How training with injuries works
Share your history
Tell Wayne about the injury, any diagnosis and what your physio or GP has advised.
Start within your limits
Your plan starts with movements that feel safe and builds from there.
Build back up
Progress is steady and measured, so confidence grows with strength.
How Wayne adapts training around injuries
Training around an injury starts with what you can do, not what you cannot. Wayne asks about your history and any advice from your GP or physiotherapist, then chooses exercises that load the area gently and keep everything else strong. Range of motion, tempo and load are increased slowly, and each session is reviewed so the plan moves at the pace your body allows. Knees, lower backs and shoulders are common examples.
Working alongside your physio
Wayne is a personal trainer, not a physiotherapist, and he does not diagnose or treat injuries. If you have a recent or painful injury, see a medical professional first. Once you have been cleared to exercise, coaching can help you rebuild strength and confidence after physiotherapy ends, which is often when people drift back into old habits. If something does not feel right during training, Wayne will adjust the exercise or point you back to your physio.
Who training with injuries suits
This coaching suits people who have finished physiotherapy and want to keep getting stronger, people with long-standing aches who have stopped training, and anyone nervous about getting hurt again. If you are in acute pain or have not had an injury assessed, see a medical professional first.
“What really stood out was his attention to proper form, progression, and long-term strength rather than rushing the process. I’m now doing exercises I never thought I’d feel comfortable with again.”
Training with injuries questions
I have joint pain or an old injury. Can I still train?
Yes. Wayne adapts exercises for joint pain, past injuries and health conditions, so you keep moving safely while still making progress. If you are under a doctor or physiotherapist, tell Wayne so your plan fits their advice.
Is it too late to build muscle in my 40s or 50s?
It is never too late. People in their 40s, 50s and beyond can lose body fat and build muscle with a smart, tailored approach. Wayne uses safe, effective exercises that help you feel stronger and more energised without putting stress on your joints.
I’m a complete beginner. Will it be too hard for me?
No. Every plan has beginner-friendly options and clear guidance. Whether you have never picked up a dumbbell or you are coming back after a break, Wayne will help you feel confident from day one.
How quickly will I see results?
Everyone is different. Some clients notice changes in two to four weeks, others take longer. Fat loss and strength are long-term, and Wayne will keep you on track without making promises he cannot keep.
