Here’s what many of our clients come to us for support to overcome and live without:
"“FIT4FUNCTION has completely changed the way I think about physiotherapy. I originally went in with persistent low back pain that had stopped me running. Rather than just telling me to rest, Bradley assessed how I moved and built a plan that combined rehab with strength and conditioning. Within a few weeks the pain had reduced, and over the next couple of months I not only returned to running but set a new 10k PB. The communication, clarity of the plan, and focus on performance rather than just pain relief were outstanding.
I feel stronger, more confident, and actually understand my body now. Highly recommend.”
Hilary Bradbury, December 2025
The FIT4FUNCTION Approach
A clear pathway for people who want more than short term fixes.
Physiotherapy offers many different ways to help people recover and achieve their goals.
At FIT4FUNCTION, our approach has been shaped through years of working with athletes and active individuals who expect complete solutions and a return to high level performance, not just temporary relief.
The turning point came through working in high performance sport and seeing athletes struggle despite receiving traditional care. It became clear that many methods focused only on treating symptoms, without fully understanding how the whole body responds to load, stress, and real world demands. This drove a long term commitment to understand how the body truly functions in sport and daily life, not only in theory.
Through this experience, one thing became obvious. The body works as an integrated system. Pain is rarely just a local issue. When you are injured, your entire movement pattern adapts. Strength, control, and confidence all change as well. Addressing only the painful area is rarely enough.
From this, the FIT4FUNCTION approach was developed. We do not stop at getting you pain free. We restore function and then progress you toward higher levels of strength, capacity, and performance. Many clients do not just return to their previous level. They often perform better than before their injury.
Although this approach has roots in professional sport, it is designed for anyone who wants to move well, train hard, and live without physical limitation. Whether you are an athlete or simply active, we work with people who do not accept being restricted by pain or outdated treatment models.
Our aim is straightforward.
We help you get back to what you love doing with a body that is stronger, more resilient, and capable of performing at its best.
This is the FIT4FUNCTION approach.

A 4 step approach to take you from pain to performance
-
Pain changes how the nervous system perceives movement. When movement feels unsafe, the body creates protective strategies and compensations. Even after tissues heal, these protective patterns can remain.
We invest time to understand you, your story and your goals to gain clarity on what the perfect treatment plan for you is. We will discuss your medical history, lifestyle, specific concerns and future goals. We will then conduct a detailed assessment, including:
In this phase we focus on:
Restoring confidence in normal movement
Updating the nervous system that movement is safe again
Removing unnecessary protective guarding and stiffness
After detailed movement analysis and performance testing. Hands-on treatment and early movement exposure help the body “re-route” back to natural patterns, so movement feels safe, controlled, and confident again.
-
Once the system feels safe, we teach the body to work as a coordinated unit again. Injury disrupts timing, sequencing, and muscle coordination, not just strength.
Here we will also plan out your specific road map to full recovery and ensure you have complete clarity of what your journey will look like to not just fix your problem, but stay pain free long into the future.
Here we use targeted rehabilitation to:
Restore natural movement patterns
Reduce compensation strategies
Improve control, balance, and coordination
Re-integrate regions of the body so they work together as a team
Exercises in this phase may look simple, but they are highly specific and demanding for the nervous system. The goal is not just strong muscles, but efficient and coordinated movement.
-
With movement quality restored, we progressively increase physical capacity. This is where structured strength and conditioning becomes central.
We:
Progressively increase load, volume, and intensity
Develop strength, endurance, and tendon capacity
Build tolerance to the demands of sport and daily life
Progress in a stepwise manner to avoid flare-ups or setbacks
We do not skip steps. You “earn the right” to progress by demonstrating control, quality, and tolerance at each level.
-
The final phase connects rehabilitation to the real world. It is where you transition from simply being pain-free to performing at your required level, whether in sport, work, or life.
This phase focuses on:
Sport-specific and task-specific loading
Resilience to stressors such as training, work, and lifestyle demands
Fatigue tolerance, recovery strategies, and workload management
Confidence under speed, load, and pressure
We ensure you are not only recovered but prepared. The objective is robust, confident, thoughtless movement you can rely on in real environments.

At FIT4FUNCTION, our role is to reduce pain and restore confident movement so your body can function and perform at its best. We do not simply treat symptoms. We assess how your body moves as a whole system and address the reasons pain developed in the first place.
We use a proactive, hands-on approach where appropriate, combined with targeted rehabilitation and strength and conditioning principles. Treatment may include soft-tissue techniques, joint mobilisation, acupuncture or dry needling, movement re-training, and progressive exercise prescription. The goal is always to calm pain, restore function, and then build strength and capacity so you are more resilient than before.
Whether you are returning from injury, managing persistent pain, or pursuing higher performance, we provide clear guidance, structured programming, and evidence-based treatment to help you move from pain to function to performance.

Yes — you can access physiotherapy online.
We provide comprehensive online physiotherapy consultations that include assessment, diagnosis, education, and a personalised rehabilitation and strength program. Online sessions are suitable for most musculoskeletal injuries and performance issues because effective treatment relies on accurate assessment, coaching, and progressive loading, not just hands-on therapy.
Through online physiotherapy you can expect:
movement assessment via video
clear explanation of your diagnosis and contributing factors
tailored exercise prescription with progressions
guidance on load management, pain control, and return to sport
follow-up reviews to monitor progress and adjust your plan
Online access is ideal if you are not local, travel frequently, or prefer remote support. In-person sessions are available if hands-on treatment is clinically indicated, but many clients achieve excellent results fully online.
