Ever feel like you’re doing everything right… but still running on empty?

That’s fatigue but not the kind you see.

Most people only notice the obvious stuff: tired, slow, sloppy technique.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Under the surface is where the real fatigue hides:

🧠 Brain fatigue: slower reactions, hard to focus, decisions feel heavy.
💪 Muscle fatigue: less power, poor coordination, things just don’t click.
🔋 Motivation fatigue: you feel flat, can’t be bothered, drive’s gone.

This is why recovery isn’t just about “taking a day off.”
It’s about recharging all these systems so your brain, body, and motivation sync again.

Athletes don’t break down because they train too hard.
They break down because they recover too little.

I can help you spot the hidden fatigue that’s slowing you down. So you can rebuild smarter, not just push harder.

Because when you recover right, performance isn’t forced… it flows.

From Meniscal Tear to Ridum Ultra Finisher 🚀

I firmly believe performance starts with purpose and recovery is about more than just getting back; it’s about coming back stronger.

When first came in, the goal wasn’t just to fix her knee, it was to rebuild confidence, movement, and trust in her body.

Through consistent work, we rebuilt strength, improved knee extension and flexion, and redefined what “ready” really means.

Fast forward to the Ridum Ultra…
50km, 4,711 ft of elevation, a new PR, and a huge medal moment🏅

This is what happens when the right rehab meets relentless determination.

Proof that with the right plan, anything’s possible.
No matter where you’re starting from.

If you’re ready to overcome injury and perform at your best; in training, sport, or life

There are 66 days left in the year.

Coincidentally, that’s how long it takes for a new habit to stick.

For consistency to become your new normal.

In rehab, progress doesn’t come from motivation. It comes from momentum, showing up, moving well, and stacking small wins until they compound into strength.

So what if you used these next 66 days not to wait for change…
but to build it?

Imagine starting the new year already feeling stronger, moving better, and living pain-free because you committed to showing up now.

You don’t rebuild strength to lift weights.
You rebuild it to lift your life.

The best time to start? 66 days before everyone else.

DM “66 Days” and let’s create your plan to make recovery your new normal.

If I could go back and talk to my younger self, I wouldn’t tell him to do more

I’d tell him to slow down and listen.

Back then it was all about proving something

Lifting more, working harder, pushing through pain.
Now, it’s about understanding why I’m doing what I do.

Pain isn’t the enemy, it’s feedback.
Injury isn’t failure, it’s a chance to adapt.

And coaching?

It’s not about fixing people

it’s about helping them find their own way forward.

At 31, it’s less about chasing performance and more about building purpose.

The little things done well, consistently, will always beat the big efforts done once.

So to my younger self:

Keep showing up.

Keep learning.

And remember, you don’t need to prove yourself, you just need to know yourself.

Imagine signing up for three big races… then tearing your hamstring before the first one.

When Matt came to one of our running workshops, he couldn’t even take part.

A grade 2 hamstring tear had put him on the sidelines. With three big races ahead, he was gutted!

We built a plan that actually worked for him.

1:1 sessions, a structured home plan, and the right progressions at the right time. Step by step, he rebuilt his strength and confidence.

Fast forward a few months and he’s smashed the London Half, Castle to Castle, and Cardiff Half.

ALL PAIN-FREE!

This is why we do what we do.

Because quality rehab shouldn’t only be for the few who can afford elite care.

Everyone deserves the right guidance to come back stronger and perform at their best.

If you’re ready to get back to running, properly, DM ‘marathon’ to start your rehab journey.

Why do we rehab the shoulder this way?

Because pain isn’t the problem, it’s the signal.

In this session, we’re working through a strategic shoulder rehab progression:
🔹 Restoring internal rotation range and thoracic mobility
🔹 Rebuilding anterior cuff control
🔹 Integrating movement patterns for real-world strength

Every drill here has a purpose from mobility to control and load

Bridging the gap between rehab and performance.

If you’re struggling with shoulder pain or feel “stuck” in your training, there’s a better way forward.

Drop “SHOULDER” in the comments if you’re working through shoulder pain, I’ll send you some free tips to get started.

Cardiff Half in the bag 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Great to get moving in the capital and dial things in before Valencia.

3 weeks out and feeling ready to go again.

Why I do what I do 👇

I know what it’s like to have dreams cut short by injury. To miss the big moments. To feel stuck.

But that setback lit a fire. It gave me a new purpose: helping others get back stronger.

📚 I went all in at Cardiff Met, studying rehab, strength & conditioning, and performance. 🏉 Swapped playing for coaching, leading teams to become the fittest in Wales. 🔬 Kept learning, earned another Master’s, worked with elite athletes, published research. 🏥 Saw the NHS up close, amazing teams, but real limits on what rehab could be. 🌍 Took rehab into the community, projects that still support hundreds today.

That’s when I realised: people needed more.

So I built The Rehab Space. A place to bridge the gap, to bring the best of rehab and performance together.

Now, I lead rehab for the MOD. Shaping the future of how we recover, rebuild, and return stronger.

Every setback. Every lesson. Every win. 
I bring it all back here, to help you overcome injury and perform at your best.

That’s my why. What’s yours?  💬 DM me if you’re ready to take the first step back to your best.  🔖 Save this post for the reminder, you can always come back stronger.

Why rehab feels hard (but is so worth it)

The goal is simple: help you move better, feel stronger, and get back to living life without pain. That’s the why behind every session.

But let’s be real, rehab isn’t always smooth. Progress can feel slow, motivation dips, and life has a way of throwing curveballs.

Here’s the thing though: every single session counts. Every rep, every exercise, every time you show up, you’re building the foundation for the stronger, pain-free version of you.

Stick with it. Your future self will thank you for not giving up.

And if you’re finding it tough right now, that’s normal. Drop me a message, I’ve got your back, and we’ll get through it one step at a time.
