Most people have been through the old-school style of physio — a theraband, a sheet of paper with stick figures, and a long list of home exercises you’ll probably forget by tomorrow. The problem? Bands often underload you, paper leaves too much to the imagination, and too many exercises just aren’t realistic in the middle of a busy life.

At By Design, we do things differently. We use proper strength training equipment and functional movements that actually build capacity, reduce pain, and get you back to the activities you love. We give you clear video demonstrations instead of scribbles, and we cut the “homework” down to only what really matters — simple, effective, and achievable.

Our process is about meeting you where you’re at, building a plan that’s specific to your goals, and guiding you through a step-by-step pathway with clear checkpoints so you know you’re progressing. It’s not a one-size-fits-all program — we factor in your history, your timeline, your commitments, and most importantly, your long-term success.

This is physio, re-designed. Strength-based. Evidence-driven. Built for real life. đŸ’Ș

When we set out to create By Design Physio, we knew we didn’t want just another clinic space. Our vision was to build something different—an environment that felt inspiring, energising, and empowering for our clients, while also becoming a place our team could be proud to work in every day.

We wanted a space that reflected who we are: modern, open, and deeply connected to movement. A place that says “this is more than physio—it’s a lifestyle change.”

From the beginning, our goal was to step away from the traditional, sterile model of a clinic. Instead, we imagined a space that combined strength, health, and community. One where people could not only recover, but also grow, train, and thrive.

This vision became reality with the a lot of sweat, heated discussions, and countless hours of trial and errror. What emerged was the BD space you see today—filled with natural light, functional gym space, and an open design that blurs the line between clinic and performance space. You get the private personal element of the beautiful rooms, yet within a few steps, your rehab can be transformed to life-relevant movement!

Now, as we look back on this short 2.5 year journey, we’re reminded of why we started: to empower people to move better, live stronger, and take control of their health. For those who’ve walked through our doors, we hope this space feels like more than a clinic—because for us, it always has been.

Here’s to another great week at By Design Physio.

SPRING has SPRUNG, as Coach Scott would say đŸŒș
and sadly for Physio that means we’re gonna be seeing you in here for silly preventable injuries that may set you back for longer than you’d like


Increased outdoor activity means more hiking more running more outdoor sports and potential weighted packs, and maybe a hibernation or deconditioning phase through the depths of winter. This is not the recipe for success, more like the recipe for injury.

So let’s do something about it
 before it happens!

Foam rolling (all those little massage balls), is my go to for all things pain reduction and muscle recovery. It tends to reduce the severity of pain and also helps to bring blood flow to the area flushing it out.

Simply spending 2 to 3 minutes on each tight or painful region after an activity can help reduce injuries! The next step is to make sure that you’re ready for these activities by building strength and exposing yourself to them gradually overtime.

happy spring y’all 🌿🍃🌾đŸŒș

A push-up is within reach!!! You just have to start, where you’re at
 no harder no easier, just start where your body is at.
Now that’s the easy part, doing the movement.

Let’s be honest, the hard part is you going to stick to the plan.
So lock it in.
Commit to Monday Wednesday and Friday, as soon as you wake up while you wait for the kettle to boil, do 10 push-ups in however long it takes to do it.

You get rest days Tuesday Thursday Saturday Sunday, for your muscles to adapt to the strength that you’re exposing them to. Therefore you’re working for less than 50% of the week.

I find that the easiest wins are the ones that are small enough, yet challenging enough, to keep you moving forward. If you win, you feel good. You feel good, you want to keep working on yourself.
But if you feel bad, sh*t hits a fan.
So bring on the positive feedback loops, and let’s get that push-up going.

Want to kneel without pain?
Break it down > practice > try again đŸ’ȘđŸœ

A kneel is a ‘lunge’, and a lunge is a single leg squat, therefore if you can’t squat lending is probably too advanced for you.
The easiest way to build up to a pattern that you can’t do (especially if you need to be able to do it for life; e.g. cleaning the shower getting to the bottom cupboard or vacuum vacuuming under your bed), then we need to address this fear of movement, or build strength in this movement pattern
 asap! đŸ’ȘđŸœđŸ€©

Rest might feel good in the moment, but it’s only hitting the pause button. Muscles weaken, joints stiffen, and the risk of re-injury goes up. That’s why so many people end up back in pain after “waiting it out.”

Rehab builds you back stronger. By moving with the right plan, you reduce pain, restore function, and create resilience so the same injury doesn’t come back. At By Design Physio, we don’t stop at relief — we take you all the way through strength and performance. đŸ’Ș
