The Venard Clinic, Thursby House, 1 Thursby Road (2025)

“Did you tell Venard about that time you got knocked over by a car?”

Client’s other half asked them after we had our call.

“CRAP!”

*Client quickly fires over a message with the above information prior to our session*

Might have pushed results back a session or two,

But would’ve eventually shown itself up.

Certain areas are fairly hot in my books that I always ask and screen for.

When you’ve had pain for over a long period of time and seemingly random

In multiple areas?

It’s extremely rare that each problem area has its own individual cause.

Usually a few (maybe more in complex cases) areas that are mega important that got rocked and kick started the whole compensation.

Cos if you have knee pain (for example) but have never had any knocks, falls, bumps, etc to it?

Why the hell would it be hurting then?

If you slipped and bashed your knee, that would make more sense to having knee pain.

With this particular client, like many I work with, had seen numerous clinicians with minimal success.

Just a 5-10 minute chat about the current symptoms and then dived right in.

Thinking that if they pressed harder, used stronger tape, manipulate joints more, stretched and bent you into a pretzel and got you into that pain cave to block it out, etc, they’d be hitting the mark.

Thing was, the client never really had any injuries to all the areas they were suffering the pain from.

All on one side of their body

(sounds scary, but is actually quite common presentation and not as bad as made out to be)

For one half of the body to be affected, it’s a massive area to shut down and very precise as there was no compensation with the other side of the body at all.

Turns out to be concussion, unconsciousness with a dash of whiplash from being knocked over by a car.

Over 10 years ago.

Head injuries is one area I always ask and check for, regardless how long ago it’s been.

Neck jacks up to stabilise the head

Upper back and shoulder tightens up as well to help out with the neck.

A tonne of areas chip in to help out, even though it’s not even their job.

There were a few more players to the mix around the hip where the impact was, but a lot was all geared to the head.

Cos if I used similar approaches that their previous clinicians had used?

Oh boy! I’d be another name on that list.

There will always be a cause and may not be obvious.

Simply how far back and the depth are they willing to go to uncover it.

With my client, just treating the head already cleared up 70% of their issues.

Not out the woods yet, but the end goal in clear view.

At least 10 years of compensations is a hefty amount to process and catch up.

When you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and not getting anywhere and you want to speed up the process?

She did not want her life to be defined and limited by the pain anymore.

My client, Cath, loves to sail and spend time on the water. Away from the distractions and pressures of modern life.

She was spending time with family relaxing on her boat until suddenly she experienced sharp shoulder pain.

When simple tasks such as holding and pouring a bottle of wine become impossible, piloting a boat, controlling the sails becomes a nightmare.

She initially thought this was a rotator cuff problem and had multiple sessions with a local Osteo. Not only were the results very short term, the diagnosis kept changing from session to session. Adding more confusion to the mix.

Cath reached out to see what could be done as she had a hunch there was something else going on. After an initial call, we mapped out an overview of the shoulder issue in the assessment session.

Turns out the shoulder was actually fine, just in a state of compensation as a few of the likely causes we found…were able to cancel out the pain, improve the strength and range of motion for her shoulder and arm.

Without even having to treat the shoulder itself!

Even holding a full water bottle and pouring movement was effortless.

Her hunch was correct and we proceeded to solve her shoulder issue.

In the first main session we went for a deep dive to map out the specifics of the causes:

The order they have to be treated in.

What structures are involved- ligaments/ muscle/ joint/ etc.

The order these structures have to be treated in.

And pressure testing the work.

Cath had gotten more improvement in strength, mobility, range of movement and reduction in pain than she had from all the months of past approaches combined. I’d say we were easily 80% completed just from this first session.

She loves to stay active and one of her favourite activities is Pilates. The difference was night and day. From months of struggling with certain movements and positions, to being able to perform them easily and progressing to more advanced work in a time frame unheard of.

Over the next couple of follow ups, the corrective work was constantly fine tuned in between sessions as Cath continued with Pilates to push the work and rebuild her confidence with her body.

The biggest boost in confidence was when she helped her daughter to move house.

No hesitation, no worries or having to adjust positions to cope with the boxes. Including lifting a table through a kitchen window!

Having experienced how her arm, shoulder and body worked seamlessly as a team during a house move, everything all clicked together for Cath that she can now live the life she desires. Not forgetting no daily maintenance exercises or follow up session needed anymore!

Fed up of being defined by your pain and want results like Cath?

The first chase is more money.

Sure, a valid marker of success and flex.

But there’s much bigger flex’s to have.

Money comes and goes.

Once you either hit those money milestones or simply a bit older and wiser, you realise time and health is where the real wealth is at.

Time?

That doesn’t stop for any one.

We’ve all heard the stories and may even know someone who is super wealthy, but has massive regrets because they’ve been working 80 hour weeks and missed out on a lot of memories and experiences with family and friends.

What you choose to do with time is up to you. Many of my clients, as a result of getting pain free, end up with some serious bucket list tasks checked off much earlier than they thought.

All because their body is pain free and enables them to do so.

Health?

You are a 1 of 1.

THE ultimate limited edition. Incomparable even to the rarest Picasso or that 1 of 1 Bugatti found in the Middle East.

This is the cornerstone of your life.

The quality of your health massively influences both your time and wealth.

Better health= more efficiency and productivity with work…more money.

Also more opportunities and experiences, more freedom.

Wouldn’t it be cool when you look back, there’s no regrets and you have cool stories and memories of your adventures to share with your loved ones?

That’s real wealth and the ultimate flex.

There’s no ceiling to this either.

She was torn between both wanting me to fail and this approach to work for her.

Having had shoulder issues for decades, my client had pretty much accepted the pain and that she would need daily exercises to keep on top of the pain relief.

Like many other clients, she had exhausted all local approaches and options. All typically only offered short term relief. Becoming jaded to all pitches from those who thought they could help her.

Until one day she saw a regular member of her class who had similar issues able to perform movements and lifts she had previously struggled with.

What would normally take months of diligent attendance to build the strength to progress was fast tracked into a few weeks.

She reached out after seeing the possibility that she too could have similar results.

Secretly she wanted this to fail because she had been let down so many times in the past and could put this down to a impossible case.

We mapped out everything and traced this to a few very old injuries, knocks and bumps she had that were driving the issues.

Areas that everyone else dismissed or ignored.

Push ups and various pressing movements were equal, smooth and pain free…

All from just the first session.

As easy as sitting waiting for a coffee.

We’re not done yet as there’s a few more layers to clear up and test.

However, she now knows she can have the life she has dreamed off again.

To hell with circumstances, I create opportunities- Bruce Lee.

Dreams remain dreams if you do nothing about them and eventually fade away.

My client, Romi, reached out to see what could be done with her hamstring, knee and achilles issues.

Not only was this impacting her day to day tasks, this also affected what she loves to do-

Long walks with the dog, yoga and travelling.

Romi didn't want to just accept the circumstances and live with the pain. So she created the opportunity and sent the message.

With the distance involved and her busy work schedule, we went for a hybrid approach-

Initial 1 1/2 day in person for all the high detail and hands on work required.

Then follow ups were over video calls.

This minimised the impact from having to take hours out multiple times for travelling, whilst getting the precise work needed.

Her leg issue was merely just symptoms and whilst everyone just focussed on those, we took the time to trace the cause back to a few old and significant injuries.

Ones that were either disregarded as not important or were not treated correctly.

She is now back to living the life she desired.

Getting better doesn’t have to be difficult or a never ending maintenance process or having to downgrade your life to fit the pain.

Who else wants results like these?

What is normal?

You’ve seen practically everyone.

(When even a former commonwealth gold medallist and Olympic swimmer loves how you work)

On a cycle of never ending maintenance follow ups.

Results aren’t where you hoped them to be. Or even miles away of what you’ve been looking for.

Besides missing out on a full comprehensive assessment process, where everything can and should be mapped out…

You don’t know what to expect.

What improvements are possible.

Everything shouldn’t be left to hope and ‘see how this goes’.

You just want to get back to your normal life.

That’s where the Projected Outcome comes in.

Normal is relative to you.

It’s not just comparing the bad side with the good side.

But also how fast the bad side can be brought up to speed and equal your better side.

In essence, this is where you are at now, if we treat this area?

If lots of areas are affected and you feel blocky and hesitant with how you move?
Still works. This time the Projected Outcome allows you to see what areas are involved and how well you can actually get.

By seeing the difference in the numbers in real time, gives you confidence that you can be back to normal.

Ready for clearer outcomes and what to expect?

Or you could just continue with guessing and hoping.

She saunters in casually sipping her coffee in hand as if she never had an issue at all.

We’re only one session in.

Well ahead of schedule.

After a year of excruciating pain in her shoulder whenever she moved her arm, impacting simple day to day tasks such as washing her hair, holding and pouring a kettle to make a cup of tea, even sleep was broken.

She felt pretty defeated from the lack of results with past approaches. Plus the constant need to maintain the level of improvement.

She reached out to see what could be done after seeing the case studies.

The causes and mechanisms were mapped out in the assessment session and she didn’t believe they were running the show…

Until she realised she could move her arm more freely and ease and that’s just from a screening/ assessment session.

With the first session completed, she was pretty much back to resuming day to day tasks now without hesitation and pain that same day.

Now we’re just fine tuning the work to extend the top end threshold of strength and stability so she has more strength and control than she actually needs for her workouts, hobbies and in general life.

Getting better doesn’t have to be long winded or need never ending maintenance sessions.

Being more precise and having the correct approach vastly fast tracks progress.

What would you do tomorrow if you were pain free today?

12/03/2025

The impact of the pain is much bigger than just you.

You have already seen various aspects of your life get restricted due to the pain-
Going out less.
Invited to social events less.
Crankier mood from interrupted sleep.
Increased tiredness.
Reduced focus and productivity.
Weight gain.

To name a few.

Many clients have said that in the past their thoughts were just to grit their teeth and soldier through as they are the ones in pain.

Reality is that the tentacles of pain also affect those around you.

I got this message from a client's wife.

For years she has watched him suffer and the frustration of past failed treatments wearing him down and slowly becoming a shell of his former self.

They reached out to see what could be done after seeing all the case studies.

After mapping out his symptoms, mechanisms in play, the causes were traced back to a few very old and significant injuries he had decades ago.

These were either overlooked or disregarded as irrelevant.

Once these were treated correctly and in a matter of hours?

His pain cleared up.
He could stretch, move, twist, bend without hesitation.
Voice was was crisp and clear.
His smile was back and expression was calm.
Mind was quiet. No more trying to fight to shut the pain up.
He could hear the clock ticking in the office as the tinnitus cleared up itself.

Not only does he have his life back.

She has her husband back.
His kids have their dad back.

As soon as he opened his eyes, all that mattered was just to get through the day.

No more. No less.

A case of 20 years of all over body pain, brain fog and tinnitus solved in less than 2 days from just 1 correction.

That’s what my client shared about how he coped for over the past 20 years of constant pain in his neck, shoulder, back, hips, knees, brain fog and tinnitus.

That’s a lot of ground to cover.

Having experienced the level of relief and freedom from the assessment session a few weeks back, he returned for a 2 day fast track clinic to get this fully solved.

The intensity of the pain was so high that he needed 5-10 minutes between each test in the assessment phase to settle down.

We mapped the causes back to a few old sports injuries (concussions and whiplash), and an old surgical scar. This was the main player and when this was corrected, right out the gate his body unlocked all the tightness.

He could breathe fully.

Joints decompressed and his mobility returned.

He now had a calmness to his face.

This can happen and it isn’t rare to find one area running the whole show.

We then spent time letting his body explore movements and bringing back the play element.

He was able to bend forwards to touch his toes, sit cross legged, kneel pain free again! Reaching behind his back, overhead, twisting his back.

His face lit up when he found out he could skip and balance on his tip toes…with no pain.

To sit back on the couch just chilling was totally new for him and he enjoyed it.

We were actually done in less than 1 ½ days.

They said online work would be impossible.

Hold my drink.

Just got an update from a client this morning that the corrective we did for his neck, shoulder and hip pain back in summer last year was still all good. Even with multiple gym sessions a week, football and a young family to look after.

The biggest test for him was very recently he had to push his car off the road as the battery had died.

If he still had the issues, pushing a car would be the last thing he would want to do.

No issues. Everything was still solid and working at 100% as it was 6 months ago.

Their case was pretty straight forward but with a young family and insane work schedule, in person work was not possible as it would involve him having to fly over. Likely would have solved the case in a day or 2.

Enter video work. This case was 100% done online to fit in with his lifestyle.

Not all cases are suitable for online work though.

Even within the first session and the first few rounds of corrective work, he had pretty much doubled the range of movement and the pain had dropped down from a painkiller clutching 8/10 to a 1/10.

We got it down to 0/10 soon after that with no maintenance sessions or daily rehab exercises to do since we finished.

They used to say that online work would be impossible…until the pandemic hit and everyone bricked themselves. Either closing up shop and not knowing whether they would open again, or clamouring onto crash courses of online work.

Me? I’ve been doing this since 2016. 😀

This is entirely possible (case dependent) when you have a precise assessment framework in play and know what questions to ask.

Getting better and having long term results is entire possible. Even over video.

Who likes the idea of not wasting time every week with maintenance massages or daily exercises to keep on top of things?

Just saying ...

13/11/2024

When your dreams and goals are a priority, you do whatever within your power to make them happen.

So when you look back in years to come?

There’s less to regret.

Ben (who I posted about yesterday) knew the impact the 8 years of chronic shoulder, back and feet pain was having on his life and business. Easily costing him into the high figure mark every year. He now has his life back. Just after a 2 day fast track clinic.

Martin continued to be the best role model he could for his kids after living with shoulder pain from failed shoulder surgery. This was at least 20 years of pain all fully solved with the causes in areas everyone had disregarded and overlooked.

Des continues to bring a positive impact to her community with fitness retreats.

With his shoulder pain solved, Malcolm fulfilled a family bucket list holiday… Disneyland and he ended up carrying son on his shoulder to let his little legs rest.

Trevor is still travelling, living the digital nomad lifestyle with ultimate location freedom.

David is now running up and down the Yorkshire Dales again. Like he did as a teenager.

Lynn has her independence from peripheral neuropathy and the ability to play with her grandchildren.

Alice had a health scare and wanted to solve the lower back pain so she could move better, more comfortably and get back her fitness to be healthier.

After knee surgery, Sebastian wanted to return to running and an active lifestyle. He’s now fitter and stronger than before surgery.

Jayne wanted her lower back and hip pain sorted so that when her baby son arrives, she is in the best state physically and emotionally to fully enjoy her motherhood.

Eric has an upcoming golf holiday with friends and clients. We all know a lot of business deals are done golfing. He needed his back and shoulders sorted so he could play without hesitation and win the contracts.

Getting out of pain is very rarely about the pain itself. Usually there is a much bigger purpose to be pain free.

These are just a few recent clients who were serious about their goals and what they want their future to look like.

This is for those who want the freedom of choice and to live life on their terms and not have excuses when they look back on what they have achieved.

Who else wants results like the above?
