who can, and the referrals page lists practices we work with.
