Pain education reshapes brain circuits to reduce fear and improve function πŸ§ πŸ’‘

Understanding pain changes how we respond to it
Progress isn’t just about movement or exercise it’s about rewiring beliefs and reducing fear around pain
When we learn how pain works, the nervous system calms, movement becomes easier, and confidence grows
Ignoring pain education can keep us stuck in cycles of avoidance and limitation

πŸ‘‰ Knowledge reduces fear and anxiety
πŸ‘‰ Education empowers better movement choices
πŸ‘‰ Understanding pain builds long-term resilience and function
Train smart, move with confidence, and let pain education guide your recovery

Elbow Rehab – Advanced Stage πŸ’₯

Recovering from an elbow injury or chronic pain?
It’s time to move from strong and stable to unstoppable, ready for heavy lifting, pushing, and high-demand movements.

This phase focuses on building maximal strength, control, and resilience so your elbow can handle training, sport, and daily life without limitation.

These advanced elbow rehab exercises focus on:
βœ… Maximal forearm, triceps, biceps, and wrist stabiliser strength
βœ… Dynamic control through full range under load
βœ… Preparing your elbow for lifting, pressing, gripping, and functional performance

Taken straight from the Elbow Masterclass, this phase bridges the gap between mid-stage rehab and high-performance movement.

πŸ’₯ Stop holding back.
πŸ’₯ Start rebuilding an elbow that’s strong, resilient, and unstoppable.

The exercise every athlete skips but actually needs.

Let’s break this down. Many athletes focus on the big lifts or high intensity sessions but ignore one key element that keeps them performing at their best. Real recovery and performance depend on progressive loading, movement control, and confidence building for both body and mind.

I worked with a client who was strong and powerful but kept getting small setbacks during training. Once we introduced structured stability and control work into their programme, their performance became smoother, stronger, and pain free.

The takeaway: Strength and speed mean little without control. Structured, personalised rehab bridges that gap and prevents injury.

Action: Add one controlled, slow movement to your next session and focus on quality over load. Notice how it changes your movement and awareness.

If you want a performance plan that builds strength, control, and confidence so you can train harder and stay injury free, I offer personalised rehab and coaching programmes designed around your goals.

Key Factors: Lateral ligament injury, poor proprioception.

Symptoms: Pain and swelling after inversion, recurrent giving way.

Diagnosis: Positive anterior drawer, talar tilt. MRI if severe.

Management: Balance/proprioceptive training, peroneal strengthening. Bracing for return to sport. Evidence: Doherty et al., Br J Sports Med 2016: Exercise rehab prevents recurrence.

Likely Diagnosis: Chronic Ankle Instability.

Chronic ankle instability is a condition where the ankle repeatedly gives way, typically following an ankle sprain that didn't heal properly, leading to ongoing weakness and instability.

If you are struggling with these kind of symptoms, book a free discovery call or trial our Foot & Ankle Masterclass rehab program targeted to improve ankle stability and strength.

🧠 Cognitive behavioural therapy reduces chronic pain intensity by 20–30%.
(Williams et al., 2012, Cochrane Review)

Pain isn’t just physical your thoughts and beliefs shape how you feel it.
CBT helps reframe unhelpful patterns, improve coping strategies, and reduce the impact of chronic pain.

βœ… Reduce pain perception
βœ… Improve coping and resilience
βœ… Enhance daily function and quality of life

πŸ’‘ Changing the way you think about pain changes the way you experience it.

This is exactly what I help clients with, from personalised rehab plans to movement retraining and nutrition, so you can manage pain, move confidently, and achieve lasting results.

It’s time to move from strong and stable to bulletproof, ready for heavy lifts, twisting, and high-demand movement.

This phase focuses on building maximal strength, endurance, and control so your back can handle training, sport, and life without fear.

These advanced back rehab exercises focus on:
βœ… Maximal core and spinal stabiliser strength
βœ… Dynamic control through full range under load
βœ… Preparing your back for lifting, twisting, jumping, and high-performance activity

Taken straight from the Back Masterclass, this phase bridges the gap between mid-stage rehab and elite-level performance.

Rehab is training for life πŸ’ͺ
Function must always be the goal 🧠

Rehabilitation is not just about pain relief or isolated exercises

Training for life means preparing your body to handle the demands that matter most to you

πŸ‘‰ Strength supports independence
πŸ‘‰ Function drives long term recovery
πŸ‘‰ Purposeful movement builds resilience that lasts

Rehab is not something you finish, it is something you live
Train your body to move well, not just to feel better

Yesterday in clinic was one of those days that reminds me why I do this.

I started the day with an athlete deep into advanced ACL reconstruction rehab, back into running and finally trusting their knee again. It was threshold VO2 max work with a motivated client who is not interested in just being pain free, they want to push their engine and see what they are capable of.

A shoulder followed, rotator cuff related pain that had been hanging around for months, not weak, not damaged, just needing the right strength and exposure.

Later came a runner with a calf strain after a sudden jump in mileage, frustrated at first, then reassured once we mapped out a smarter return to running.

The gym floor turned into a HYROX prep session, loading under fatigue and building strength that actually transfers to race day.

An online check in came through from a long distance runner dealing with PFJ pain, keen to keep training and finally learning how to manage symptoms rather than stop every time pain appears.

Then my dad walked into clinic with mechanical low back pain, a reminder that pain does not discriminate and everyone needs guidance sometime but also the ability to be straight and honest on the right management.

The day finished with another calf strain, different person, different sport, same lesson around respecting tissue capacity.

Different injuries. Different goals. Same approach.

No matter where you are starting from or what you are working towards, rehab, performance or simply moving better, we have you covered.

If you want clarity, confidence and a plan that makes sense, message me or book in through the link in my bio.
