Our Philosophy

We believe rehabilitation should set you up for a lifetime of healthy, confident movement. At Groundwork, we blend exercise rehabilitation, functional strength training and diet/lifestyle coaching to bring you a comprehensive health and fitness solution which scales as you progress.

Our goal is to empower every client with the knowledge and confidence they need to manage their own wellness.

We work with clients of all backgrounds and levels – from athletes to busy professionals, everyone is welcome! Our speciality is helping older people and those with pain or functional limitations get started on their fitness journey.

Our Physio & Trainer

I am a physiotherapist from the UK with an MSc in Exercise Science, qualifications in personal training and over two decades of gym experience. My sessions take a biopsychosocial approach which sees clients as individuals and focusses on physical rehab or training alongside educational and lifestyle interventions.

My passion is strength training and I love to share this knowledge and empower others through workshops and education. My current research interests are the role of resistance training for clinical populations, and the effect of diagnostic labels in musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice.

ASSESSMENT

The first step for new clients

Our comprehensive physical and functional assessments examine problem areas and determine where you’re at in terms of mobility, strength and other key attributes.

We identify current limitations and opportunities, and create a personalized plan based on you and your goals. 

Each assessment includes:

• Detailed background and history taking
• A hands-on physical and functional assessment
• Body composition analysis (for clients with fitness-based aims)
• Discussion of preferences, needs, goals
• A personalised training / rehab plan

REHABILITATION

In-person guided rehab sessions

Sessions for people who have had a physical assessment and want extra advice and support in managing their recovery. This includes guiding exercises for improving range of motion, strength, endurance, and confidence while providing feedback and managing pain and symptoms.

Conditions we work with:

• Pain or injuries in joints, muscles and other soft tissues
• Diagnosed neck and back pain, including sciatica and nerve issues
• Mobility restrictions and postural issues
• Muscle weakness, balance and coordination issues
• Other physical limitations following surgery, illness or falls

Please note – we are an exercise rehabilitation service and do not offer medical treatments such as ultrasound or manipulation.

*Require previous Initial Assessment

FITNESS SERVICES

Definitive and supportive personal training

We provide practical, evidence-based interventions delivered with over a decade’s expertise.

Our fitness packages will give you the knowledge, support and accountability you need to take control of your fitness journey.

We’re the perfect fit for anyone seeking to:

• Gain muscle or strength
• Lose weight and improve body composition
• Enhance fitness and performance
• Work on flexibility / mobility / posture
• Improve health and longevity

We offer two levels of personal training package, depending on the level of support required.

We advise less experienced clients to begin with the Comprehensive Package, and switch to the Light as their confidence and skills improve.

Successful training requires commitment and consistency, and therefore our training packages are run and billed on a monthly basis rather than as individual sessions.
