Ann Ferguson - Physio Fundamentals

Ann Ferguson - Physio Fundamentals Experienced Physiotherapist with an interest in movement, breath work, muscle activation (CSP & HCPC registered)

As a physiotherapist with extensive experience in both NHS and private practice, I take a unique, whole-person approach to helping people overcome pain, recover from injury, and achieve their goals. My practice is grounded in the latest understanding of how pain is produced, informed by cutting-edge research in pain science and rehabilitation.

💡 What Sets My Approach Apart? Traditional physiotherapy often focuses solely on the physical aspects of injury or pain. I go beyond this, working to uncover the why behind your symptoms and providing a comprehensive pathway to recovery:

- Root Cause Focus: Whether you’re recovering from injury or dealing with chronic pain, I assess the underlying factors—like movement patterns, breathing mechanics, the role of your nervous system, and previous injury history.
- Pain Science Integration: Pain is complex, shaped by both your body and your brain. I incorporate the latest evidence to help you understand what’s happening and empower you with tools to move forward.
- Holistic Rehabilitation: Recovery isn’t just about healing a particular injury or area —it’s about the experience of the whole body. This may involve also addressing issues such as stress, emotional responses, and the nervous system’s role in how we experience pain and movement.
- Breathing and Biomechanics: Proper breathing and efficient movement are at the heart of my approach. These foundational elements enhance healing, restore balance, and build resilience.

✨ Rehabilitation & Recovery Tailored to You

Whether you’re looking to recover from an injury, break free from persistent pain, or return to peak performance, I provide a customised plan that works with your body, not against it. Through a graded exposure rehabilitation system, we’ll:

- Rebuild strength and confidence one step at a time.
- Rewire unhelpful movement patterns that may be holding you back.
- Aim to identify emotional or stress triggers that can amplify pain or slow recovery.
- Set meaningful, functional goals to get you back to what you love.

🌈 Why I Do What I Do
I’m passionate about giving my clients the tools to take control of their recovery. My goal isn’t just to help you heal—it’s to empower you to move freely, overcome challenges, and achieve your full potential.

As neuroplastic pain is driven by a sensitized nervous system, it's important to note what revs up - and what calms down - your system.

The holidays can be joyful…and a lot on the nervous system. More noise, more memories, more expectations. And for some, that can mean more pain.

This season, remember that you're allowed to go at your own pace. Be kind to your nervous system! 🤍

So true!

Is there something you really want to get back to doing?

You start strong… but somehow your rehab keeps slipping down the priority list?
This is common. Once the pain settles, rehab often stops — even though you’re not quite back to the activity you love. That’s where a structured rehab plan makes all the difference. Clear milestones. Real progress. Ongoing motivation.

At Physio Fundamentals, rehab is never one-size-fits-all. We work together to create a plan built around your goal — and map out exactly how you’ll get there. With targeted exercises for maximum impact and support through every milestone, we’ll help you return to your activity with confidence.

If you’re done with piecemeal rehab, book your assessment today and take the first step back to doing what you love.

Back pain can feel scary—but here’s the truth: it’s rarely dangerous.

In Episode 11 of the Empowered Beyond Pain podcast, the team busts one of the biggest myths around back pain. Most back pain isn’t caused by serious damage, and pain doesn’t always equal harm. Understanding this can reduce fear, build confidence in movement, and help you recover faster.

Knowledge is empowering—and your back is stronger than you think.

Clients often ask me for book recommendations to support their recovery and wellbeing journey. One of my favourites is The Way Out by Alan Gordon.

It’s an insightful and powerful read informed by the latest advances in the understanding of chronic pain. It would be helpful (possibly a game changer!) for anyone living with chronic pain, offering practical tools to help you take charge, calm your nervous system, and reclaim your life.

If you’re looking for something inspiring, supportive, and genuinely useful, this is a wonderful place to start. 🌿

When pain signals fire repeatedly, especially with emotion, attention, and fear, the brain strengthens the network that produce that pain. Over time, the pain becomes less about injury and more about neural patterns.

Pain rarely fires alone. It often co-activates fear, anxiety, attention, vigilance, and memory. These regions (amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex) wire together with sensory pain circuits. Over time, stress or fear alone can then trigger pain. Anticipating pain increases pain. And pain becomes self-reinforcing.

This knowledge helps inform PRT, a science-backed approach to healing!

This is awesome! Breath work is one of the most powerful tools we have for both mental and physical health. It is not the answer to everything but it is often overlooked and undervalued.
