Why Our Rugby Training Programmes
The physical requirements for Rugby are more specific to each position, but in the modern game all players now need to be more dynamic and mobile, so that they can cover more of the pitch. Since Rugby became a professional game, aspects such as size, speed, strength, and power have become very important. The conditioning element for an elite player is so important now due to the fact that it can reduce injuries sustained through heavy collisions. Our series of programmes have been designed to take you from the beginning of a new training cycle, all the way through to competition, whilst preparing you for optimal performance. We recommend that you follow the training programmes in the order we specify, to help you structure your training correctly for long term development so that you produce your best possible results. We have identified the key physical attributes for Rugby that will develop your performance. We have, as a result, written programmes designed to target these attributes specifically for the following areas: strongman, strength, power, speed, and agility.

Shane Nicholson – Football
“Being a former professional sportsman for many years and having many different injuries through my career, naturally I have seen many different physios and sports masseurs professionals. I can confidently say, I have no problem referring Dave to any of my friends, family, and clients and have always done so in all the time I’ve used Dave for my own treatments. I’ve found Dave to be very thorough and informative with any injuries and related problems I’ve occurred over the years.”
