Low Back Pain Rehab Series Part 3: End-Stage Rehab 🧠💪

This is where physiotherapy bridges the gap between rehab and full return to activity.

In the end stage, symptoms are usually settled and the focus shifts to restoring strength, control, and tolerance to the loads and movements that matter for your work, sport, or training. This phase should be guided and progressed, not rushed.

What are the key goals of end-stage rehab?

👉 Restore strength through full range of movement
👉 Improve spinal and hip load tolerance
👉 Prepare for lifting, running, impact and daily activities

Examples of end-stage exercises, demonstrated by physio Julian:
1️⃣ Pallof press
2️⃣ Cable woodchop
3️⃣ Kettlebell swings
4️⃣ Dorsal raises
5️⃣ Plank
6️⃣ RDL's
🔂 3 sets | 8-12 reps | 2x a week

Effort and muscle soreness are expected. Persistent or worsening back pain isn’t.

‼️ Remember: this is general guidance - always consult a qualified healthcare professional for personalised advice. 🩺

Training for a race isn’t just about clocking up the miles. All that repetitive, progressively harder running puts real stress on your muscles, tendons and joints.

That’s where Soft Tissue Therapy comes in. 👐

It’s not only about post-run maintenance – it’s one of the most effective ways to *prevent* injuries. Regular treatment helps you tackle those early “niggles” before they turn into something that forces you to cut back or stop running altogether.

Overload injuries are especially common when you’re increasing your mileage or trying to “catch up” after missed sessions. That push to do too much, too soon is exactly when your body needs extra support.

🏃 If you’re building towards a new distance, training for an event, or ramping up your weekly mileage, consider adding Soft Tissue Therapy to your plan – your future self (and your finish time) will thank you.

After a friendly game of touch rugby, Alex developed knee pain and didn’t want to take any risks – especially after a previous knee injury on the other side that required surgery. He went straight to Physiotherapist Amy Todd at our Raynes Park clinic. 🏥

Suspecting an ACL injury, Amy quickly involved Sport & Exercise Medicine Consultant Dr Farhan Shahid for a full assessment and clear diagnosis.

The result: a torn ACL.

Because Alex acted fast, he was eligible for a cross bracing protocol – a relatively new treatment option in the UK. His team moved quickly and he began treatment within days.

Over the next 12 weeks, Alex committed to regular rehab sessions and check-ins, steadily building strength and movement in his knee and progressing through each stage with focus and determination. 💪

The result was a complete success. Alex is back walking, playing the sports he loves, and even got down on one knee to propose to his fiancée. 🍾

We’re delighted to have supported Alex back to full strength and function – and to have helped him avoid surgery for a second time.

Soft tissue therapy is key for runners 🔑 🏃

As training builds, certain areas quietly take on more responsibility. Hips and glutes are often top of that list.

When they fatigue, the load rarely disappears. It just moves somewhere else, usually to the calves, hamstrings, or lower back. That’s when runners start chasing symptoms rather than causes.

Consistent soft tissue therapy helps keep those key areas coping with the work, so the load stays where it belongs

NHS waiting lists for long-term conditions are growing, and millions are seeing their health worsen while they wait for care.

Taking control of your health has never been more important. Building and maintaining muscle, improving cardiovascular fitness and staying active can lower your risk of chronic pain and lifestyle-related disease.

Although the government is talking more about prevention, many people still struggle to access the right support or know where to start. Self-referring to a physiotherapist, strength & conditioning coach or nutritionist can be a powerful way to manage existing conditions and improve your quality of life.

We explore these themes in our new episode of The Pure Pod with Chief Clinical Officer Claire Small and Medical Director Dr John Etherington. 🎙️

Available wherever you get your podcasts. 🎧💻

Low Back Pain Rehab Series Part 2: Mid-Stage 💪

The mid-stage phase is all about starting to build strength and confidence again.

Pain has often settled more than in the acute phase, which means your back is ready for a bit more load. The goal here isn’t to “push through,” but to reintroduce strength in a safe, controlled way that translates to real-life movements.

Think: hinge, squat, single-leg control.

These mid-stage exercises, demonstrated by physio, Julian, can help:

1️⃣ RDL's
2️⃣ Single arm dumbbell row
3️⃣ Single leg bridge
4️⃣ Kettlebell side bends
5️⃣ Box squat
🔂 2 sets | 15 reps | 2x a week

‼️ Remember: this is general guidance - always consult a qualified healthcare professional for personalised advice. 🩺
