Specialist Focus
Injury Rehabilitation Personal Training Tailored For Your Body
We treat injuries as information, not merely temporary obstacles to overcome. Our team of Sydney CBD personal trainers specialise in injury prevention, movement rehabilitation, and building strength that holds up long-term.
Every injury rehabilitation personal training program at SOMA starts with a full postural and movement assessment. We map your compensation patterns, identify the root cause of your limitations, and build from there.
Are you coming back from a back injury, a shoulder issue, or a sport-related setback? Our programs create a safe, structured path back to full training.
And if you’re an executive dealing with desk-related injury or postural breakdown, our corporate wellness personal training program handles that too.
Studio address: Ground Floor, 88 Phillip Street, Sydney CBD. Accessible before 7am and after 6pm.
What We Treat
Common Conditions Our Injury Rehabilitation Personal Trainers Address
You don’t need a referral or a physio sign-off to start. Our trainers adapt injury rehabilitation personal training programs for a wide range of conditions:
- Lower back pain and postural imbalances from desk work or poor movement patterns
- Shoulder and rotator cuff injuries, including post-surgical recovery
- Knee and hip rehabilitation, including post-reconstruction strength work
- Post-surgical strength recovery and progressive loading
- Chronic tightness and immobility from long-term desk-based work
- Sport-related muscle injuries and movement dysfunction
- General compensation patterns that increase injury risk over time
Not sure if your condition is suitable? Get in touch with us, and we’ll walk you through it.
How Injury Rehabilitation Personal Training Works
Every program follows the same four stages, so you always know what happens next and why.
-
Initial Consultation
We review your full injury history, current limitations, lifestyle, and goals before anything else.
-
Full Body Assessment
Posture analysis, movement patterns, muscle balance, and body composition scans. We find exactly where your body is compensating.
-
Tailored Rehab Program
A progressive injury rehabilitation personal training plan built around your body. Every exercise has a reason and a target outcome.
-
Ongoing Tracking
We track everything via the SOMA app: workouts, metrics, progress benchmarks, and direct messaging with your trainer.

Injury Rehabilitation Personal Training in Sydney CBD: Your Questions Answered
Can't find the answer you're looking for? Our team is happy to talk through your injury and what a program would look like.
-
Not always. For minor injuries and postural issues, we can begin straightaway with a tailored injury rehabilitation personal training program. If you've had surgery or are managing a more significant condition, we recommend checking with your GP or physio first.
-
Physiotherapy focuses on diagnosis, treatment, and early-stage recovery. Our injury rehabilitation personal trainers work alongside that process, typically once you've been cleared to exercise. We build progressive strength and movement programs that prevent re-injury and restore performance.
-
In most cases, yes. Strength training after injury is one of the most effective ways to rebuild tissue resilience and restore movement quality. Our trainers use movement assessments to identify compensation patterns and build strength from a stable, safe foundation.
-
We start by analysing your posture and movement patterns to understand what's driving the pain. From there, we build a program addressing the root cause: corrective exercises, targeted strengthening, and mobility work. Our Reformer Pilates classes also complement one-on-one rehab PT effectively.
