The short answer

What this treatment is

Strength training is structured, progressive resistance work designed around you rather than a generic plan. At Physio and Performance it serves two roles: building athletic capacity for sport and everyday life, and acting as the natural progression once acute rehabilitation has settled — restoring the strength and load tolerance an injury, a sedentary spell or a surgery took away. Our physiotherapist Sam Harvey brings fifteen years of clinical practice and an elite-sport background, alongside Master's-level strength-and-conditioning study, so programmes are coached with both performance and tissue health in mind. The NHS and UK physical-activity guidance recommend strengthening activity on at least two days a week for all adults; we make that specific, supervised and progressive. Sessions run at our Soho, Liverpool Street and Marylebone clinics, with home visits across London and online coaching available.

Areas treated

What's included

  • Coached by a HCPC-registered, Chartered (CSP) physiotherapist with an elite-sport background and Master's-level strength-and-conditioning study
  • Individualised 1:1 programming built around your goals, training history and any injury you are working around
  • A safe, progressive bridge from rehabilitation back to full sport, work and daily activity
  • Aligned with UK physical-activity guidance of strengthening on at least two days a week
  • Objective progress tracking so loading is increased only when you are genuinely ready
  • Delivered across our Soho, Liverpool Street and Marylebone clinics, with home visits and online coaching

Boundaries of practice

What's not treated

Good practice means saying no when indicated:

  • Acute, unstable fracture or dislocation before medical clearance to load the area
  • Loading beyond limits set by your surgeon's post-operative protocol
  • An acute injury that has not yet been assessed — book a physiotherapy assessment first
  • Severe uncontrolled hypertension or cardiovascular instability without medical clearance
  • New, undiagnosed chest pain, breathlessness or dizziness on exertion — seek medical review before training

Patient journey

What to expect

Consultation & preparation

Wear comfortable clothing and trainers you can move and lift in, and bring water. Note your main goals and any current or past injuries, plus any relevant scan reports, surgical protocols or physiotherapy notes. If you are progressing from an injury, let us know so we can build your programme safely around it.

During treatment

Aftercare

You will leave with a clear, individualised programme and an understanding of the principles behind it, so you can train confidently between sessions. Some muscle soreness in the first 24–48 hours is normal as your body adapts. We reassess against your baseline at regular reviews and progress your loading as you are ready.

Common
questions

Is strength training a treatment for a specific injury or condition?

Not on its own. Strength training is a performance and conditioning service that builds capacity and resilience. It is often used as the progression after physiotherapy rehabilitation, complementing clinical care. If you have a current injury or condition, we recommend a physiotherapy assessment first so your programme is built safely around it.

Do I need to be fit or experienced to start?

No. Programmes are individualised to your current capacity, whether you have never lifted before or train regularly. We assess your baseline, coach technique one-to-one, and progress load gradually as you adapt. UK guidance encourages all adults to strengthen on at least two days a week, and we make that achievable and safe.

How is this different from a regular personal trainer or gym session?

Sessions are coached by a HCPC-registered, Chartered physiotherapist with elite-sport and strength-and-conditioning experience. That means programming accounts for injury history, tissue tolerance and clinical context, not just performance. It is especially valuable when you are returning from injury or want training that genuinely respects how your body loads and adapts.

Can strength training help me return to sport after an injury?

Yes. Once acute symptoms have settled, progressive strength and conditioning rebuilds the capacity an injury reduced and prepares you for sport-specific demands. We dovetail it with your physiotherapy and progress loading objectively, returning you to training and competition only when your strength and movement support it safely.

Where can I have my strength training sessions?

Sessions run at our UNTIL clinics in Soho, Liverpool Street and Marylebone, all with gym facilities. We also offer home visits across London and online coaching, so consistent one-to-one programming fits around your schedule.
