Do you? Really?

Most people confused mobility and flexibility, believing that they are essentially the same thing.

They’re not!

Flexibility is about muscle length. But you can still be flexible and lack stability and control.

Mobility is about control. How far, how well and how actively can you move a joint through its full range with strength and coordination and be safe.

Which is why when most people talk about needing to be more flexible, I talk about needing more mobility.

Because long muscles don’t necessarily mean healthy, stable joint range.

And if you can establish more joint range, quite often that gives you the ‘flexibility’ you thought you lacked.

It isn’t about doing one or the other to an extreme.

It’s about intelligent and strategic input that’s appropriate for you.

Not just stretching more because that’s what everyone says.

Why I’ll always keep using ‘manual’ therapy…

The industry has shifted. Mainstream physio, osteopathy and chiropractic have moved firmly away from touch therapies and heavily towards the evidence based protocols of pain education and exposure and tolerance.

And I am ALL for that…pain education is the foundation of my work and is behind, without doubt, my incredible success rates. I deliver it in the right way. In a way that works for the humans who are at the centre of the pain experience.

But that’s the thing…

We are humans and pain is an experience that is complex, nuanced and woven into someone’s emotional core.

And sometimes we need touch.

Sometimes we need an external stimulus to get out of our internal dialogue.

I know this as much as anyone…

I suffer from pain around my scar side after my spinal surgery…

And I practice what I preach in terms of managing it. I understand it’s triggers.

But there’s no doubt that I also feel a difference, a benefit, of having treatment. Placebo or not…the experience is tangibly different and it gives me respite. A window of opportunity.

And that to me is worth huge amounts.

The one absolute consistently with EVERY patient I’ve ever had who has TMJ…

Is that they ALL have problems with managing stress.

In this case, despite many other treatments from other practitioners, this was the one thing that was never talked about.

And it was the ONE thing that made the difference.

Yes we did the treatment…

But we also identified pretty quickly that there were other factors at play which were the missing link between success and failure!

Have you ever suffered from TMJ?

Complex chronic pain isn’t “in your head” — it’s in your whole system.

When pain has lasted more than 3 months, research shows it often stops being a tissue-damage problem and becomes a nervous system and brain-processing problem.

Studies from leading pain neuroscientists (Moseley, Vlaeyen, Apkarian) show that the brain can stay stuck in protection mode long after an injury has healed.

That means:
• Your pain is real, even when scans look “normal.”
• Your system has learned to protect you so well that it has become overprotective.
• Stress, trauma, perfectionism, burnout, fear, and past injuries can all amplify the alarm system.

And this is why so many people feel unheard: traditional models focus on the body, but complex chronic pain is a biopsychosocial loop — brain, body, story, and environment all interacting.

Healing begins when you understand the pattern, settle the nervous system, and teach your brain that you’re safe again.

This work is evidence-based, deeply human, and absolutely transformative.

You’re not broken. Your system is brilliant — it just needs better instructions.

If you want to learn more about how and what to instruct and how better to support yourself, then comment “complex” below and let’s chat!

One of the main aims I have when working with anyone, whether it’s recovery from injury or complex chronic pain, is to re-frame the experience to one of ‘how has this happened FOR them rather than to them?’

Opportunity for growth, resilience and confidence can be found in the most unexpected of places!

It’s been a big day for me today…

Not in a big, bold, make a song and dance fan fare kind of way…

But in an internal, calm, shifting kind of a way

The kind that just calmly reassures and settles

To know that they are happy, that it’s going to take time, even 2 years time, for my brain to settle and calibrate

That the feelings I have had have been what I’ve perceived them to be…non-threatening, sensitised, communicative

You see, I KNOW all of this, of course I do. And I have the honour of speaking and helping people about this all the time

But I’m still a human who’s faced my mortality and been frightened by it and that fear still lingers.

So I take myself through the same processes I teach everyone else, just as I did even when I was sick and having to manage the symptoms, because I know it works!

This is a slightly unusual post but given the regularity of it and what’s been happening in mainstream media of late, I think it’s worth talking about.

Has anyone had direct experience of this? Has anyone had amazing, positive and supportive experiences of it?

I am feeling SO expansive right now

I have SO much passion, so much motivation

I feel SO full of gratitude and commitment to my cause

I’ve also felt tired

I’ve had headaches

I’ve struggled with nerve pain around my scar

My neck has been in spasm

And yes, there were fleeting moments where somewhere in my subconscious

That panic alarm sounds…

“Oh god…what if I have another CSF leak?”
“What if the patch has failed?”
“Has the metalwork moved?”

Now…I’m human, I’m still frightened by this life changing experience I had

But the difference I CHOOSE to make over how I’ve previously reacted

Is from this place of expansion and gratitude, gently exploring what I’m supposed to learn about my needs, my state, my life.

So rather than panic, I’m patient. Rather than react, I reassure.

And this changes EVERYTHING about the potential trajectory that my pain to fatigue may take me.

That means I’m taking ownership over how I feel and what I do!

I steer the ship.

An interesting one today…

When you spot something, ask a simple question, get an honest answer and realise that there’s some clues as to why they feel what they feel…

For example, woefully under-eating, being in a long term massive calorie deficit will not help your body to recover from injury, illness or stress because any calories you do get are swept up by the processes or simply staying alive and the tank is empty by the time the damaged cells and structures get a look in.

Being exhausted by this, depleted by this, can then amplify the pain experience because the body has to shout even louder to get attention.

So consider all of the ways you can and need to support yourself to heal.

Here we go again…

This one was BAD…

This one was delivered to an individual who suffers from health anxiety…

So can you IMAGINE the damage it did?

He was crying as he told me this…

Absolutely distraught because he believes, even now, that his body is ‘wrong’ and that everything he’s done has been wrong and damaging because now he was one shoulder than the other?

How can he do rehab to fix that? How can he trust himself to do the exercises properly when clearly his body just wants to do it all wrong?

This absolutely broke my heart and makes me SO angry!

We have to build confidence…

Not destroy trust!

One of the most important things you can do for your own development, healing, happiness…

Is to take responsibility for who you put yourself around, the environment that feeds you.

I make choices to be around people who reflect the values I have on seeing, hearing and holding space for people to find the answers from within themselves…

I have chosen well in working with as my mentor and guide not just in business, but more importantly in building the identity and confidence of me as the woman who knows that she can change lives.

Feeling grateful, feeling crystal clear and feeling highly motivated to bring something REALLY special!
