When you slap ice on pain, you’re slowing the very processes your body uses to heal:
🧠 Nerves lose signal clarity
💪 Muscles lose nutrient delivery
💨 Circulation drops
⚡ And your system stops learning how to move and adapt properly

Pain is feedback — not something to silence.
Instead of shutting it down, help the body process it: restore movement, improve blood flow, and retrain the system to feel safe again.

Another great workout towards my goals of high level ice hockey.
Amazing facilities to train the way I do
And thanks for .sauce_ for putting me through that session 🤮 Dawson’s current program for me has now been adopted by the OHLs off ice conditioning.

“Working on my reaction time ⚡️
It’s not just about being fast — it’s about reacting with control.
Speed means nothing without coordination and accuracy.
Those split-second, precise reactions are what separate good athletes from great ones.”

Not your average pt session when you pull out so smelling salts from .co.uk _ came to me still dealing with pain just lifting an empty bar and fearful to push his rugby career — years after AC joint and collarbone surgery. Every press hurt. Every session reminded him of what he used to be able to do.

Fast forward to now — he’s pressing 20kg dumbbells for sets of 10, pain-free, strong, and confident again.

This wasn’t luck.
It was consistency. Patience. Relentless effort.
We rebuilt the foundation — mobility, scap control, strength through range — and layered it piece by piece until the shoulder could perform again.

Super proud of the work this man’s put in.
That’s what proper rehab looks like — not avoiding movement, but earning it back. 💪🔥

Telling someone to “just rest” isn’t a treatment plan.
It’s a pause button.
And when you press play again… the same pain comes back.

Instead of resting, you need to find the weakness, the imbalance, or the movement pattern that caused it in the first place.
Then start rebuilding it.
Bit by bit.
Stronger. More stable. More resilient.

So no, I won’t tell you to rest.
I’ll find what’s not doing its job and fix it — so you can keep moving, training, and improving without fear of it coming back.

Achey upper back?
Try this if you’re glued to a desk all day 👇

When you sit for hours, your shoulder blades get stuck, your rib cage stiffens up, and everything starts to feel tight and compressed.
That’s why your upper back feels like it’s carrying a backpack of bricks.

We’re going to open up the rib cage, get the shoulder blades moving again, and bring some space and freedom back into your upper back.

You don’t need fancy equipment — just a few smart movements that reset your posture, free up your breathing, and instantly make you feel lighter.

Hard to swallow pills 💊
Half my job isn’t just fixing pain —
it’s unlearning all the bad advice people have been fed.

❌ “Just rest it.”
❌ “Your hips are out of alignment.”
❌ “It’s just your age.”

The truth?
Most of what’s holding people back isn’t their injury — it’s the nonsense they’ve been told about it.

If you’re stuck, it’s not because your body’s broken.
It’s because the information you’ve been given is.

Thursday Rant 💥
We’re living in an age of quick fixes and band-aid solutions.

Whatever the issue is with runners— the go-to answer seems to be orthotics, inserts, or the latest gadget that promises to “fix” your pain.

But here’s the truth 👇
If you’re a runner with hip, knee, or foot pain… the problem usually isn’t your shoe.
It’s how you move.
How your hips load.
How your foot interacts with the ground.
And how your system transfers force through every step.

Instead of slapping on another temporary fix, let’s start asking better questions:
💭 How can we get this person to shift into their hip better?
💭 How can we build real strength through the chain?
💭 How can we make their system more resilient — not just patched up?

Because performance and injury prevention aren’t about supporting weakness.
They’re about building capacity.

I hear this all the time…
‘I’m just getting old… I don’t bounce back like I used to…’

But here’s the truth:
It’s not age — it’s inconsistency.

❌ Inconsistent training
❌ Poor nutrition habits
❌ Resting injuries instead of rehabbing them properly

Life gets busy, priorities shift — and your body adapts… but not in a good way. Years of neglect catch up. Then one day you decide to “get back into it” — but with no real plan, no rehab, no nutritional strategy.

And your body breaks down.

The truth?
You didn’t respect your body for years… and now it’s not respecting you back.

✅ If you want real change, you need a professional who knows how to rebuild you from the ground up.

Not just training.
Not just massage.
A full system that targets pain, fixes compensation, and gets your body working like it should.

🔧 This is what I do. This is why my clients win.
Let’s fix it properly — so you don’t have to “just accept it” anymore.
