Assessment
A detailed history, then a thorough examination of movement, strength and the affected area. You leave knowing what is wrong, why it happened, and exactly what we are going to do about it.
Performance & Resilience
Strength Training in London
Build the strength that protects you, whether you are returning from injury or chasing a performance goal, in programmes coached one to one by physiotherapist Sam Harvey across our three London clinics and built around your body, your history and your goals, so you train with confidence and stay robust against the next setback.
At your first appointment we look for the cause: your history, how you move, and what your work, sport and life ask of your body.
The assessment covers a detailed history and a thorough examination of movement, strength and the affected area. We explain what we find and agree a working diagnosis and plan you understand before you leave.
You go home with a written summary and a home-exercise programme built around your diagnosis and goals, so progress continues between visits.
Strength Training can help to:
Rebuild strength after injury or surgery
We pick up where rehab left off, loading the tissue progressively so you regain the strength, range and confidence an injury or operation took away.
Return to sport ready for the demands
Coached, progressive programming rebuilds the capacity your sport asks of you, so you go back able to handle the load rather than hoping it holds.
Train safely around a niggle or old injury
Because your coach is a physiotherapist, your programme respects healing tissue and past injuries, so you keep progressing without stirring up the thing you are working around.
Build lasting strength for everyday life
Structured, supervised resistance work builds the strength that keeps you active, resilient and moving well, whatever your starting point or age.
Progress with confidence, not guesswork
We track your baseline objectively and only add load when you are genuinely ready, so every session moves you forward on solid ground.

Your journey
with Physio and Performance
Everything starts with finding the cause. Whether the goal is a marathon start line or a week at your desk without pain, we treat what is driving the problem, then build the strength that keeps it fixed.
Treatment
Hands-on manual therapy combined with a progressive, tailored exercise programme. Sports massage, dry needling, shockwave or Reformer Pilates are added where they help your specific problem.
Rebuild
Coached, progressive strength work restores the load tolerance your body lost, paced to where you start. This is the stage that decides whether the fix lasts.
Perform
Each follow-up reassesses you against your baseline, with VALD testing where useful, so your return to work, sport or training rests on measured readiness. Discharge happens by mutual agreement when you can manage independently.
From pain to performance. Pain relief that lasts is not enough on its own: we rebuild the strength behind the pain so it stays gone.

FAQ
FAQs
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 an expert 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. Book an appointment or arrange a free fifteen-minute consultation call to find the right option for you.
