I’ve had pain for years… I feel stuck… nothing works… what’s the point?”

If this sounds like you — you’re not alone.
Long-term pain doesn’t mean you’re stuck forever.

In many cases, it simply means your system has become over-protective, on high alert, and more sensitive than it needs to be.
And the good news?
It can calm down.

It often comes down to:
✨ Small, steady changes
✨ Realistic steps that fit your life
✨ Rebuilding confidence in your body
✨ Consistency — not perfection

You don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

Message me “INFO” and I’ll send you details on how I can help you break the cycle and start feeling more in control again.

If nothing changes… nothing changes.
Let’s get you moving forward again. 💬✨

Why Your Body Hurts More During the festive period We discuss why pain and body stiffness can feel more intense during the holiday season, exploring how stress, disrupted routines, and an overactive nervous system contribute to increased physical discomfort. We emphasize the importance of being kind to yourself and taking small, gentle self-care steps. If you need more help or advice send me the word “INFO” to find out more

Chasing quick fixes?
Massage… manipulation… acupuncture…
They can feel good — but they don’t fix the reason your pain keeps coming back.

Most people get temporary relief, then end up back at square one.
Not because you’re doing anything wrong…
but because the deeper stuff hasn’t been looked at yet.

Here’s what I do differently 👇

✨ I listen to your full story
✨ What’s going on in your life right now
✨ Sleep, stress, fear, beliefs, habits
✨ Your day-to-day routine and your goals

I saw someone yesterday who was literally holding his breath and tensing up every time he moved.
Not his fault — it was completely unconscious.
But it was feeding his pain.
This is the stuff that gets missed when you’re only getting quick fixes.

Instead, we build a simple plan together:
Not generic exercises…
Just 1–2 targeted, person-centred steps that actually fit your life and move you forward.

Because long-term pain needs long-term thinking.
Steady progress → real change.

What quick fix have you tried that didn’t work?

If you’re tired of short-term relief and want a different approach,
message me the word “INFO” and I’ll talk you through how I help people get unstuck.

Weekly Round-Up 🤍

A busy but really rewarding week…

☕️ Started strong with a Costa coffee to fuel a packed diary.
👩‍⚕️ Saw lots of patients with a real mix of conditions — honestly my favourite part of the job.
🌳 Took a country walk mid-week for some fresh air and headspace.
💆‍♀️ Treated myself to a spa day to reset and recharge.
🥗 Kept things balanced with a healthy lunch (trying to practise what I preach!).
🏋️‍♂️ Snuck in a late-night gym session — perks of going when it’s totally empty because my days are full of patients.
🎤 Ran the final free Back Pain Workshop of 2025 — they’re always so engaging and genuinely fun to deliver.

If you’d like to join one of the workshops in 2026, just drop me a message and I’ll send you the details.

And now… finishing the week on the sofa, relaxing with family. Perfect ending. 🤍

“‘I’ll wait and see if it gets better on its own…’
The most common thing I hear at this time of year.

But the truth is: pain rarely improves because we waited.
It improves when we understand what’s driving it and take a few simple, doable steps to help the body move better.

And those steps don’t have to be intense or time-consuming.
They definitely don’t need to wait until January.

If you’re unsure what’s going on with your pain, message me with what hurts and how long it’s been happening - I’ll point you in the right direction.”

“You don’t look like you’re in pain”
‘Why are you always moaning?’

A patient told me this recently… and it made me think..
She’s learned to stay quiet because she feels like a burden. She pushes through, keeps going, and carries the weight on her own.

But pain isn’t always visible.
You don’t have to look a certain way to be struggling.
And you never need to apologise for how you feel.

If you’re tired of not being believed or listened to… I’m here.
Your pain is real. Your voice matters. And you deserve support that actually helps you move forward again.”* get in touch today and let’s get symptoms more manageable for 2026!

**“Don’t wait until 2026 to sort your pain.
This time of year often makes aches and stiffness worse — more stress, more rushing around, and less time for yourself.

Getting checked now means you can ease things before Christmas, move better, and actually enjoy the festive period without worrying about flare-ups.

If you’ve been putting it off, this is your sign to start. Your future self will be glad you did.”** Message me the word “READY” to get started!

Hi, As we move into the festive season, I wanted to share something personal with you. One of the biggest reasons I started this clinic was because of the growing pressures within the NHS.

If you want to keep lifting your child, carrying the shopping, climbing the stairs…
You have to build strength in the movements your life actually asks from you.

Not random exercises.
Not guesswork.
Training that transfers to real life:

👉 Overhead lifts
👉 Step-ups with load
👉 Loaded carries + deadlifts

Build capacity → reduce flare-ups → feel confident in your body again.

“I just don’t have time for loads of exercises.”

I hear this every single week.
And honestly? You shouldn’t need loads of exercises.

Your rehab should feel realistic and functional things that fit into your actual day, not random movements you don’t understand.

Every exercise I give has a purpose:
You know why you’re doing it, what it helps, and how it links back to the things you want to get better at — walking, stairs, lifting, working, living.

Pain rehab should slot into your life… not take it over.

In this carousel, I break down how I build simple, doable steps that make sense for your life, your schedule, and your goals.

If you want a plan that feels achievable (not overwhelming), message me “INFO” and let’s get started.
