Still stuck in the same pain cycle? Let’s talk about the 3 mistakes that keep it coming back 👇🏽

1: Chasing short-term fixes. Massage guns, foam rolling, and ice baths can help for a moment - but they don’t solve the root cause. If you keep going back to the same spot to stretch or release, it’s a sign your body is asking for something deeper.

2: Grinding instead of healing. Pain isn’t your body punishing you - it’s communicating. When you ignore recovery, skip sleep, or push through fatigue, your nervous system stays in overdrive. Sometimes the answer isn’t another session - it’s letting your body rest and reset.

3: Not adapting your training. You don’t have to stop moving when you’re in pain - but you do need to train smarter. Small changes in load, tempo, or exercise selection can make all the difference in reducing flare-ups and rebuilding strength safely.

At Fix It Physio, we don’t just treat what hurts - we help you understand why it hurts and how to stop it from coming back
 We find what’s missing, rebuild it through strength, and help you move with confidence again.

If you’ve tried the massages, the stretches, the foam rollers… and you’re still sore?!
 It’s time for something different.

You’re doing everything right… 

Training hard. Hitting your mobility. Getting in the sauna. Maybe even forcing an ice bath or two.

But if your body still feels flat, heavy, or constantly sore…
 You might not need to do more - you might need to do less.

Here’s the truth 👇 Your muscles don’t grow during your workout - they grow when you rest. Pain doesn’t disappear from “grinding it out” - it fades when your body finally feels safe enough to heal.

Recovery isn’t a reward you earn after hard work. It’s part of the work.

That means: ✅ Getting enough quality sleep ✅ Doing slow, intentional movement instead of maxing out every session ✅ Taking rest days that actually restore energy ✅ Breathing, slowing down, letting your system switch off

At Fix It, we see it every day - the athletes, the overachievers, the “I’ll just push through” people. They’re not lazy. They’re wired. 
But your body doesn’t heal in overdrive - it heals when you finally let it.

So if you’ve been ticking every recovery box but still feel run down, ask yourself: 👉 “Am I grinding… or am I actually healing?”

Work hard, yes. But recover harder.

You don’t need to fix your posture… you need to move more.

We get told all the time:
“I’ve got bad posture - that’s probably why my back hurts.”

Here’s the truth 👇 Posture isn’t a fixed “good or bad” thing. 
Your spine loves movement. It’s designed to bend, twist, slouch, extend… and do all of those things comfortably.

When you stay stuck in one position for too long (even if it’s technically a “good” one), your body starts to complain.
 Not because your posture is wrong, but because it’s been still for too long.

Pain from sitting, driving, or working long hours isn’t about being “wonky” - it’s your body asking for variety.

What really matters is: ✅ How often you move ✅ How strong and adaptable your muscles are ✅ How confident your body feels in different positions

So instead of chasing the “perfect posture,” try this instead:
* Change positions regularly
* Stand, stretch, walk, breathe
* Strength train to build resilience through movement

The strongest people don’t have perfect posture, they just move well, often, and without fear.
At FIX IT, we help you do exactly that. We don’t just “fix posture” - we help you trust your body again so you can move freely and pain-free.

👉 Move more. Stress less. Posture perfect-enough.

When Justine came to see us here at … she was in full panic mode 😅

Justine was midway through her Belfast Marathon training when an old knee injury flared up and she genuinely thought her chances of running pain-free were minimal.

We took a step back and did things a little differently here at FIXIT.

Rather than chasing the symptoms, we focused on finding the root cause of her pain.

Through a thorough assessment and targeted treatment plan, we worked on what was actually driving the issue… not just where it hurt.

Over the space of 6 sessions in 6 weeks, we got it fully resolved 😮‍💨

By race day, Justine was able to run the marathon without any issues at all. 🏃‍♀️

Here’s what she had to say about her experience ⬇️

“Top class service from Chloe who not only calmed me down as I was in full panic mode but got to the root cause of my issue, taking time to explain what I needed to do and had me back running within 3 weeks giving me loads of support and encouragement along the way. I’m super grateful — thanks again Chloe! Highly recommend.”

If you’re training for an event (or just want to move without pain!) and feel stuck, please know it doesn’t have to be that way.

Let’s figure out what’s really going on and get you back doing what you love 💪🏽

Here’s the 3 main reasons we see this happen all the time:

1. You’re only treating the symptom, not the cause.
That tightness or dull ache you feel in the bodies way of compensating for weakness somewhere else. Maybe your glutes aren’t firing, your cores under active or your hips are stiff… so your back? It takes on all the load. Releasing tight muscles helps in the short term but until those weaker areas are strengthened, the pain will keep returning

•••

2. Your daily posture and habits are undoing your progress
How you sit, stand and drive or even sleep affects your spine more than you think. You can have the best physio session in the world but if you’re spending 8+ hours a day hunched at your desk or slouched on the sofa, your body simply reverts to the same patterns that caused the back pain in the first instance! Awareness and small daily corrections make a massive difference

•••

3. You’re skipping the stability and mobility work your spine actually needs
A strong back isn’t built from stretching alone - it needs control… core stability, hip mobility and proper movement mechanics are what keep your spine supported and pain-free long term. Without these; the same issues will flare up again and again

•••

At Fix It Physiotherapy? We don’t just chase symptoms; we help you understand why your pain keeps coming back and build a personalised plan to fix it for good

4 Hip Exercises that we LOVE here in the clinic

Bent to straight knee with lateral hip:

Start off by floating your heel, kick the back leg behind and across the body as seen in the video, you want this to be more like a hinge rather than squat. Here you should feel a big stretch on the outside of hip of the standing leg. Slowly push through the midfoot and drive the knee up towards chest and lift off the heel - feel the glute shorten! Repeat, this for example 3 sets of 8-10 reps

Hip lock:

Place your feet firmly against the wall, hitch the pelvis up and slowly scoop round to the side and then step the foot infront like a forward lunge. And return. Make sure to not let the body lean too far to the side

Hip airplane:

Place your hands up against the wall, slight bend of the left knee and keep midfoot pressure, extend the right leg back and then rotate the pelvis round and back. Can be a nice cue to think you are bringing the trouser zipper to 2 o’clock then back around to 10 o’clock

90 90 Knee rolls:

90 90 position, lying on the floor with knees bent to 90 degrees with feet on the wall. Place a foam roller between your knees, it is good to have a foam roller so you can visually see the movement. exhale tuck the bottom ribs in engage the core, tuck the pelvis and feel the lower back flatten on the floor, lift one knee up towards the ceiling. Make sure heels don’t lift off the wall- dig the heels down the wall (should feel the hamstrings). You may find one side harder than the other, if so, stick in this spot and work there. Also make sure that the pelvis stays in the same position don’t let it rock side to side
