Helping everyday people across Canberra get moving again — safer, stronger, and without all the confusion.
Every week I meet people from Cook, Holt, Page, Duffy, Coombs, Rivett, Fisher and the whole Belconnen area who are dealing with old injuries that just won’t settle down.
Some come in with a sore knee that keeps “flaring up.”
Some have a cranky shoulder from sport.
Others hurt their back once at work and still feel nervous years later.
Almost everyone says the same thing: “I want to train, but I’m scared of making it worse.”
That’s exactly what my Injury Rehabilitation Training program is for — safe, simple coaching that helps you move again without guessing what’s right or wrong for your body.
Why Proper Rehab Training Matters
When your body doesn’t feel right, everything becomes harder.
Walking the dog, going to the gym, even carrying groceries feels risky. You don’t trust the injured area, so you stop using it… which often makes things worse.
Good rehab training:
– helps your muscles support the injured area
– reduces pain over time
– teaches you how to move safely
– stops the “flare-up → rest → flare-up” cycle
– gives you confidence again
Canberra locals are active, often engaging in sports, hiking, riding, gym classes, etc so injuries are common. But recovery should not be scary, confusing or rushed. You just need a plan that matches your body.
What Happens When You Don’t Rehab Properly
Most people try to “rest it off,” search YouTube, or hope the pain just disappears. But here’s what usually happens instead:
You avoid the movement completely
The joint gets weaker and more sensitive. You feel stiff, tight, and unsure how to fix it.
You train too hard too early
A big mistake. This creates random flare-ups that feel like you’re starting from zero again.
You rely only on stretching
Most injury problems aren’t solved by stretching alone. You need strength and control.
You copy someone else’s rehab plan
But their injury isn’t your injury. Their body isn’t your body.
You stop training out of fear
This leads to lost strength, lower fitness and more discomfort.
Proper rehab is not about doing everything at once. It’s about doing the right things at the right time in the right way.
How My Injury Rehabilitation Training Works
My approach is calm, simple, and tailored to people who feel nervous about training through pain.
1. We talk about the injury first
How it happened, what triggers it, what movements you avoid, any physio notes, and how it affects your day.
2. I assess your movement gently
We look at how you bend, push, pull, squat, lift, and walk. Nothing intense. Just enough to understand what your body is doing.
3. You get a “safe list” of movements
Movements your body already tolerates well. This becomes our starting point.
4. We rebuild strength slowly
We fix the weak links around the injured joint using light, controlled exercises.
5. We progress without rushing
Pain-free strength first, then stability, then load. Every step is for your injury — not a generic plan.
6. You learn how to stop flare-ups
I teach you what to avoid, what to reduce, and what’s actually fine to keep doing.
7. We return you to normal training
When you’re ready, we blend rehab with everyday strength training so you don’t lose fitness.
This process has helped people with:
- knee pain
- lower back pain
- shoulder tightness
- hip issues
- ankle injuries
- post-surgery strength rebuilding
- sports strain recovery
If you want to train again but feel nervous, this program is exactly for you.
