Adults: “You’re not broken”

Many adults come to see me worried that their pain means something is damaged, worn out or getting worse.

Back pain, neck pain, headaches, jaw tension or joint pain can feel unsettling, especially when it lingers or flares up without an obvious cause.

In most cases, pain does not mean that anything is broken. Very often it reflects how the body is coping with load, stress, tension and sensitivity rather than structural damage.

A big part of my role is to assess what’s going on, explain it clearly and help calm both the body and the nervous system so things can begin to settle.

Understanding what’s happening is often the first step towards feeling more confident and moving forward.

Babies: “They look like they’re in pain”

One of the hardest things for parents is watching their baby strain, go red in the face, wriggle or cry when trying to pass wind or open their bowels.

In many young babies, the muscles that push and the muscles that need to relax aren’t yet well coordinated. This is known as infant dyschezia and it can look dramatic, even though it’s part of normal development.

It doesn’t mean your baby is constipated or that something is wrong.

When I see babies with these symptoms, my focus is on helping their nervous system settle and easing any physical tension that may be making things harder for them, while also explaining what is likely to improve naturally with time.

Parents often feel much more confident once they understand what they’re seeing.

I went to a brilliant one day CPD course today at Murrayshall in Scone with Petra Kamarytova. It was a fascinating course giving us information about peri-menopause, menopause and post-menopause.

We covered the female life cycle, hormonal changes, common and less common symptoms and how these can affect the body day to day. There was a big focus on MSK considerations, genitourinary symptoms, topical oestrogen, HRT and MHT, plus lifestyle approaches and alternative options.

The workshop included case studies and lots of evidence based resources and practical tools that I can share with patients. It was a really valuable day and I’m looking forward to bringing this into my work.

🌟 Kind Words from Grateful Patients – Google Reviews 🌟

It’s always such a privilege to support people through pain and uncertainty — whether that’s a newborn struggling with reflux and constipation, someone seeking relief from neck and arm pain, or a new arrival to Glasgow searching for answers after years of chronic issues.

Here’s what a few recent patients have kindly shared:

🗣️ "Fiona’s attention to detail, memory and ability to explain the most complex sounding things were impressive... I now have answers with a care plan and feel completely supported." – Paul G.

🗣️ "After just one session, I could feel the difference… and a month later I’m finally free of the discomfort and sleeping a whole lot better." – Gemma C.

🗣️ "My 7-week-old baby went to the toilet for the first time in 5 days after seeing Fiona, and his crying and grunting had massively decreased. Fiona also suspected a possible tongue tie — we got it checked and she was right. So thankful we found her!" – Louise T.

🗣️ "Fiona did her ‘magic’ and after just one session, using manipulation (massage & articulation), a lot of my awful neck and arm pain had vastly reduced." Pauline D.

Every story is different, and I work hard to tailor care that’s right for you.
