Rehab Coaching and Personal Training at Farndon Physiotherapy

About Rehab Coaching

Rehab coaching works along side Physiotherapy. It's prescribed personal-training that is recovery specific and takes into consideration both your physical and your psychological recovery, expertly working on your functional ability as well as your confidence, aims and long-term goals. Your Rehab Coach will track, record and develop your progress during and beyond your physiotherapy treatment. This provides you with an outstanding recovery pathway not offered by most physiotherapy practices. So, whether you are a senior recovering from joint replacement or an elite athlete looking to re-establish form after injury, you're in the best place.

Is this for me?

Here's the scenario - Your physio has prescribed you a series of exercises and if truth be known you're not 100% sure you're doing them right, and your motivation is low. What's more, thoughts of going to the gym with masses of unfamiliar equipment and lots of people who all appear to know exactly what they're doing is a little overwhelming. You need an expert personalised guide you can trust to help you with your specific needs. That's where our rehab coaching comes to the rescue.

A good coach creates a safe, non-judgmental space in which you can take stock of your current situation and explore how to make changes, learn skills, boost your confidence and most importantly to achieve your goals. When we combine this approach with personal exercise training and injury rehabilitation, as we do at Farndon Physiotherapy, it provides you with a training and exercise rehab service that the simply isn't available at other physiotherapy clinics.

Our Rehab Coaching aims at educating as well as providing support during your physiotherapy treatment, because we believe that when you understand how exercise effects your body you'll become more motivated and empowered with the skills you need to help you stay fit for the goals you set. So whether you plan to run a marathon or just be fit and mobile enough to play with your grandchildren our Rehab Coaching will support you to realise your goals.

More about Coaching

What would you do if you had more confidence, more motivation, more focus, more direction? Coaching helps you break free from your self-limiting beliefs, take control of your life,

improve your performance and/or your wellbeing

MORE DIRECTION AND FOCUS

How do you define your core personal values and why are they so important? Living your life according to your values is at the core of my coaching process. Values clarification sessions are designed to help you explore and discover your true values and understand the impact they have on our lives, because understanding what's actually important to us, and what's not, provides direction in life

INCREASE YOUR MOTIVATION

Increasing levels of physical exercise is one of the keys to a happier, healthier life. In spite of knowing this we often neglect both our physical and mental wellbeing. Coaching can explore acceptance and mindful observation of our experiences, which in turn provide us with an opportunity to reframe the way we think about physical activity and increase our motivation.

IMPROVE YOUR CONFIDENCE

Confidence is related to the belief in our ability to succeed. Confidence building provides you with the skills and the opportunity and take small but positive steps toward challenging your self-limiting beliefs, build resilience and ultimately provide you with success which in turn will change your beliefs and so increase your confidence.
