what is rehab coaching?

Rehab Coaching is a tailored, progressive rehabilitation plan created just for you. We take the time to understand your injury history, running goals, and current physical condition. With this information, we develop a personalized program to address your specific needs and get you back on track safely.  Your program is delivered via Training Peaks, progresses weekly and is entirely personal to you.  Your plan includes instructional videos for your assigned exercises, and you'll have a personal coach on call to answer any questions that might arise.

How does it work?

Our Rehab Coaching is more than just a treatment plan – it’s ongoing support every step of the way. You'll work one-on-one with an expert coach who provides:

  • Customised rehab plan: Designed around your injury, fitness level, and long-term goals.

  • Progressive approach: We adjust the plan as you recover, gradually increasing the intensity and complexity of your exercises to build on your progress.

  • Full support: Regular check-ins, assessments, and adjustments to ensure you’re on the right path to recovery. We’re here to guide and motivate you at every stage.

  • Injury prevention: We don’t just focus on recovery – we help you understand the root cause of your injury, improving all the relevant aspects that go into improved running performance

who can benefit?

If you are regularly injured as a runner, are returning from injury, or would like running to feel easier or more efficient, this service is for you.

how will you benefit?

our approach

Assessing an individual’s movement for rehabilitation is a complex process. While it may seem appealing to suggest that there is a single "optimal" way to run that eliminates all aches and pains, the reality is far more nuanced. A runner’s movement strategy must adapt to the specific context they are in, shaped by an interplay between the individual, their environment, and the task at hand. Movement skills emerge from this interaction, meaning there cannot be one universal way to run.

​

Factors that affect an individual’s running mechanics include:

  • Speed

  • Terrain (e.g., gradient, surface) and environmental conditions

  • The individual’s immediate goals and intentions

  • Perception of pain

  • Injury history

  • Preconceptions about proper running form

​

Given these complexities, should we allow each runner to determine their own method without guidance? Not quite. Rather than prescribing a single movement solution and expecting runners to practice it in every context, we provide the tools for individuals to discover their own optimal movement patterns. We achieve this by:

​

  • Increasing awareness of how they move

  • Helping runners build a mental model of skilled running across various situations

  • Designing exercises that allow the individual to increase their "bandwidth" of effective movement solutions

  • Identifying and training the common elements of effective running form
