Struggling with back pain but not sure how to start moving again?

If you’ve been living with back pain, you’ll know how much it can chip away at your confidence. Simple movements can feel daunting. You might even avoid exercise in case it makes things worse.

But the truth is—the right kind of movement can help you feel better.

Our Back Pain Rehabilitation Class is a weekly, small-group session designed to help you get moving again in a calm, supportive environment.

✅ Gentle, guided exercises
✅ Focus on building confidence
✅ Run by clinicians who understand pain and pacing
✅ No pressure—just steady progress

Led by experienced clinicians, the class focuses on rebuilding strength, improving mobility, and helping you feel more confident in your body again.

“I’ve had people turn up very apprehensive to begin with,” says Tish, our Sports Therapist, “and after a few weeks, they’re asking for more exercises!”

It’s not about pushing yourself. It’s about finding what works for you and moving forward one step at a time.

What does elite-level sports testing look like in action? 🧪⚽️

We recently hosted Gosport Borough Football Club at our state-of-the-art rehab facility for a full day of pre-season training and performance testing.

The squad took part in a series of high-level assessments, including:

✅ Strength & conditioning testing
✅ Body composition analysis
✅ Expert rehab & recovery support..and more.

Led by our sports rehab, physio and dietetics teams, the testing provided an in-depth look at each player’s physical condition — giving the coaching staff and players valuable insights ahead of the new season.

We’ll be welcoming the team back in a couple of weeks to track progress and help them prepare for a strong start to the season.

Good luck with the rest of pre-season, GBFC! 💪🔵
