Physiotherapist-designed rehab · Sydney & online

Your rehab shouldn't stop when the appointment does.

Eight structured programs for the injuries physiotherapists treat most — built week by week, with graded loading, video guidance and clear targets, so you know exactly what to do between sessions and after they end.

Not sure which program you need?

Four questions. It's the same reasoning I'd use in a first appointment to narrow things down — and it takes about a minute.

QUESTION 1 OF 4 25%

The programs

Eight programs, each built around one injury.

Not a general exercise library. Each one is a specific, progressive plan with defined phases, criteria to move forward, and the reasoning explained as you go.

How it works

From "which one do I need" to week one, in about ten minutes.

STEP 01

Find the right program

Use the 60-second finder, or request a $98 online consultation — a 15-minute video call — if you would rather have me look at it properly first. That fee comes off your program.

STEP 02

Pay once, here

Checkout on this site, with your receipt and program details emailed straight away. You get your login for the training app within a few minutes.

STEP 03

Work through it week by week

Each week unlocks with video for every exercise, sets and loads written out, and a short note on what should be changing. Tick sessions off as you go.

All-access

One membership, every program.

Most people don't have exactly one thing going on — the shoulder settles and the back flares up, or the ankle holds you back from the running you were building toward. All-access lets you move between programs instead of buying each one separately.

One-to-one

Prefer an online consultation first?

A program is the right answer for a lot of problems, but not all of them. If you would rather have me look at it properly first, request an online consultation — a video call, wherever you are in Australia. A home visit is also available across Sydney if you need hands-on assessment.

Online video call · 15 minutes

Online physiotherapy consultation

This is a video call, not an in-person visit. Fifteen minutes to work out what is going on and which program fits — or whether you need hands-on assessment instead. You will get a link by email. Anywhere in Australia.

$98 AUD

Fee credited toward any program you start afterwards.

In person, at your home · 30 minutes

Mobile & emergency home visit

This one is in person. Full hands-on assessment and treatment at your home — useful after surgery, for aged care, or when getting to a clinic is not realistic. Sydney metro only.

$250 AUD

Ermington and surrounding suburbs. NDIS participants welcome.

Request sent. I will get back to you shortly — same day where I can, and always within one business day — with a time for your online consultation, and a video link by email. If it is urgent, call or text 0432 760 464.

Try before you buy

Take week one of any program, free.

The actual first week — same videos, same written plan, no card. If it's not what you expected, you've lost nothing and I'd rather you found out now.

Thanks — I'll send week one to that address shortly.

One email with the program. No list, no drip sequence unless you ask for one.

Who writes these

Dr Samir Khattab

I'm a physiotherapist based in Sydney, and I built Steady Steps because of a gap I kept running into: people would do well in the clinic, then be handed a printout and left to work out the hard part on their own. The part that actually determines the outcome — what to do in week six when it's better but not right, how much load is too much, when to push — is the part nobody gets guidance on.

These programs are what I'd give you if we had unlimited time together. Every week is written out, every exercise is on video with the coaching cues I'd give you in person, and each phase has criteria you need to meet before moving on — so progression is based on how you're actually responding, not the calendar.

Alongside the programs I still see people one-to-one, mostly through home visits across Sydney, including post-surgical rehab and aged care.

Why you won't find patient reviews on this site

Australian law prohibits registered health practitioners from using patient testimonials to advertise clinical services — that includes reviews mentioning a symptom, a treatment or a result. Plenty of health sites carry them anyway. This one won't. Judge the programs on the free first week and on what's plainly set out about how they're built.

Questions

Before you start

Can I claim this on private health insurance?
Self-guided programs generally aren't claimable — health funds rebate consultations with a practitioner, not exercise programs. The one-to-one consults in the Guided tier may be claimable depending on your fund and level of cover, and I'll issue a receipt with my provider number either way. Check with your fund before you buy if the rebate matters to your decision.
What equipment do I need?
A resistance band and a wall for most programs. Some strength phases progress into dumbbells or a gym, and where that's the case there's a home alternative shown alongside it. Nothing needs a specialist machine.
What if I'm partway through and it isn't working?
Message me. In most cases something needs adjusting — the load, the stage, the exercise selection — and that's a quick fix. If a program genuinely isn't the right tool for your problem, I'll tell you that and refund what's left of it.
How is this different from exercises off YouTube?
Sequencing and progression criteria. The individual exercises aren't secret and you could find versions of most of them free. What you can't find is which ones, in what order, at what load, and what has to be true before you move to the next stage — which is what determines whether a tendon settles or gets worse.
Is a program safe without being assessed in person?
For the common presentations these programs are built for, generally yes — they start conservatively and progress on how you respond. But they're not a substitute for individual assessment, and some things need to be seen. If you have unexplained weakness or numbness, pain that wakes you every night, pain after significant trauma, an inability to bear weight, or you feel unwell with it, see a physiotherapist or your GP before starting anything here.
How long do I keep access?
For the length of the program you bought — four weeks on the 4-week programs, sixteen on the 16-week ones. Access starts the day I set you up and runs to the end of the plan. All-access runs for as long as your membership does, which is why it suits anyone who wants to keep training after the rehab is finished.
