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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Fee credited toward any program you start afterwards.
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.
Ermington and surrounding suburbs. NDIS participants welcome.
Get in touch
Request an online consultation
Call, email, or send the form. Tell me what is going on and I will get back to you shortly with a time for your online consultation — held over video, so you can be anywhere.
Replies usually the same day, and always within one business day.
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.
