Online Fitness Coaching
Do you need help starting your fitness journey? Do you feel pain or have an injury that is holding you back from your full potential? Are you struggling to make any further progress?

Why choose SAFE Hands Health, Fitness and Rehabilitation?
Josh at SAFE Hands HFR is both an injury specialist and an exercise specialist. You know that you're in safe hands and getting value for money as you are paying for the expertise of both an Osteopath and a Personal Trainer.
He can recommend a programme that is least likely to result in injury, whilst helping your reach your targets. By reducing your risk of injury you are more likely to succeed in your personal health and fitness goals.
Health and fitness is about a lifestyle change, and one of the biggest reasons that people give up so frequently is because of injury, so why not try and counteract this by incorporating injury prevention into your health routine?
Examples of what Josh may be able to help:
1/ Exercise programmes tailored to your current musculoskeletal concerns; for example if you are experiencing shoulder pain whilst exercising, but you don't want to give up the gym completely. Programmes may include rehabilitation exercises prescription for the given problem.
2/ Exercise programmes tailored around previous injuries; for example if you have previously suffered with a disc bulge in your lower back, you want to get fitter but your not sure what is appropriate to do, all you know is you really don't want to experience that pain again!
3/ You have poor posture, you know you need to fix it, you're just not sure how. Poor posture can lead to a greater injury risk when exercising, and a great risk of developing musculoskeletal complaints on a day-to-day basis. Exercise programmes can be tailored to help improve your posture by stretching and strengthening the right areas.
4/ You have been advised that you need to get fitter or stronger to reduce the risk of your injury reoccurring, or to prevent injury risk.
5/ Your current health isn't great, you just want to slowly get healthier so that you can enjoy life a little more, spend more time with the kids or grandchildren and make it a lifestyle change, not another temporary phase - whilst ensuring that what you do is appropriate for you, at a level that won't hurt you.
6/ Or you may just be a healthy individual but need help tailoring your routine to get to that next level; whilst ensuring that you're not just upping the weight constantly and risking injury. It may even be that you just need an exercise programme tailored to your specific sport or hobby; such as improving that golf swing.

What do you get?
When you first start on your journey with SAFE Hands HFR, you will receive:
An initial consultation with your dedicated exercise, injury and rehabilitation specialist which will take into account:
-
An in-depth injury and medical profile assessment (previous injuries, current injuries or ‘niggles’, a medical history questionnaire of your general health etc.) – this allows me to ensure that your plan has minimal chance of aggravating previous injuries, causing new ones and will allow me to ensure that your plans will be suitable and effective for YOUR current circumstances.
-
Analysis of your personal goals, time availability, equipment availability, preferences and dislikes. This allows me to design a plan that is 100% for you, whether it is a workout at home, in the local park or at the gym. You are more likely to stick to it if it fits around your lifestyle!
-
Analysis of your nutrition. I will ask you to keep a food diary of EVERYTHING that you eat and drink for the week prior to our first consultation so that I can suggest small alterations that you could make, this helps to keep it realistic and maintainable. Don’t worry, you won’t be eating salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner – and please be honest, there is no judgement, this is purely to help you.
A personalised session by session exercise programme that is designed specifically for YOU and YOUR goals. No copy and paste jobs, no generic exercises and nothing that is unrealistic for your personal circumstances.
