Exercise Therapy
In Cirencester and the Cotswolds
Health | Fitness | Rehabilitation
Pete Fraser Fitness has a strong and established background in exercise therapy, restorative movement, and preventative training.
As a qualified exercise physiologist, Pete developed his postgraduate clinical experience within a small and specialist Harley Street othopeadic rehabilitation clinic, working closely with medical professionals and physiotherapists. Over more than two decades, their exercise therapy practice has continued to evolve, supporting clients in managing and resolving a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.
Today, this same level of expertise is available to clients across Cirencester and the wider Cotswolds, delivered in a private, professional setting.
What Is Exercise Therapy?
Exercise therapy focuses on structured, preventative, and restorative exercise designed to improve movement quality, reduce pain, and support long-term physical wellbeing.
It is particularly effective for individuals recovering from injury, managing postural issues, or seeking specialist guidance beyond what traditional fitness environments provide.
Exercise Therapy Can Support
Balancing the musculoskeletal system to improve alignment, mechanics, and injury resilience
Post-operative rehabilitation alongside physiotherapy
Correcting muscular imbalances
Improving posture and functional movement
Strength, conditioning, and mobility for older adults
Pre-natal exercise to safely maintain maternal health and fitness
Post-Operative Rehabilitation
Pete Fraser Fitness provides a measured, scientific approach to recovery following surgery or medical intervention.
With extensive experience supporting post-operative clients, Pete and Kim focus on helping you safely rebuild strength, mobility, and flexibility while protecting the healing area.
Maintaining fitness during rehabilitation is essential. Training methods are carefully adapted to eliminate unnecessary strain while allowing your wider fitness programme to continue wherever appropriate.
We work closely with physiotherapists and medical practitioners to support a coordinated pathway to recovery and can recommend trusted professionals should further consultation be beneficial.
Exercise Therapy for Over 50s
Strength, conditioning, and mobility become increasingly important with age.
As muscular elasticity and strength declines with age, joint stiffness invariably increases. Targeted exercise plays a vital role in maintaining independence, balance, and confidence in everyday movement.
Pete Fraser Fitness designs intelligent, structured programmes that support:
Coordination and stability
Joint support
Functional strength
Fall prevention
Overall health
The goal is simple, to help you maintain a high quality of life and continue doing the activities you enjoy.
Posture Correction and Prehabilitation
Preventing injury is just as important as treating it.
Pete and Kim place significant emphasis on postural improvement, re-alignment, and muscular conditioning, an approach often referred to as prehabilitation.
Your Assessment
Initial sessions focus on a detailed evaluation of:
Musculoskeletal alignment
Movement patterns
Strength and stability
Physiological variables
From this, a structured programme is developed with carefully managed progression. As intensity and complexity increase appropriately, clients often experience improvements not only in how they move — but in how they feel day to day.
The result is stronger movement, reduced injury risk, and enhanced long-term health.
Pre-Natal Exercise Therapy
Pete Fraser Fitness provides a professional and supportive environment for expectant mothers seeking to maintain their health and fitness safely throughout pregnancy.
Programmes focus on stability, mobility, and overall wellness, adapting sensitively to each stage of pregnancy.
All exercise guidance follows current best practice from the American College of Sports Medicine, helping mothers-to-be remain active with confidence through every trimester.
Expert Guidance You Can Trust
Exercise therapy at Pete Fraser Fitness is calm, structured, and highly personalised.
Whether you are recovering from surgery, addressing long-standing discomfort, or investing in preventative care, you will receive experienced, hands-on support focused on lasting outcomes, not quick fixes.
