How to Listen to Your Body ❤️

Sometimes your body whispers before it starts to shout 👀

Listening to your body doesn’t mean stopping at the first sign of discomfort- it means learning to understand what it’s telling you.

There’s a difference between:
💭 “I’m sore from training”
and
🚨 “Something doesn’t feel right”

Here’s a few signs your body might be asking for a bit extra care:
- That niggle that doesn’t ease after warming up
- Fatigue that hits earlier than usual
- Muscles that always feel “tight” no matter how much you stretch
- Or simply feeling off your normal rhythm

Listening to your body isn’t weakness- it’s awareness.

Learning the difference between pushing through and pulling back is where real progress happens 💪🏼

“What does pain actually mean?”

Pain doesn’t always mean something is damaged.

So often, people come into clinic worried because they’re feeling pain- but pain is the body’s alarm system, not always a sign of injury. It’s how your brain tells you something needs attention, even if the tissue itself is okay.

🧠 sometimes pain = protection
When your body senses something isn’t moving right, is overloaded, or feels “unsafe”, it can create pain to make you stop or change how you move.

💡 For example:
- you’ve been sitting at a desk all day ➡️ your neck aches (not because it’s injured- it’s just tired and stiff)
- you return to the gym too soon ➡️ your knee flares up (not because you’ve “ruined it”- your load tolerance just needs rebuilding)

Pain is information- not an instruction to stop forever.

That’s why combining rehab, movement, and hands-on therapy is so important- to calm the body’s alarm system and build it back stronger.

So if you’ve been avoiding activity because of pain. Let’s figure out why it’s there… and what it’s really telling you 💪🏼

✨ Message me to book your assessment and start understanding your pain, not just masking it.

🚨 Hyrox season is here, which means one thing… LOTS of running, rowing, sleds, and wall balls packed into training blocks.

But with the buzz of competition, there’s one thing that often sneaks up on athletes: TENDON INJURIES.

Why?

👉🏼 Tendons don’t like sudden spikes in load
👉🏼 Hyrox training usually involves a big increase in volume (think miles on the treadmill + endless lunges)
👉🏼 Overuse & poor recovery = the perfect storm for pain

The tricky part?

Tendons are stubborn. You might feel fine during training, but discomfort creeps in the next morning… and it doesn’t magically disappear with a rest day or two.

The good news:
✅ Tendons LOVE consistent, controlled loading
✅ Strengthening and pacing your training is key
✅ Think of your tendons like your mate who hates surprises- they just want to know what’s coming next

So as you ramp up for Hyrox, listen to your body, manage your load, and don’t ignore those niggles. This is exactly where my clinic support comes in- from hands-on treatments to tailored rehab plans that keep you strong all the way to race day 💪🏼

💬 Who’s training for a Hyrox right now? Drop me a comment- I’d love to hear what event your tackling!

💡 Ever wondered what those colourful tape patterns are?

This is oedema taping- a technique using Kineosiology Tape designed to reduce swelling fluid build-up after injury or surgery.

The tape is applied in a specific pattern that gently lifts the skin. This creates space underneath, encouraging fluid to drain through the lymphatic system and easing pressure on the tissues.

➡️ It’s especially useful for:
- Post injury swelling
- Recovery from surgery
- Bruising and inflammation
- Improving comfort & mobility

It’s a simple but effective tool to support recovery- and it works alongside hands-on treatment and rehab.

Have you ever tried K-tape before?

✨ And just like that I am entering my second and final year of my Physiotherapy Masters journey- all while continuing to grow in clinic ✨

It’s been a challenging but rewarding path so far, and I can’t wait to bring even more knowledge and skills back into clinic to help my lovely clients 💆🏼‍♀️🫶🏼

Here’s to the final push 🙌🏼

✨ Second Placement Done! ✨
This one was definitely out of my comfort zone- surgery and ICU 🏥

It was tough at times but such an incredible opportunity. Being in a completely different environment showed me just how important physiotherapy is in recovery, whether that’s helping someone breathe easier after surgery or supporting patients through their first steps in intensive care.

I’ve taken so much away from this placement- not just clinical skills, but resilience, perspective, and confidence. It’s experiences like this that are shaping me into the physio I’m working so hard to become 💪🏼

Now onto the next 🫶🏼
