(Amy here)

Those that know me, know that I am a lover of logic.

While science is my jam - I'll be honest spellings can bamboozle me. Draught/draft/thought/yacht/got/through/threw/red/read/led/lead -
I'd rip up the dictionary and start again properly, if I had my way.

We just accept the nonsense - that's just the way it's done.
Sigh.
Silly English.

The way we place value on the things we spend money on, also intrigues me.

You've heard the story:
A man had a jammed machine.
He tried with all his might to fix it - literally tried everything... the thing wouldn't budge.
His patience was exhausted.

He employed a mechanic with decades of experience to come and fix it.

He took a good look at the machine, took out his hammer...tap-tap-tap - hazaa it was fixed.

When the mechanic gave the man the bill $10.10 bill, the man said: that much??
You only gave the machine 3 taps.

The mechanic said: It was 10 cents for the tapping - and $10 to know where to tap.

I know I am not the cheapest therapist around.
But you can be sure to be fixed in as few sessions as possible, with me.

It's not good value to see the chiropractor 20 times.
Or waste months of work in pain while you wait for a referral, only to arrive at the end of a long wait to be seen.

I literally know where to tap.

I'll value your time and respect your need to be back on your feet as soon as possible.

I have a list of people waiting, so it makes no sense to keep you coming back if you don't need to.

Allyson was the perfect patient, back doing the group exercise that she loves and free from the pain that was holding her back.

I can do that for you too.

In the meantime - have you downloaded the back care eBook I've written for you - totally free - for a healthy, pain-free back.

Whether or not it's giving you bother now.

I have to warn you - I have a zero-tolerance approach.

Homework is boring.
And I know when you haven't done it.

Usually, there are 101 other things you'd rather do.
I do understand that.

If you are recovering
from injury or illness (or will in the future) -
I want you to think of it as a team sport.

Your Team:
(it may have some or all of these members)

Your surgeon/doctor/consultant
GP
Nurses, nurse specialists
Physios, therapists, rehab specialists (like me)
and

YOU.

Of all the team members - YOU have to do most of the work.
You hold the key to getting better.

Everyone else plays their part;
diagnoses you,
treats you,
cares for you,
teaches you,
shows you what to do...

But ultimately - you have to do the homework.

And do you know what?

Most people don't.

After they are put in the best possible position for recovery,
from all that incredible medical learning and expertise -
people often just throw it all away.

They don't do their rehab exercises.
(And those are what make you better and stay pain-free).

Crazy really.

And yes, we know they are a bit repetitive, and they take a while - but they are the not-so-secret sauce to recovery.
They have been designed for you - and they work.

Your therapist/physio will absolutely know if you haven't done the homework.

Personally, I don't give second chances with this.

My patients will get better if they do what I ask.
If they won't do that - then my time is better spent with someone else.

No drama or hard feelings.

Alan did his homework.
He got better.
He's happily back in the gym again.

Be like Alan.

Do you like drugs?

As a neurology PhD student - I am a bit obsessed with what's going on in your brain - especially where exercise is concerned (all my favourite thngs at once).

You may have heard: serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
These are the 'feel good' chemicals.

Pretty soon after you start an exercise session, your brain releases them into your bloodstream.

You get the hit of a completely legal chemical high that makes you feel fantastic.

And if you keep at it, you'll also look fantastic, which is a pretty cool side effect.

(Pretty much the direct opposite effect of the kind you get arrested for, which will make you look awful. Especially in that prison jumpsuit)

if you've got a ni**le or an injury - your body is going to try and keep you safe.

- Uh Oh.
- PAIN

It's your brain's way of trying to keep you still and stop you from doing any more damage.

But sometimes it gets its wires crossed.

Rehab is often about teaching your brain and your body - that it's OK to start moving again.

Safely - and regularly.

If back pain is getting in the way of you getting those lovely healthy feel-good drugs, and stopping YOU in your tracks
..definitely download my little ebook to get started.

And if there are any other wires I can help you get uncrossed, drop me a message and we can puzzle it out.

I'm going to send you some other things over the next few days to inspire you.

I'm told - you'll want to read them.

* A story about the time I epically messed up (my coach wouldn't even look at me)

* The top questions I'm asked by my patients (no names, of course)

* Something that made me cry as I typed it - a true story lesson in grit, determination and a cute little bungalow.

* Some epic pub quiz facts (basically how to crush the science round).

* How to avoid 'information overload'.

* And a sneaky peek at my mobility masterclass.

Worth getting in on.

We do have a laugh.

It's not just therapist and patient - we work closely together and often become great friends.

Even when their feedback is spicy.

And even though we've made great strides with Martin's ankle (see what I did there?)

I want to talk about your back.
A bit stiff in the morning?
Aches and pains?

Amy here..

Vince is a proud Dad of 3, a successful businessman and a really lovely guy.
It's a pleasure working with him.

My current patients range from
strongmen,
sportspeople (some you will have heard of),
wheelchair users,
post-operative recoverers,
to people who want to maintain their fitness and health.

And people like Vince that had simply had pain he needed relief from.

It's always a joy to be able to puzzle out the quickest and gentlest ways to help.
I know I am lucky to be doing the work I was put here to do.
(and it's a double joy when people send me feedback like this).

I don't treat just the symptom - I treat the whole person.
It's all interconnected, and I have time to make those connections.

If your back pain needs some 'dots joining up',
download my free little eBook (a super quick read),
which I'm sure will give you at least one tip to help.

And now that's out of the way...

There is a snobbery in the science world around complementary therapies.

And I do get that.

Without taking anything away from therapists who practice the more 'new age' stuff,
(some of them are incredible healers)
well,
some of it isn't grounded in measurable science.

As I always say - if you can't measure it - how can you know if it is working?

My background is in the measurable stuff.
Biomechanics, manual therapy, sports and illness rehabilitation, personal training, sports coaching.

I've walked the hard miles (ran a lot of them) and gained the qualifications and experience for a strong foundation to build from.

However.
It would be arrogant to suggest that therapies that have worked for people over thousands of years should be swept aside.

Anything that lasts through the millennia - with people adamant that they've been helped by them,
well those things deserve investigation.

And over the past few years, I have investigated them.
I've studied, in depth, with the top complementary minds - and the results are exciting.

True - some things seem to be little more than placebo but others ... well, the medical establishment may be missing an important trick.

Complementary is just that.
The ancient practices that holistically treat the whole person, beautifully complement modern medicine.

They work together to bring faster, more fundamental, and lasting change.
We all know that your mood, your mind, and your feelings create a massive effect in your state of health and your well-being.

I've applied my science background and fine-tuned a complementary toolkit that feels like magic when it's applied in the right way.

But the way I do it is measurable - it's measured in results.

With athletes like Big Rob - it means he can train harder, go heavier and stay injury free with confidence.

What if I said that an althlete like Rob could lift 20% more, by applying an alchemy of cutting-edge science and ancient therapies?

In one session.

It's true - and I can prove it with data.

Hard to be snobbish about that, right?

Sometimes progress starts with getting back to basics.
The right food.
The right mindset.
Deep restorative rest.
Moving in the right way.

Dealing with the causes of pain rather than treating it in isolation.

Humblebrag alert...

(Amy here)

One of my master's degrees (I know, I'm sorry) was in Biomechanics.

What really got the nerd in me excited, was learning more about our feet, and how important footcare is.

And how when our feet are compromised, the knock-on effect can be a sore back.
(no-one tells you this!)

So a little tip from my eBook.

Kick off your Shoes.
Go on - do it now...

How much time do you spend in shoes each day?
Humans are not actually designed to wear shoes at all.

Fun Facts
Each of our feet has 26 bones.
Between them - they contain over a 1/4 of our entire bones.

Each bone needs ligaments and tendons attached to them.
so that they can move or be moved.

This helps distribute the load, vibration and pressure.
In each foot, there are 33 ligaments.

Now... why would you want to put anything in the way of all of these great structures from doing what they are meant to do?

So a quick way to start being kind to your back is to go barefoot whenever possible (walk on grass for an extra boost)

And don't get me started on high heels...
