People often think massage fixes the problem. It doesn’t.
Your body handles the recovery. I guide and support the process.

Massage helps because it calms things down. It changes how your nervous system responds. It gives you short term relief so you can move with less pain. That movement creates the real progress.

What I do in the session sets the stage.
What you do after the session keeps the change.

This is why I mix hands on work with clear advice, simple strength work, and movement you can trust. You get short term relief and a plan that helps you stay on track.

If you want help with pain, stiffness, or getting back to training, send me a message. Let’s figure out what you need.

1. Poor load management

- A common cause of flare-ups isn’t “bad form,” it’s poor load tolerance.
- People jump volume or intensity too quickly or don’t reduce load when stress outside training is high.
- The body adapts to gradual exposure, not spikes.
- Even small increases (10–20%) in total weekly load can trigger pain if recovery is off.

2. Inconsistent exposure to meaningful strength work

- Many rehab or “pain-friendly” sessions stay too easy for too long.
- Research shows underloading tissues keeps them sensitive because they never rebuild capacity.
- Light bands and mobility drills alone won’t build resilience.
- You need progressive strength work matched to tolerance and recovery.

3. Lack of recovery and systemic stress

- Sleep deprivation, high work stress, poor nutrition, and low energy availability all heighten pain sensitivity.
- These don’t just slow recovery—they change how your nervous system perceives pain.
- The more run down you are, the louder pain signals become, even if the tissue is fine.

4. Fear and overprotection

- Avoiding movement after a flare-up creates deconditioning and threat association.
- The brain learns to see normal movement as “dangerous,” amplifying pain.
- Confidence and graded exposure retrain that response better than rest or “perfect posture.”

I've had the pleasure of treating Nicolas, who works in Oxford occasionally. He's been a delight to work with and I'm glad I could help alleviate his back and neck pain.
