What strength & conditioning involves

Strength & conditioning is the practical, evidence-based side of sports science: plyometrics, speed and agility, mobility, core stability, endurance and weight training, applied to improve how you move and perform. Gaining strength also helps with everyday activities, injury recovery, balance and general quality of life, not only sporting performance.

It suits athletes working towards a competitive goal, beginners starting a fitness journey, and older clients focused on functional movements such as standing up with ease. The starting point is always an assessment of how you move now.

“I have seen several different therapists at Sammy Margo’s over many years. Every one has been excellent. When I was recovering from a hip replacement the physio I received helped me recover really quickly. Highly recommended.”

“I had a full hip replacement following a cycle accident, and have daily physio visits on weekdays for three weeks. I am already able to walk short distances without a stick or crutch, and this is entirely due to the work they have done with me.”

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a physiotherapist and a strength coach?
Our strength & conditioning sessions are led by physiotherapists with postgraduate training in the field, so technique and programming are guided by the same clinical assessment used for injury treatment.
Do I need to be an athlete to benefit?
No. Anyone can benefit from improved movement quality and strength, from elite athletes to people starting their first fitness programme.
How does this help prevent injury?
Assessing your movement patterns lets us spot and correct the habits most likely to lead to injury, then build strength around them.
Is strength & conditioning available at home?
Yes, with portable equipment for home or office visits, alongside our fully equipped clinic gyms and Pilates studio.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly, and most patients are seen within 24 to 48 hours.
