Most rehab starts with a stretch routine and a hope. Yours starts with an actual assessment — the same biomechanical screening used on professional athletes — so the plan matches what's actually wrong, not just where it hurts.

Four real reasons rehab fails when it skips the diagnosis. If you recognise any of these, you're in the right place.
"Just rest it" doesn't fix what's actually wrong.
You've been told to just rest it, and the pain always comes back once you're active again. Rest reduces symptoms temporarily — it doesn't address the mechanical cause, so the same injury just waits for you to move again.
A video isn't a diagnosis.
You're doing generic exercises pulled from a video with no idea if they're actually right for your issue. Without an assessment, exercise selection is a guess — and the wrong exercise can slow recovery or make things worse.
Medical clearance isn't the same as being ready.
You've been medically cleared but still don't feel confident training normally again. The gap between "safe to move" and "ready to perform" is exactly where most rehab stops short.
Most rehab stops before you're actually back.
You want someone who understands both clinical rehab and how to actually get you back to training — not just one or the other. Physio ends, but "back to normal" was never properly defined or tested.
Rehab & Recovery Screening // 6 Questions
Answer 6 quick questions and get a starting-point recommendation — built for your actual situation, not a generic stretch routine.
Takes about 90 seconds. This isn't a diagnosis — it's a starting point.
Whatever's brought you here — an old injury that never quite healed, a recent surgery, or pain that shows up the moment you try to train properly again — the pattern is usually the same. Something gets labelled as "just needs rest" or "just needs stretching" without anyone actually identifying what's mechanically going wrong. So it manages, but never resolves.
That's not a willpower problem. It's a diagnosis problem — and it's fixable with an actual assessment before any exercise gets prescribed.
Comparing sides, not guessing from where it hurts
Active and passive strength and range-of-motion testing, run alongside a full movement screen, comparing your injured side against your uninjured side to quantify the actual deficit — not just where it hurts. If you've already got scans or a specialist letter, they get reviewed too, though that's not required to start.
What you get
Built on the diagnosis, not a generic stretch sheet
Hands-on soft-tissue and joint work targeted at exactly what the assessment found, paired with corrective exercise programming that addresses the deficit rather than generic mobility drills. Load gets managed and progressed as your symptoms and retested numbers allow — not on a fixed timeline.
What you get
Cleared on your numbers, specific to your injury
Return-to-training clearance is specific to you and the injury — built on strength symmetry between limbs, full range of motion confirmed pain-free under load, and a retest of the actual activity that caused the problem. Hop and functional testing gets added where the injury calls for it, with clear goals and outcome targets agreed before you're signed off.
What you get
Active Rehab
For anyone managing an ongoing issue — hands-on work and rehab exercise, not just a stretch sheet.
Post-Surgical Return to Training
For anyone cleared by a surgeon but not yet confident training again — a real progression, not a guess.
