Struggling with recurring knee pain?

A common pattern we see with chronic knee pain is a cycle of avoidance. The knee becomes sensitive to bending and loading, so movement is reduced or avoided altogether. Over time, this reinforces pain and limits function rather than resolving it.

Instead of avoiding movement, the goal is to gradually expose the nervous system to bending and load in a controlled and tolerable way. This helps rebuild confidence, improve load tolerance, and restore normal knee function.

Breaking the cycle of chronic knee pain starts with appropriate, progressive exposure — not complete rest.

Three months post-ACL surgery, she was still walking with a limp. Not because she wasn’t working hard but because her body hadn’t rebuilt the tolerance needed to control each step.

After surgery, strength alone isn’t enough. You need control. You need exposure. And you need to gradually teach the nervous system that load is safe again.

So we’re rebuilding it the right way — step by step.
Improving movement control. Increasing tolerance to load.
Rebuilding quad strength so walking becomes automatic, not something to fear.

If you’re post-ACL surgery and feel stuck in your recovery, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Comment below “ACL” to get my Free ACL recovery guide and start moving forward with confidence. đŸ’Ș

Why walking down stairs feels like a mountain after ACL surgery. đŸ”ïž

It’s rarely the up that people fear, it’s the down.
That slow, controlled lowering is the eccentric phase, where the muscle lengthens under tension, and it’s often the very last piece to return after an ACL injury. Not because the quad can’t produce force but because it takes serious strength and trust to allow it to control your body weight.

In this video, you’re seeing the real work behind recovery with the Poliquin Step ISO. The shaking legs. The pause before committing. That hesitation isn’t weakness, it’s the nervous system relearning safety. After surgery, the brain remembers the injury long after the tissue has healed.

By using precise tactile cues at the hips and chest, we guide the load exactly where it belongs: straight onto the quad. No compensations. No shortcuts. Just controlled exposure to the movement that once felt impossible.

Because rehab isn’t just about rebuilding muscle.
At the Manchester clinic, we rebuild confidence step by step so moving without fear becomes normal again.

If you’re post-surgery and want to rebuild strength and confidence, DM me “START” and let’s begin your journey back to fearless movement. đŸ’Ș

Soleus Calf Raises

This is why cues are important. A simple change in cue increased the challenge of the exercise, which in turn increased the mechanical demand on the soleus and created more opportunity for adaptation.

The exercise itself didn’t change — only how it was performed. Improved cues led to better positioning, more effective loading, and a more appropriate stimulus for the intended tissue.

This is why using the right cues and maintaining proper form is beneficial, particularly when the goal is targeted strengthening and long-term tissue adaptation rather than simply completing repetitions.

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.
