The main work

Twelve weeks, one goal

Twelve weeks of progressive strength work, built around one thing you want to get back to, with the numbers to show whether it's working.

What's included

• Full assessment in your home, with all five baseline measures
• Six one-to-one sessions in your home, hands-on plus progressive loading
• A written programme, updated fortnightly, with video demonstrations
• Objective retest at weeks 3, 6 and 12, every result in writing
• A report you can hand to your GP or surgeon
• Direct access to me, Monday to Friday, for the twelve weeks
• Equipment loaned and delivered. Nothing to buy, nothing to research
• One unscheduled visit within 48 hours if something flares up

The Week-6 Promise

Week by week

1. Week 0

   Assessment

   Five measures taken and written down. We agree the one thing you want back.

2. Weeks 1–3

   Load, carefully

   Hands-on work where it is needed. Strength work starts light and progresses on a schedule, not on how you feel that day.

3. Week 3

   First retest

   Early, on purpose. A number that has moved is worth more than encouragement.

4. Weeks 4–6

   Build

   Load goes up. The programme starts looking like training rather than rehab.

5. Week 6

   Retest and decide

   All five measures again, in writing. This is where the Week-6 Promise applies.

6. Weeks 7–11

   Make it specific

   The work shifts towards the actual activity: the hill, the court, the slope, the garden.

7. Week 12

   Final retest

   Full report, and an honest conversation about what keeps it.

The five measures

• 30-second sit-to-stand (reps)
• Grip strength (kg)
• 4-metre walking speed (m/s)
• Single-leg balance (seconds)
• Step-down control (score)

Is this right for you?

It works best if you want to get back to something specific and you're willing to train for it. It's probably not the right fit right now if:

• You're after hands-on treatment to ease things for a few days. That's a perfectly reasonable thing to want, and I'm happy to point you to someone who does it well.
• You can't commit two half-hours a week for twelve weeks. The programme genuinely needs that, and I'd rather say so now than take your money.
• You need urgent medical assessment. See your GP or A&E first, and come to me afterwards.
