From lifting plateau + pain → hitting multiple PRs
“I was initially very sceptical of doing an 'entirely online' approach to physio and PT but quickly found the scientific and evidence-based approach Alex and Gabs took to structuring my training program both reassuring and immediately productive. It’s a Rolls-Royce service from experts who really know what they’re doing.”
Rik
“We initially reduced the volume and the weight and used tempo to control intensity. The reduction in weight worried me at first as it felt like a step backwards, but after some weeks of this programme I was able to recover so that my back issues were significantly reduced and managed to add more than 30kg to my squat PB.”
Rob
“I worked with him for 6 months and I was able to hit PRs in all three of the main lifts, while training one less day a week.”
Lorenzo
“Their analysis of my squat and deadlift form identified key issues contributing to my lower back pain. A few modifications resolved 95% of the problem, and I am now able to squat without pain.”
Ryan
“It felt great to be able to continue training knowing I was also working towards resolving the injury. I am now pleased to say I am lifting and squatting pain free and slowly building the weight back up.”
Gareth
“I'm now back to a 60kg squat pain free. I was sceptical about working with an online coach but they built me a plan which lets me train without flare ups. I would recommend to anyone who wants to get back into lifting but is scared they will make their injury worse.”
Guy
“I was initially skeptical as the service Alex provided is all web-based. How can he truly identify my issue? I noticed steady improvements after the first few weeks and the pain continually decreased over time. By the end of the program, my back pains had stopped troubling me.”
Jason
“I was so nervous about hurting my back again - and was sceptical of doing a fully remote programme. I'm now increasing my weights and feeling so much stronger, and have a better idea of how to do this in a safe and sustainable way.”
Katherine
“I've managed to get my hack squat up to 180kg being on the program. I'd recommend the program for anyone who has been to a regular physiotherapist in the past and has been struggling to see any results”
Kieran
“I am thrilled to report that thanks to the diligent guidance and support of this online training service, my pain has significantly diminished. I am now able to engage in the workouts I love without any problems or concerns.”

“Alex. I was skeptical this remote approach would be as effective as in person coaching however Alex's commitment to prompt communication via Whatsapp meant I felt I had access to advice and coaching almost constantly. I now have full range of motion back in my leg, which almost felt impossible when I first contacted Alex and was achieved within a few weeks of starting the program.”
Hannah
“Over the past months, I've improved my technique in all my lifts. I haven't felt as good with my technique ever before. I notice how my stability improves, how my weak areas get stronger, how my technique allows me to build up strength again in a safe way. And did I mention that my knee pain is gone?”
Kai
“Having had knee surgery, naturally I lost some of the confidence in myself to be able to perform at the same level as I was before.
But through the program, Alex has got me back to those levels and allowed me to push on even further than I could have imagined.”
Oli
“I was skeptical of online coaching and wasn’t sure how we could work out what was going on without physical manipulation etc.
I’m now back lifting completely pain free, feel stronger than I have done in years and able to run again which I didn’t think would be possible.”
Joe
“Shoulder and knee are close to pain free when training, I can swim pain free and my back isn’t chronically tight when I go about my day anymore. It’s all coming along nicely!”
Shane
“On return to football I have had no issues with my knee or hamstring. I'm back to playing 2/3 times a week and i'm at my strongest. I'm also the lightest i've been for a few years which is great.”
James
“I was skeptical about doing this online, however within 2 weeks of doing Alex's set workouts I was already feeling stronger and having less pain. It has been just over 4 months now and I am stronger and able to participate in all the sports I love.”
Katie
“The process was enlightening, and helped give me the tools I needed to deal with the knee pain but also better awareness over my body allowing me to improve mobility and deal with muscle imbalance.”
Ben
“Yes I was sceptical, as l'd been to so many Physios, Osteopath's & Chiropractics. Spent lots of money to get nowhere. It has now been 4 months and it's been an absolute life changer. My knee pain has gone and I gained so much strength in my legs”
Suzy
“I'm now doing my old 3 rep maxes for 10 comfortable reps and can still walk down stairs without knee pain! I would particularly recommend strength physio for anyone with chronic pain that doesn't go away and stay away following traditional physio.”

Andrew
“I am back to making steady progress on my lifts, hitting PRs, and also improving on my athletic performance overall.”
Natalie
“I can finally shoulder press with my hands facing forward. I haven’t been able to do that for 2 years. I tested with a barbell overhead press, just for 1 set @ 30kg. And nada, nothing. It was fantastic.”
Zukky
“Now I can get back to doing more of the things I love. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get into strength training or anyone looking to fix chronic injuries”
Chris
“I was skeptical at first because there is no physical contact with the physio. Would strongly recommend these guys to anyone struggling with any kind of pain.”
Philip
“I came to him to rehab my shoulder, he fixed it completely with specific exercises. From there I changed my goals to building muscle. I'm now in the best shape of my life, lifting more and gaining muscle consistently.”
Tom
“I started working with Alex to recover from a shoulder injury that has been putting me out of training for more than the last two years. If you're hurt and want to get back to enjoying training, work with Alex, he will get you there.”
David
“Anyone struggling with persistent niggles and injuries and looking to improve their strength and fitness would benefit from Alex's service.”
Fraser
“Overall, it was a very beneficial process and I'd recommend it to anybody aiming to fix their injuries/remedy their pain.”
Harrison
“Alex was incredibly heIpful, offering not just blind strength exercises for fixing 'shoulder pain' but a toolbox to assess where my deficits are and a way to track progress over time.”

“I am around lifting around 90-95% what I was pre-injury, my front squat technique has significantly improved and I have hit new PBs in other areas such as push press and deadlifts which has been great!”
Lily
“Alex has helped me deal with multiple injuries as a weightlifter, he's helped me get back on track, build confidence and get back into competing again!”
Adam
“Alex’s program helped me perform a squat with a full range of motion for the first time since being injured which felt like a massive breakthrough for me. Alex also really helped me improve my bench and deadlift.”
Bridget
“I was skeptical at first as I couldn't see how physiotherapy would work virtually but I ended up being so happy because it has helped me so much and the online nature of the program actually ended up being perfect to fit around my busy lifestyle.”
Katie
“I was slightly skeptical as it was all done online, I usually prefer in person, but I took the plunge anyway. l instantly saw changes in my mobility and pain for the better!”

“I was a bit skeptical about working online, but it's turned out to be incredibly effective. Since working with him, the knee pain I used to experience while standing or walking has reduced considerably.”
Christine
“Anyone struggling with persistent niggles and injuries and looking to improve their strength and fitness would benefit from Alex's service.”
Fraser
“I came to Strength Physio after trying various physios that didn't work for my lower back issue. Thanks to their approach I'm now back to lifting after a solid 2-3 year gap - something I didn't think would be possible.”
Jessica
“My biggest personal breakthrough and my main focus for seeking Alex's help was to get back to a conventional deadlift and I am now back to the floor (just did 85kg with no tweaks or injuries for months now!).”
Ash
“Every physio before had told me to severely limit my activity. Alex had a different approach. My biggest breakthrough has been increasing my mind/ muscle connection and exercising without pain!”
Alex
“I started from a standing start after 4 months of inactivity but quickly regained form and confidence with both my deadlift and squat moving from 100kg to close to 200kg with no recurrence of pain.”
Lorcan
“Alex was also able to give me exercises to help progress my jerk and strengthen my lower back, one of the areas that I always had issues with after training. If you want a quick fix, look elsewhere. If you want someone to invest in your wellbeing and progression, book an appointment now!”
Aaron
“He did not tell me to ‘stop lifting’ or ‘take a break’’. If you have any pain or injury and want help to treat it WITHOUT compromising your sports training, I cannot recommend Alex enough.”

Katie
“This is a game changer as it has allowed my body to come together and function properly in all the sports I want to do. Personally I would recommend Alex's program to anyone who wants to stay active and injury free.”
Katie
“It's been fantastic and incomparable to when we first started on this journey. The fact I can now go out running or do a CrossFit class without thinking about my knee is remarkable.”
Niall
“When I started my lower back was always stiff and sore, and I'd always get pain after deadlifting above 80-90Kg. After 5 months of focussed training, my back feels great, and in my last session I was able to deadlift 120kg with ease, and with no pain after.”
Chris
“In 6 months I was able to go from sore and uncomfortable every day to finishing a Spartan Race, starting CrossFit and hitting 100+ pull ups on Pull Day in the gym - and I couldn't be happier.”
Alex
“I regained full range of motion back in my leg, which almost felt impossible when I first contacted Alex and was achieved within a few weeks of starting the program.”
