Personal training, strength coaching and nutrition can play an important role in helping people become stronger, improve performance and build confidence in the gym.
At Corrective Pain Relief, we believe good healthcare does not exist in isolation. Where appropriate, we work alongside trusted personal trainers, coaches and fitness professionals across Manchester who can support different stages of a person’s health, training and performance journey.
Our growing fitness network begins with professionals we know personally and have developed genuine working relationships with through training, patient referrals and Manchester’s fitness community.
Treatment and rehabilitation can help someone recover from pain or injury, but for many people the longer-term goal is getting back to training confidently.
That might mean returning to the gym, rebuilding strength, preparing for a HYROX event, improving body composition or simply developing a more consistent approach to exercise.
Working alongside an appropriate personal trainer or coach can help bridge the gap between rehabilitation and independent training.
Likewise, personal trainers may identify clients experiencing pain or injury who would benefit from further assessment. This creates a useful two-way relationship between clinical care, rehabilitation and the fitness professionals supporting someone in the gym.
Liam Faulkner is a Manchester-based Personal Trainer, Strength Coach and MNU Certified Nutritionist working from PureGym Manchester Spinningfields.
With more than 10 years’ experience, his areas of focus include resistance training, strength and conditioning, body composition, lifting technique and nutritional coaching. His approach also includes injury prevention and supporting rehabilitation. PureGym
Liam and Adrian have an established professional relationship, with Liam having referred clients to Corrective Pain Relief where osteopathic assessment, treatment or rehabilitation may be appropriate.
For patients looking to progress their strength training or receive more structured support with nutrition and gym-based training, Liam can provide an additional layer of coaching outside the treatment room.

Josh Hardman is a Personal Trainer based at PureGym Manchester Spinningfields, providing personal training and online coaching. His work has also developed strongly within Manchester’s HYROX and hybrid-training community. PureGym
Josh runs HYROX-focused training and is involved with Manchester HYROX Community, which is based at PureGym Manchester Spinningfields. TEAM MHC
Through our existing relationship, Josh has referred people to Corrective Pain Relief when pain, injury or movement problems require further assessment and treatment.
This creates a natural connection between HYROX coaching, strength and conditioning, injury rehabilitation and returning athletes progressively to training.

Stan Duraj is part of Manchester’s gym and personal-training community around Great Ancoats Street.
Our relationship with Stan provides another useful connection between clinical rehabilitation and gym-based training, particularly for people living or working around Ancoats and the eastern side of Manchester City Centre.
Adrian has referred people to Stan where continued gym-based support and personal training may complement their progression beyond treatment and rehabilitation.
This reflects how we want the network to work: connecting people with professionals we genuinely know and trust where another person’s expertise may help them take the next step.

Osteopathy and personal training have different roles, but there can be considerable overlap in the journey from injury back to confident movement.
At Corrective Pain Relief, treatment may involve assessment, hands-on care, mobility work and progressive exercise rehabilitation.
A personal trainer can then provide continued coaching around areas such as strength, exercise technique, training structure and longer-term fitness goals.
Where appropriate, communication between professionals can make that transition more straightforward.
The aim isn’t to keep someone in treatment indefinitely. It’s to help them heal, move and ultimately return to doing more independently.

Manchester has a diverse and growing fitness community, ranging from traditional strength training and personal training to HYROX, calisthenics, climbing, running and other forms of movement.
Our clinical work increasingly overlaps with these communities.
