Pain Free Start

20/01/2026

Sometimes a message stops you in your tracks. This one really did for me it was exactly what I needed to hear when I read it yesterday morning.

Over the last few months, I’ve stumbled into something new the scanner and I've been finding my way with how it fits alongside my physiotherapy work. I love my job and would never want to replacing it, but enhancing how I support people. I’ve always taken a holistic approach, and this is exactly how I envisioned things evolving when I came across the scanner and the Nuskin opportunity: helping people understand their bodies better, feel more in control, and make positive changes with confidence.

Reading feedback like this was exactly what I needed to hear, as I have occasionally doubted myself, its a lot of work setting up something new am I doing the right thing? But Sonia Rhodes completely understood my vision and why I'm pivoting what I do slightly and that belief from others is invaluable. It has never just been about fixing pain for me, I've always tried to add more, listen and really support people where they are at.

Thank you to everyone who reads my blogs, trusts my recommendations, and lets me be part of their journey. It genuinely means more than you know. 💛

If you’re curious, my latest blog it's in the comments, I also have lots of other health related blogs on my website http://painfreestart.com and FB page Pain Free Start or if you are interesting in what I'm doing just ask.

I will leave you with Sonias kind words that she shared with her Rhodes to Change Coaching community when she shared my blog with them, for which I'm very thankful.

Or if I can help in anyway as always I'm here, please get in touch.

Take care, Helen

How well is your body really coping with everyday life?

Inside your cells, stress and repair are constantly balancing.
When stress wins, recovery slows, ageing speeds up and flare-ups become more likely.

That process is called oxidative stress and your body uses antioxidants to protect itself from it.

🌿 New in clinic: I now offer PRYSM antioxidant scans, a quick, non-invasive way to see how protected your body is from the inside out.

** Message me to book a scan.

Small changes inside your body can make big differences over time.

Take care, Helen

What a year. So many new experiences, people, challenges. So much positive movement forwards due to increased energy and a quieter mind.

But the years not over. How much can we do today to positively impact others, ourselves and the world we live in it’s sometimes the smallest things we do that have a knock on effect.

I’m going through my day with this in mind but first I’m going to make a donation to nourish the children. One of my goals for 2026 is to become an ambassador for nourish the children. I’m taking advantage of NUskins promise to donate 1 extra bag of vitameal for every 3 purchased in December.
If you are able please support there work, it’s having such an impact.

Have a great day and make it the perfect end to 2025.

Take care and enjoy, Helen x

Feeling stuck with your health or energy?

If pain, low energy, or overwhelm have made it hard to know where to start, this is a resource I genuinely recommend.

It’s a free, evidence-based guide packed with practical advice to support your body, energy, and overall wellbeing, without extremes or pressure.

I didn’t create this guide myself, but the content aligns beautifully with what I see every day as a physiotherapist and with what I’m learning through my nutrition training.

This is the kind of guide you’ll want to save and come back to, not rush through once.

Free 36 page guide (or in comments) https://painfreestart.com/a-free-guide-full-of-expert-tips-to-support-your-body-wellbeing/

I hope you find this guide useful. Here as always if you need help with anything.

Take care, Helen

Standing, chatting, pottering in the kitchen, laughing with family, dancing to Christmas tunes or wrapping presents - all count as movement. Your body will thank you for it!

No workouts required. Just enjoy the day and keep moving in little ways.

This Christmas don't forget to give yourself a little care too. Things can get pretty crazy!

Snuggle up with a heated throw

Keep a heat pack handy for stiff muscles

Move gently and listen to your body

A few small moments of care can make your festive days more comfortable and enjoyable.

Take care, Helen

I just wanted to take a moment to wish you a very Merry Christmas.

This time of year can be joyful, but also a bit hectic and sometimes achy. Remember to move a little, keep warm, and take some quiet moments for yourself — even small things add up.

Here’s to a cosy, comfortable Christmas and a few days of rest and joy.

Take care, Helen
