This isn’t just a story about an injury. This is a testament to what hard work and a strategic plan can achieve.

Jack came to us with a serious ATFL injury and an avulsion fracture in his ankle. But once he was off crutches, we got to work, rebuilding his body from the ground up. We went
beyond just the ankle to address his hips and added plyometric work to restore his power.

He put in the work, and the result speaks for itself: he’s not just back running pain-free, he’s smashing his old records.

This is Jasmine. She loves running, but a sudden spike in training volume and intensity left her with painful patellitendinopathy (runner’s knee)

It got to the point where she felt pain every time she ran, forcing her to stop. The temptation is often to just rest or only focus on the sore bit. But the pain is just the symptom, not the root cause.

So, we stripped her training right back. To fix the knee, we had to rebuild her foundation and look at the entire chain.
We focused on strengthening her hips, glutes, and calves, and improved how her whole body moves and absorbs force

The exercises in this carousel (like RDLs, calf raises, and bridges) were key parts of the plan, but we didn’t stop there. We looked at the bigger picture: her running mechanics, her
training load, and her movement patterns.

The result? A stronger, more resilient runner who is back doing what she loves. If you’re a runner struggling with knee pain, stop just blaming your knee.

Comment “KNEE” below, and I’ll send you my FREE Knee Guide to help you get started.

That ni**le isn’t mental toughness. It’s a warning.

In running culture, “pushing through pain” is worn like a badge of honour. Athletes think ignoring a ni**le makes them tough, but all they’re really doing is ignoring their body’s early warning system. They’re choosing a direct route to a serious, long-term injury.

Our philosophy is that the toughest athletes are the smartest ones. True resilience isn’t about ignoring signals; it’s about having the wisdom to listen and adapt. Elite runners don’t just push through; they manage load, monitor readiness, and prioritise consistency over one heroic, painful run.

When I work with a runner, we immediately reframe this conversation. Instead of “can I push through this?”, we ask “what is this ni**le telling me?”.

I teach my clients how to interpret their body’s feedback so they can build a genuinely robust foundation, adapting their training to prevent injury before it happens. You become the pilot of your own body, not just a passenger waiting for a crash.

💬 Ready to stop the push-break-rehab cycle? DM me “NIGGLE” and we can chat about building a smarter, more resilient you.

You can put in all the work in the world, but if your training lacks structure, you’ll always be one step away from a ni**le or an injury. Matt came to us with chronic ankle pain, and we didn’t just look at the ankle. We looked at the whole system.

We believe that every part of your training should have a purpose. From the glute isometrics to the loaded eccentrics, every exercise was a strategic step towards getting him back on the road, pain-free. This is just one of the hundreds of results we get with our in-person clients—and the same proven principles we use in the clinic are what we apply for our online coaching too.

It’s about empowering you to train with confidence and finally unlock your true potential.

If you’re ready to stop training aimlessly and finally build a plan with purpose, whether it’s in-person at our Manchester clinic or through our online coaching program, DM me the word STRUCTURE to learn how we can help.

Stop attacking your IT Band. It’s not the problem‼️

Most runners are told to hammer their IT band with a foam roller, believing they can “release” or “lengthen” it. This searing pain is seen as a necessary evil for progress. The truth? You’re just irritating an already overloaded tissue and completely missing the root cause.

At Proflex, we know ITB pain is an alarm bell, not the fire. It’s a symptom of a “hip problem” — usually weakness and poor control from the muscles that stabilise your pelvis. Chasing the pain with a roller is a distraction from building a real solution.

So, when I work with my clients whether online or those who come through the doors, we put the foam roller away. The first thing we do is identify the specific weakness in your hips, and then we get to work loading and strengthening it. We build resilience from the ground up, because a truly bulletproof body is built, not just rolled.

💬 Tired of fighting a battle you can’t win against your IT band? DM me “ITB” and let’s talk about what building real strength looks like.

That constant “tight” feeling in your hamstrings that you’ve been stretching for years? It has almost nothing to do with flexibility.

It’s a protective response. You’re feeling your nervous system slam on the brakes because it fundamentally doesn’t trust your hamstrings to be strong and stable when they’re lengthened. Chasing it with more static stretching is like screaming at a car alarm instead of finding out why it’s going off.

For the clients who walk through my doors, this is one of the most common and frustrating issues I see. Athletes are stuck in a cycle of stretch-run-tighten-repeat, getting absolutely nowhere because they’re treating the symptom, not the root cause.
This is why my approach with clients is the complete opposite.

We immediately ditch the endless passive stretching. Instead, we teach the hamstring that it’s safe to be both long AND strong. We load it intelligently, build its capacity to absorb force, and prove to the nervous system that it can finally, finally take the brakes off for good.

💬 Recognise this cycle? If you’re done stretching and ready to build a real solution, DM me “HAMSTRING” and let’s talk about what that looks like.

That ‘random’ twist wasn’t random at all. 🤦‍♂️

We’ve all been there. “My knee just gave out for no reason!” “I just woke up with this pain!” But as a physio, I’m here to tell you: your body doesn’t just spontaneously combust.

Injuries are caused, not caught. They’re often the final straw that exposes a lack of resilience or a weak foundation.

Let’s stop pretending our bodies are unpredictable. If you’re building a house on sand, eventually it’s going to crumble. Your running body is no different.

Ready to stop gambling with your body and build a truly bulletproof foundation? DM me ‘INSIDER’ to get on the list for my new online coaching program.

When you’re meticulously tracking every running metric... except the one that actually matters for performance and injury prevention. 😬

Hands up if this is you! 🙋‍♂️ We get so caught up in pace, mileage, and all the fancy GPS watch data, that we completely overlook the #1 pillar of recovery: SLEEP.

As your physio-coach, I’ve seen countless runners pushing their limits with epic training plans, only to be constantly battling fatigue, tightness, and ni**les because their foundations of sleep are non-existent.

Running hard on 5-6 hours a night isn’t building a bulletproof runner; it’s actively making you fragile and setting you up for injury. Your body heals, adapts, and builds resilience while you sleep. Neglect it, and you’re leaving performance on the table and opening the door to pain.

It’s time to make sleep your secret weapon.
💬 What’s the wildest thing you’ve sacrificed sleep for (that you now regret)? Share below! And if you’re ready to make sleep a priority for performance, DM me “SLEEP HACKS.”
