One of the most important factors in training and rehabilitation is to be able to step back and see the big picture.

In business and organisation behaviour, we might talk about having operational, tactical and strategic goals.

Operational is about what is happening at the coal face, what is going on at the front line of the business.

Tactical is about how are we setting up to create the best environment for those operational goals.

And Strategic would be more about the long term vision of the business.

When we are dealing with training and rehabilitation, it is important that we have the same structure in place.

We need to know what the overall goal is, what are we trying to achieve in the long term?

We then need to break that down into smaller chunks so that we know what we are trying to achieve in this phase of the process?

Then the operational side is - what are we trying to achieve in that session, that exercise session or that home exercise programme?

By having an overall structure and plan we can then utilise all our tools - from manual therapy, training, coaching - but understand how they fit together as part of an overall plan.

For example, a builder presents with severely aggravated lower back.

The first phase is to control pain and reduce sensitivity. This may involve client education, manual therapy, light exercise, mobility work and adjusting lifestyle factors like sleep, stress management and diet.

We then start to build capacity through higher levels of exercise, whole body conditioning

We then build towards building strength and power in the movements that are required.

The client is always told WHY we are doing what we are doing, and how it feeds into the big picture of being back at work feeling stronger, more confident and having an honest belief that you can trust your body again.

When you are planning your training and rehabilitation, make sure you thread everything together into a long term strategy that moves you towards your goals.

Why is it good to be strong?

I have this conversation with many clients - runners, cyclists, rugby players, cleaners and builders.

They love what they do. So when I say we need to add some strength training, they quite reasonably ask:

“Why? I love what I do. If I wanted to go to the gym, I’d do that!”

The answer is capacity.

Every time we use our body, we place demands on it. The greater our capacity, the more demand we can tolerate before we become overwhelmed.

Think of strength like the size of a car engine.

A 1 litre car travelling at 70mph may be working pretty hard. If it then has to climb a steep hill or overtake, it may struggle to find that extra capacity.

A 3 litre engine travelling at the same 70mph is using a much smaller percentage of its available power. It has more reserve when the demands increase.

The same applies to us.

If our everyday activities, work or sport regularly push us close to our physical capacity, everything becomes more demanding. We may experience more aches, minor strains and fatigue, and our ability to perform can suffer.

Strength training helps build that “reserve”.

For athletes, that can mean usual efforts and intensities feel more achievable and sustainable, with more “gears” available when they’re needed.

For people at work, it can mean everyday tasks place less strain on the body.

The goal isn’t to become a powerlifter. It’s to build enough capacity that you’re thriving at your activity rather than just surviving it.

And you don’t need huge weights or 5–6 hours in the gym every week.

Start small.

Apply progressive overload.

Give the body a reason to adapt.

Build the engine, and the things you love doing become easier to sustain.

If you need help putting a plan together, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
