Respect history
Every plan starts with a careful look at your injury history, surgeries, flare-up patterns and what genuinely makes you feel worse or better.

Injury Prevention & Rehabilitation-Informed Training
Safe, progressive training for people returning from injury, managing old limitations or wanting to move with more confidence.
Rehabilitation-informed exercise coaching is not physiotherapy or medical treatment. It’s training that respects your history and builds capacity — ideally alongside your medical or allied-health team where appropriate.
Principles
Train smart. Get stronger. Stay durable.
Build capacity
Tissues, joints and confidence improve when you load them progressively and intelligently — not when you avoid them.
Manage load
Volume, intensity and frequency are managed deliberately so you don’t bounce between flare-ups and fitness loss.
Train the system
Strength, mobility, control, breathing and pacing all matter — not just the symptomatic joint.
Who I support
Designed around real bodies
Most general training plans either ignore injury history or treat it like a limitation forever. A rehabilitation-informed approach does neither: it adapts and progresses.
- Old back, knee, shoulder, hip or ankle limitations
- Returning to training after surgery (cleared by your medical team)
- Returning to training after illness or long inactivity
- Recurring niggles you can’t seem to shake
- Active adults wanting to keep training without breaking down
- Athletes wanting structured prevention work alongside their sport
A note on scope
Movement by Design provides exercise science-based, rehabilitation-informed training. It does not replace physiotherapy, medical care or clinical rehabilitation. For active injuries, post-surgical phases or undiagnosed pain, I recommend working alongside your doctor, physiotherapist or specialist — and I’m comfortable coordinating with them where useful.
Movement by Design provides exercise science-based coaching, personal training, health education and rehabilitation-informed exercise support. It does not replace medical diagnosis, physiotherapy, dietetic treatment or specialist healthcare. For medical conditions, pregnancy, cancer, diabetes, neurological conditions or post-surgical recovery, coaching may be adapted alongside medical or allied-health guidance where appropriate.
