Snatch shoulders, deadlift backs, kipping elbows, ring-dip pecs. Strength sports break in specific ways. We diagnose the cause, not the symptom, and rebuild loading patterns so you keep training while it heals.
Your snatch / clean / press / pull-up under load. Find the breakdown — usually mobility, sometimes structural. Often it's neither and you just programmed badly.
What stays, what scales, what sits out for 14 days. Lifting is rarely all-or-nothing. Modified accessory work usually keeps the structural gains.
Tendon and joint loading specifically dosed. Bottom-up to top-down. Eccentric work where it matters. Reassessed every session.
Building back to repeat-rep volume. Met-con-ready conditioning. Final weeks: full intent, full speed, no surprises.
Reading and the Thames Valley have a strong strength-sport scene — multiple CrossFit affiliates, a serious powerlifting community at the local strength gyms, and Olympic lifting at university and club level.
Typical training week: 5–6 days, mixed modal or pure strength splits. Comp prep cycles, hypertrophy blocks, peaking. We build rehab that fits the macrocycle — not one that ignores it.
