What do sleep apnoea, pain, and blood pressure meds have in common?

More than you think.

If you've been dealing with chronic pain, and you're also on blood pressure medication, there might be a missing piece of the puzzle.

Poor sleep makes pain worse - and sleep apnoea could be affecting both your sleep AND your pain levels without you realising it.

Go and have a chat with the amazing team at Manly Village Compounding Pharmacy to see about getting tested for sleep apnoea 🫶

Have you been told your x-ray shows arthritis - and assumed that's why your knee hurts?

Here's what surprises most people: X-rays show structure, not pain.

I've seen terrible-looking x-rays in people who move brilliantly, and mild (or no) changes in people who struggle daily with their knees.

Understanding this disconnect changes how you approach your knee.

If you want help with your knee, book online or give us a call.

3 things most people don't know about knee osteoarthritis (OA):

1. "Bone on bone" doesn't mean you're doomed
2. Exercise is one of the MOST effective treatments (not rest)
3. It's not just about your knee - sleep, stress, and movement patterns all play a role

I made a video suggesting an experiment to try with your arthritic knee(s).

In the video, I also explain about my approach to knee OA along with a new program I'm running. If you or someone you know is dealing with an arthritic knee, it's worth a watch: https://youtube.com/live/o8dwNrIEQSE

"I thought I was being ‘good’ by pushing through the arthritic (OA) knee pain".

Here's the thing: more movement isn’t always better.

Your knee needs consistency — and for you to listen to what it's telling you.

We’ve been taught to fear pain.

Arthritic (OA) knee pain during movement doesn’t mean you’re doing harm.

Sometimes it’s just your knee adjusting and telling you what it can/can't handle.

With arthritic (OA) knee pain, when every step makes you wince, it’s easy to freeze.

Although doing nothing doesn't make the knee any better either.

This might sound familiar if you’ve tried resting your pain away.

The aim is to get that balance, and as with a lot of things, this is easier said than done.

🚫 MYTH: "Knee arthritis means you should avoid exercise."
✅ REALITY: It's about finding the right movement for YOU

After years of helping people with knee OA, I've learned that education is everything. When you understand what's happening in your knee and why, everything changes.

That's why I'm running this workshop - to share what actually helps (and what doesn't) so you can make informed decisions about your health.
