Had 5 minutes before my last client today, so I used it to work on my feet. ❤️

Most people forget about their feet when they’re trying to look after their knees. But if the feet aren’t doing their job properly, the knees (and everything above) end up taking the hit.🔨

This isn’t about smashing a perfect 60-minute workout.

It’s about using the small windows you’ve got and being consistent.💯

5 minutes here. 5 minutes there.
That’s what adds up.

Show your feet some love and your knees will thank you.

Most people neglect their shoulders until something goes wrong - Here are five exercises I do to keep mine strong and healthy.

Your shoulders do a lot. Reaching. Lifting. Throwing. Picking up your kids.

But most people don't prepare them for that, they do repetitive movements that tighten up surrounding muscles that then keep them stuck and restrict full movement.

Here are the five exercises I do to keep my shoulders strong and functional.

Exercise 1: Dynamic Warm-Up

First, I warm the joint up properly. I take my shoulder through its full range of motion and add some load to it. This isn't just moving your arm around. It's moving it with purpose. Getting the joint ready for work.

Exercise 2: Stability Work

Next, I focus on stability. Specifically, the shoulder blade. Your shoulder blade is the foundation everything else sits on. If it's unstable, your shoulder's unstable. This exercise focuses on stabilisation through dynamic movement.

Exercise 3: Strength with Movement

Then I layer in strength. This exercise pulls everything together. It loads the shoulder while requiring both strength and stability. It's where the real work happens.

Exercise 4: The Dip

Now here's where people get surprised. A dip. But not just any dip. A slow, controlled dip. Why? Because your triceps actually assist in bringing your arm backwards. Plus, it opens up the front of your chest. One exercise. Multiple benefits. Strength and mobility combined.

Exercise 5: The Bicep Curl

And finally, the bicep curl. Again, people don't realise this, but your biceps assist in bringing your arm up above your head. Working your arms isn't vanity. It's shoulder function.

So that's it. Five exercises. Warm-up. Stability. Strength.

Not complicated. Just effective.

Winter's here. Evenings are drawing in. It's cold outside. So your kids want indoor activities. Soft play. Trampoline parks. All the things that require crawling, climbing, jumping, twisting. 😭😭😭

And if you're in pain, you're relegated to the sidelines. Watching. Making excuses. Feeling the guilt.

Your kid runs up. "Come on. Come with me. Please."

And you're already planning the excuse. Again.

Because you know what happens. Those awkward movements. The crawling. The getting up and down repeatedly. Your body can't handle it.

So you stay on the bench. Watching their disappointment fade into acceptance.

They've stopped asking as much now. And that hurts more than any physical pain.

But here's what changed for me. It's not about being pain-free. It's about being functional enough to participate.

Through building strength, improving mobility, and conditioning your body for real-world demands you get back to participating. 🥳🥳

So you can crawl through those tunnels without dreading the aftermath. Jump on the trampoline. Be the parent who joins in.

Not perfect movement. Just functional enough to be present and to be able to say yes! 💯

"It's Too Expensive"

1. What's pain costing you right now?

Missing work. Avoiding family activities. Not being the parent you want to be. That has a cost too. 💰Not just financial. Emotional. Relational.

2. Quick fixes cost more in the long run.

You can keep buying pain relief, trying random treatments, hoping it goes away. 🙏

Or you can invest in actually fixing the problem. One approach keeps you in the cycle. The other gets you out. ✅️

3. Prevention is cheaper than crisis.

Dealing with pain now, before it gets worse, before it stops you working, before it impacts everything. That's the smart investment. 👨‍🎓

4. You're not just paying for an appointment.

You're paying for 15+ years of experience. Someone who's lived with chronic pain and knows what works. A holistic approach that looks at the whole picture, not just the symptom. 👀

5. What would being pain-free be worth to you?

Getting down on the floor with your kids. Planning family days out without dread. Sleeping through the night. Being fun mum or dad again.
Can you put a price on that? 🤔

I work with people in Welwyn Garden City who've been stuck in pain for months, sometimes years.

They've spent money on things that didn't work because they were chasing quick fixes. 😫

Investing in proper, patient-centered rehab isn't an expense. It's getting your life back. 💯🥳

Message INFO and let's talk about how we can make this work for you.

Monday morning. You can barely get out of bed. Again. 😭😭

Felt good Saturday. 🥳 Pushed hard. 💪 Played football with the kids. Felt like your old self. 👏 Now you're paying for it. Stiff. Sore. Moving like you're 90. And the worst part? You know you'll do it again next weekend.

Those two days are all you have. So you cram everything in. Ignore the warning signs. Push through. Then spend Monday to Friday recovering. Just in time to wreck yourself again. 🔁

You're stuck in this exhausting cycle. Getting worse each time. The recovery takes longer. The pain lingers more. You're wondering if this is just how life is now.

Here's what I learned. 🧑‍🎓

Activity without preparation is just injury waiting to happen. The problem isn't that you're active. It's that your body isn't conditioned for what you're asking it to do. Every weekend becomes a shock to your system. Recovery gets harder each time.

But it doesn't have to be this way. 🛑

Through consistent conditioning during the week, proper load management, and building resilience - you break the cycle. You prepare your body for weekend activity instead of shocking it. So you can play football Saturday and still function Monday. Garden without wrecking your back. Be active without the crash.

That's what proper rehabilitation looks like for active parents in Welwyn Garden City.

Not avoiding activity. But preparing your body to handle it.

Weekends become enjoyable. Not something you pay for all week. 💪💪

You've been doing your knee exercises for months. So why does it still hurt?"

Same exercises. Same pain. Week after week. 😭😭

You're doing everything the physio told you. But nothing's changing - So you think physio doesn't work. 👎

But here's the thing - Your knee might be screaming. But the root cause could be your ankle. Or your hip. Weak ankles mean your knee compensates. Unstable hips mean your knee takes extra load it can't handle. 🦵

Your body is a chain. ⛓️

When one link is weak, another link pays the price. The knee sits between the ankle and the hip. If either isn't functioning properly, the knee suffers.

Find what's broken in the chain. Fix it. 🛠️

Then the appropriate strengthening exercises actually work.

Because you've addressed the root cause. 💪💪

✅ That's real rehabilitation.✅

You know what I'm talking about.

😫Bending to tie your shoelaces.
😫Reaching down to put on your socks.
😫Even sneezing.

You feel old. Broken. Like your body's betraying you.👵👴

But what if I told you it has nothing to do with age? It's because you've been caught in the trap of training muscles instead of movements.

Most people do squats, lunges, deadlifts. All forward and back. Same direction every time. ↔️↔️

Then real life happens. You twist to grab something. Reach awkwardly. Bend and rotate to pick up your kid. And your body can't handle it. Because you've never trained it to.

Here's what you need to understand.

Your body moves in three directions: Forward and back. Side to side. Rotation. But if you only train one direction, you're vulnerable in the other two. That's when injuries happen. When you move outside your trained pattern.

The solution?

Train movements, not muscles! Think about what's possible at each joint. Then train it in all directions.

✅️Hip can rotate? Train rotation.
✅️Shoulder can move sideways? Train that too.

Then combine them. Because that's how life actually works. By training in multiple planes, you're preparing your body for real-world demands.
Picking up kids. Carrying shopping. Playing sport. Tying your shoelaces without fear.

You become injury-resistant because your body is equipped to handle movement in any direction. Not just the familiar ones.

That's how you stop your back going out when you sneeze. By making your body ready for life. Not just the gym. Train movements. In all directions. That's how you build a body that actually works.

Basketball was my coping mechanism.

When I felt down, I'd go to the court. It made me happy. Made me feel like myself.

Losing it to injury meant I lost more than a sport. I lost the thing that helped me get through life.

And as an adult, I've struggled to find that again.

When you don't have that thing that makes you feel good, what do you do?

Sometimes we hide in other things. Things that are potentially negative. Detrimental to our health.

Instead of focusing on the positive, health-promoting activities we need.

I avoided basketball for a long time after my injuries.

I was small for a basketball player. 5'3" when I first dunked. But I could dunk on centres. Could do things small people couldn't necessarily always do.

That was part of my game I was really proud of.

Then injury took that away.

I couldn't run and change direction the same way. Couldn't play at the level I once did. Couldn't do the things that made me special on the court.

And that was depressing. Really depressing.

You lose a bit of the love when you can't do what you used to do.

You're reluctant to go back to a level that feels beneath you.

So I avoided it completely. For years.

But I've started looking at it differently now.

Everything I've been through. 15 operations. Daily pain. The fact that I can still go onto the court and shoot around?

That's something to be happy about.

I'm not the player I was. I'll never be that player again.

But I can still participate in the sport I love. To some degree. And that's not nothing.

Would I love to play at some competitive level again? Absolutely. We'll see what's possible.

But for now, I'm focusing on what I can do. Not what I've lost.

Staying active. Finding joy in movement, even when it looks different than it used to.

Because that's the coping mechanism I need.

Not avoiding the things I love because they're not perfect anymore. But engaging with them in whatever way my body allows.

That's what I want for every parent in Welwyn Garden City dealing with pain.

Not to give up the things that make you feel like yourself.

But to find ways to stay connected to them. Even if it looks different than it used to.
