If you want to get stronger, fitter and safer, exercising with our physios at the Rehab Barn is for you. At the Physio Rehab Barn, everyone is welcome regardless of their age or ability. We will not have offensive music blaring out, we will not have inexperienced staff, and we will not be full of cliques.
We understand how confusing it can be to decide what to do in the gym, especially if you have an injury or long-term condition. Our experienced physios will guide you through the journey and hold your hand at each junction in the road.
Whether you are returning from complex surgery like an ACL reconstruction, living with a long-term condition such as osteoarthritis, have fallen and are worried you’ll fall again, just had a baby and don’t know where you can go to exercise or want to smash your PB on the next park run, we are the people for you!
We combine our advanced understanding of the body, injury and tissue healing with our wealth of experience in exercise and rehabilitation. With us, you can trust that we know how to help you reach your goals without causing any more pain or injury. We are more than personal trainers.
This is suitable for you whether you are a current patient, have been to us in the past, or have never been to us.
We will start with an assessment with one of our physios if we haven’t met before or if you haven’t been for a while. This is where we will learn all about your medical history, any injuries, and what goals you would like to achieve. We will then conduct some strength and fitness tests (nothing too scary, we promise) to understand your starting point. We may also do more ‘physio’ tests to examine your range of motion, balance and coordination, plyometric ability and function.
From this, we will decide together which direction to start and put a plan in place. We will have a physio bed at the Barn, so if we need to mobilise your ankle first, for example, to help you achieve a squat or loosen that tight calf, we can do this.
This is not just for ‘sporty’ people. Anyone looking to get stronger and fitter will benefit. You might find it difficult to run around with the grandchildren, find stairs difficult, or be worried about losing your independence. We can help with all these things.
Improvements in fitness and strength take time while the body adapts and changes.
Follow-up sessions (or sessions for those patients we already know and don’t need to assess) are slightly different. They are also 60 minutes long, but the time is split between 30 minutes working 1:1 with us and 30 minutes working on your own in the gym.
The price for both types of sessions is £60.
Although sessions are pay-as-you-go, ideally, there needs to be a mental commitment to at least 12 weeks of exercise. For those who prefer to block book to help with their adherence, we offer packages of 6 sessions at a 10% discount. These can be used at any frequency, but we suggest 1-2 weekly.
Would you like to have your strength, fitness and movement evaluated?
Our senior physiotherapist and strength and conditioning expert, McKenzie Jenkin, leads this service. During the two-hour session, he will take a detailed medical history and perform various clinical, functional, and performance tests. He will use motion capture technology to examine gait and movement and a dynamometer to measure force production.
We will assess your flexibility, muscular endurance, aerobic capacity, coordination, reactions, balance and power.
This is more than just a “gait assessment” or a “bike fit”. Understanding your body can enable you to see areas for improvement and have a quantifiable benchmark to return to if you develop an injury. It is commonplace in professional sports to screen players pre-season, during the season, and when returning to play following an injury.
Benefits

Ready to find out how our experts can help you?
If we have given you an exercise plan and you want to carry out the exercises independently using the Barn’s facilities, you can do so.
These 90-minute sessions will need to be booked so we know how many people will be in the building and can ensure we’re on hand if needed.
The cost for this will be £15 per session.
