What is Rehabilitation?
Rehabilitation focuses on restoring strength, movement, control and confidence. Rather than simply reducing symptoms, rehabilitation addresses the physical deficits that contribute to pain, injury or reduced performance.
At Flex, rehabilitation is physiotherapist led and data informed. We use clinical assessment, strength testing and movement analysis to ensure exercises are appropriate, progressive and aligned to your individual needs and goals.
How We Guide Your Rehabilitation
Objective Assessment and Testing
We use physiotherapy specific strength and range of movement testing to assess your current ability and identify key limitations.
Performance and Strength Measurement
Where appropriate, we use hand held dynamometry and force plate technology to objectively measure strength, asymmetry and loading patterns, helping guide progression.
Supervised Gym Based Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation takes place in our on site gym, with exercises supervised and progressed by your physiotherapist to ensure safety, accuracy and effectiveness.
Individualised Progression
Your programme is adjusted as you improve, aligning rehabilitation with your goals whether that is returning to daily activity, work, running or sport.
What to Expect During a Rehabilitation Appointment
Check In and Goals
We review how you have been feeling, what has changed since your last session and what you want to achieve.
Reassessment and Testing
Your physiotherapist checks key measures such as strength, range of movement and movement control. Where appropriate, hand held dynamometry and force plates are used to guide decisions and track progress.
Supervised Exercise Session
You complete a structured rehabilitation session in our on site gym. Exercises are selected for your ability and goals, with close supervision and coaching.
Progression and Planning
Your programme is progressed where appropriate, with clear priorities set for the next stage of rehabilitation.

How Rehabilitation Can Benefit You
A structured rehabilitation programme can help you restore strength, movement and confidence, improve control and movement efficiency, reduce the risk of re injury or recurring pain, support recovery after injury or surgery, build resilience for work, daily activity or sport, and return to running or sport safely and progressively.
Rehabilitation moves beyond short term symptom relief towards long term improvement and performance.

Rehabilitation FAQs
Do I need to be fit to start rehabilitation?
No. Rehabilitation starts at a level appropriate for your current ability and progresses as you improve.
Is rehabilitation supervised?
Yes. All rehabilitation sessions are guided and progressed by a physiotherapist.
How do you decide what exercises I should do?
Exercises are selected based on assessment findings, strength testing, range of movement and your functional or sporting goals.
Will I be given exercises to do at home?
Yes. Home exercises are provided to complement supervised rehabilitation sessions. They support progress between appointments but do not replace supervised rehabilitation, which remains the gold standard for safe progression and optimal recovery.
Is rehabilitation important after surgery?
Yes. Post operative rehabilitation is a key part of recovery. Structured, supervised rehabilitation helps restore movement, strength and confidence while reducing the risk of complications or delayed recovery.
Do you support return to sport and elite level rehabilitation?
Yes. Our physiotherapists have extensive experience working with elite and high level athletes. We regularly support return to sports such as rugby, football, tennis, golf, gymnastics, running and other competitive or recreational activities.
Why is return to sport or return to running testing important?
Return to sport and return to running testing helps ensure your body is ready to cope with training and competition demands. We use strength, movement and load testing to identify remaining deficits and reduce re injury risk.
How many rehabilitation sessions will I need?
This depends on your condition and goals. Many people benefit from a structured block of sessions to allow safe progression and measurable improvement.
Is rehabilitation covered by insurance?
Yes. Rehabilitation provided as part of physiotherapy is typically covered by health insurance. Our team can help confirm your cover.
