Short answer: Post injury training is the bridge between physio and full return to activity. Strength Lab LDN at 407 Durnsford Rd, SW19 8EE offers structured strength-based post injury programmes led by qualified S&C coaches. Available in-person, online, or hybrid.
What is post injury training?
Physio gets you healed. Post injury training gets you back to fully functional.
Most injuries leave lasting weakness in the muscles, tendons, and movement patterns around the injured area – even when the pain has gone. Without addressing that, you’re at high risk of re-injury and often left with a “weak spot” that limits what you can do.
Post injury training rebuilds the strength, power, movement quality, and confidence you had before the injury – and often better than before.
Who is post injury training for?
- Anyone recovering from a specific injury (sport, work, or otherwise)
- People post-surgery who’ve been discharged from physio but don’t feel fully back
- Runners returning from injury who want to avoid the same issue recurring
- Sportspeople rebuilding after time off
- Anyone with old injuries that never fully resolved – the “weak knee,” “dodgy shoulder,” “bad back”
- Clients cleared by physio for loaded exercise but not sure how to progress safely

How post injury training differs from normal training
Working with physio
Post injury training isn’t a replacement for physiotherapy – the two work together.
Physio handles the medical side: swelling, range of motion, gait, tissue healing, and clearance for loaded exercise. S&C-led post injury training picks up from there, rebuilding strength and function.
If you already have a physio, we’re happy to coordinate and share programmes. If you don’t, we can recommend physios in the Wimbledon area.
How it works at Strength Lab LDN
Every post injury client starts with a full S&C assessment. From there your coach builds a bespoke programme.

Rehab-specific programme (£140)
Best for a specific injury or condition. Includes assessment, one-month programme, and final reassessment.
Personal Training with rehab focus
Best for ongoing post-injury training beyond the first month. From £74/session in the Committed Pack.
