LUCA BALESTRA CASE STUDY
Pain Free And Avoided Surgery
"I can now front squat more than my bodyweight to full depth, pain-free, and continue building strength. More importantly, I’ve learned how to manage aches and adjust my training without fear of injury. My hips and body feel stronger than ever!" – Luca Balestra
Luca, a freelance translator, came to Strength Physiotherapy after being diagnosed with hip impingement and told never to squat below parallel. He declined surgery, and after 5 months, he’s squatting pain-free and confidently managing his own training.
Amaar Wahab CASE STUDY
No Hip Pain Whatsoever
"Hip pain was affecting my training and even simple things like getting in and out of a car. I was hesitant about online coaching, but Alex’s programming was a game-changer. Not only did it fix my lifting technique, but it eliminated my pain completely. Now, my strength and technique have improved massively!" – Ammaar Wahab
Ammaar took 6 months off training due to a hip injury, with no lasting solutions from the NHS or MRI results. In just 3 months with Strength Physiotherapy, he returned to full weightlifting, hitting personal bests of a 180kg squat and 217.5kg deadlift.

Hitting New Highs
"Since joining this program, my lower body strength has skyrocketed, and I’ve learned to manage training niggles without compromising progress.

And I did it all online while living in Sydney!" – Oli Woolf

Andy Johnson CASE STUDY
Pain Free and Stronger
“Knee pain was ruining my weightlifting and even affecting my work. Rest, ibuprofen, and ice gave me short-term relief, but the pain kept coming back. Strength Physiotherapy changed everything—within two months, my knee pain was gone, my back strength improved, and my snatch technique got better. I even hit a new squat PR of 170kg!” – Andy Johnson
Andy struggled with persistent knee pain that kept him from training. Instead of stopping, Strength Physiotherapy helped him rehab while continuing weightlifting. Two months later, he was pain-free, stronger than ever, and smashing personal bests!
