Don't Rest It.
Rebuild It.
You tell me what you want to get back to. We test whether you're there. When you are, we're done.

Who I help
Everyone is returning to something.
You've rested it. Modified it. Been discharged. It's still there.
For a gym-goer, the sport is the gym. For someone else it's getting back to work, or picking their kids up without thinking about it. For a hockey player it's the ice.
Same process either way. You tell me what you want back, we collect the numbers through the rehab, and I show you when you've got there. Different finish lines, same method.
The approach
Pain is a load and capacity problem.
When demand exceeds what your body can handle, you get injured. Rest lowers the demand for a while but never builds the capacity, so the injury keeps returning. We reduce load intelligently, build capacity progressively, and keep you training throughout.
Services
Every stage of the injury. One place.
Start with a consultation, treat it hands-on, or hand over your whole training week. In person in Castleford, or online worldwide.
How it ends
You finish when you hit your goal.
Most rehab has no finish line. Mine starts with one.
I take your goal in the first session and that sets the endpoint. The plan runs in phases, and each phase has criteria you have to hit before you move to the next. In nearly every session I'm testing whether you've earned that step, or not yet.
Hit the final criteria and you're discharged. If you want to keep going, for performance or to lower your injury risk, that option is there. If you don't, we're done.
It's a strange business to be in. If I've done my job, I never see you again.
Between sessions
You don't get a sheet and a wave goodbye.
Your rehab goes into an app. Video demos, sets, reps and loads, so you're never guessing what the exercise was meant to look like.
Then you can message me. Anything that comes up, including the question you thought of on the drive home. I reply at least once a week, every week you're working through the plan. If an exercise is too hard or too easy, I change it. If I haven't heard from you, I message you.
Coaching clients get more than that. Effectively daily.
You get the plan, and you get me while you're doing it.
The numbers
Proof, not a hunch.
Where a number actually matters, I measure it.
I use a VALD ForceFrame for strength testing. You watch your own numbers live on the iPad while we test, and I tell you what they mean. We compare left against right, and against normative data for your age, height and weight. Then we retest so you can see it move. If it hasn't moved, we change something.
Nobody else in Castleford, Pontefract or Wakefield has one. The nearest is Leeds.
Not everything needs force testing. A shoulder that needs range of motion doesn't. For that I'm watching you lift on the gym floor, running special tests on the bed, or using hop and jump tests. The tool follows the question.

About
I know what losing training costs.
I'm Kyle, a Level 6 Sports and Exercise Therapist based in Castleford. I've trained since I was fifteen. A marathon, three halves, plus football, padel and squash. Lifting and running are how I manage stress and keep myself level, so when someone is told to just stop, I know what that takes from them. I think it's almost always the wrong call.
I built Folletti Performance & Rehab to be the therapist I'd have wanted myself. Someone who understands lifting and running, treats you like a person, and gives you a straight answer instead of a sick note.
Pain is information, not just a problem. We fix the load and keep you training while we fix the injury. Rehab and training were never separate things.
Questions, answered.
Do I have to stop training?
No. The whole method is built on keeping you training while we rebuild capacity. Stopping is the last resort, not the first.
Is this physio?
It sits between physio and performance coaching, closer to performance. Evidence-based assessment and rehab, delivered like strength coaching rather than a clinic waiting room.
What if my injury needs more than rehab?
I screen for red flags at your assessment. If something sits outside my scope, I tell you and point you the right way, whether that is your GP, imaging, or a sports medicine consultation. You always leave knowing the next step, even when that step is not with me.
Do you only work with gym-goers?
No. I’m a lifter myself, so gym-goers tend to click with me, but I work with runners, athletes, and anyone getting back into training after an injury, or wanting to stay ahead of one.
Can I claim on private health insurance?
Possibly. As a member of the Society of Sports Therapists, some private health insurers cover treatment with an SST-registered therapist, though it depends on your policy. Check directly with your provider, and I’ll give you whatever paperwork they need.
I’m not near Castleford. Can you still help?
Often, yes. Online rehab coaching is delivered worldwide through the app, personalised and progressed every week around how you respond. It depends on your injury though, so you apply first and I let you know if it’s something I can help with online.
What happens in the first session?
A full assessment. History, movement, strength and the relevant tests, so we know what’s actually driving the problem before building a plan.
How many sessions will I need?
If you want a diagnosis and a sheet of exercises, a physio is fine. I work differently. I take over your whole training week so rehab and training are one plan, and I keep you training the whole way through rather than signing you off after a few visits. It is coaching, not appointments.
What if it does not work?
I will not promise an outcome I cannot guarantee, because nobody honest can. What I promise is the process: a proper assessment, a plan built around you, weekly reviews, and honest changes when something is not working. If it is not moving, we change it. If it is outside my scope, I tell you and point you the right way.
What if you are not available?
You are coached through the app, so your programme, demos and messaging are there whenever you need them, not just in a session. If you are away or unwell, let me know and we work around it. Coaching clients can arrange to bank a session rather than lose it.
How long until I feel better?
It depends on the injury and how you respond, and I’ll give you a straight answer at assessment. No inflated promises.
Ready to start
Stop managing it. Start building past it.
You don't have to choose between training and recovering. Let's build a plan around both.
