I’m probably a bit OCD when it comes to testing the intrinsic core. Wherever a large muscle exists, or one that does a super important job it often has different sensory nerves innervating it, and this allows us more points of access into the motor control system, helping us understand and unravel what’s going on…

A client (who travelled down from London) today presented in clinic with a complex series of symptoms, the stand out one being their scoliosis. Looking through their history, it started after an emotionally traumatic event, and throughout their life, would get worse when they found themselves emotionally challenged.

It’s been a bit of an emotional time in clinic recently. WARNING: Today’s read is not for the faint of heart. But I am honoured people allow me to help them with their stuff, and emerge the other side in a very different place. My client presented in clinic with incontinence. It had been the…

If you’re wondering about C sections, and how they can create so much dysfunction, take a look at the procedure.

So whether it’s a Caesarian, hysterectomy, or other abdominal surgery, addressing…

A new client come to me last week, they’d been having coccyx discomfort since falling on their bottom. We did some work with their epidural scar site (from 16 years ago) their nuchal ligament (attaches to the spinous processes of the neck) and the coccyx ligaments. We achieved a great deal in the first session…

A client presented after having bilateral shoulder operations over a decade ago. The NHS assigned a physio post operatively, but restricted range of motion, and pain on certain movements has persisted ever since. It’s disappointing when surgery doesn’t deliver the kind of results you’d hoped for. For the last few months we’ve (its very much…
