Injury & Sports Rehabilitation

Injury and sports rehabilitation in Henley-on-Thames

Assessment and progressive rehabilitation for joint, muscle and sports injuries — from the gym and running to grappling and combat sports.

About this service

Whether you have tweaked a shoulder rolling at BJJ, your knee has started grumbling on longer runs, or your back has never quite settled after lifting something awkward, an injury can quietly take over your week.

Katherine assesses what is going on, explains it clearly and builds a progressive plan that gets you moving, training and doing everyday life with confidence again — with a clear route back to the activities you love.

Katherine's approach

How assessment and treatment work

  1. Find the cause, not just the sore spot

    A thorough assessment of how you move, train and load the injured area, plus what your sport or day demands of it.

  2. Active, progressive rehab

    Strength and movement work that builds from where you are today towards the demands of your sport or routine.

  3. A clear return plan

    Practical milestones for returning to training, sparring, running or lifting — and honest advice if something needs another professional.

What to expect

  • A full one-hour first assessment
  • A clear explanation of your injury in plain language
