Your shoes are spilling secrets and I’m listening…

When it comes to pain and movement assessment, footwear matters way more than people think. Your trainers can tell a story: where you strike the ground, how you push off, where you’re loading, and even what patterns might be contributing to pain or injury.

In clinic, I’m not just looking at you, I’m looking at what’s carrying you around all day too!

What do you naturally reach for? In this case, it’s usually a Nike Vomero 18 or Nike ZoomX. And yes… I’ll say it louder for the people at the back: I’m a huge advocate for the Nike Vomero 18. Absolute chef’s kiss of a shoe 👌 (I’ve recommended them to many, many patients for a reason.)

I also like to detective-mode my way through previous orthotics 🕵️‍♀️ What’s already being used? What’s helping? What’s not? Because if someone is still in pain, there’s usually a reason why.

And here’s the thing: orthotics (aka insoles) are not one-size-fits-all. Some people do brilliantly with a simple off-the-shelf option, some need semi-bespoke, and others need fully custom. More expensive doesn’t automatically mean better, it’s about what you actually need.

Pain and injury aren’t always just about the “what”. Sometimes the magic is in finding the WHY** ✨**

✨ PART 2: Larry The Laser is officially IN ACTION 👀🔥

Here we’re treating Achilles tendinopathy but plot twist… I never just treat the sore bit 😏

Because why would we only focus on the place that’s shouting the loudest when there are other structures quietly stirring the pot in the background?

I treat the entire kinetic chain for better outcomes!

Meaning? We look at everything feeding into the issue:
💥 Calves
💥 Ankles
💥 Feet
💥 Hips
💥 Movement patterns
💥 Tightness, weakness & compensation

Because sometimes your Achilles is just the spokesperson for the real problem.

With Larry The Laser, I mainly use a combo of:

✨ Trigger point treatment
Targeting irritated, tight or overloaded areas to calm things down.

✨ Scanning mode
Helping stimulate healing across a wider area and supporting tissue repair like the overachiever it is.

And because we love the benefits:

💥 Reduced pain
💥 Faster tissue healing
💥 Reduced inflammation
💥 Improved circulation
💥 Helping stubborn injuries finally get the memo to heal

Honestly? Larry gets booked and busy around here because he’s a bit of a game changer ✨

So if you’re struggling with:
•Niggles that won’t disappear
• Persistent pain
•Tightness that keeps coming back
•An injury that’s taking forever to heal

Why not come say hi to Larry The Laser 😎

Your body will thank you 🙏

Love,

In today’s reel I’m using Larry The Laser (Low Level Laser Therapy) to help treat Achilles tendinopathy 💥

This little beauty is designed to help reduce pain, calm inflammation, speed up healing and get stubborn injuries moving in the right direction again!

But wait… it’s not just for Achilles 👇🏼

✨ Plantar fasciitis
✨ High hamstring / hip tendinopathy
✨ Tight, angry calves
✨ Sports injuries that just won’t repair
✨ Slow healing injuries & soft tissue pain
✨ Helping wounds heal quicker
✨ Persistent niggles that have overstayed their welcome

Think of it as giving your body a little healing nudge when things are taking their sweet time.

Benefits? We LOVE them:
💥 Reduced pain
💥 Faster tissue healing
💥 Reduced inflammation
💥 Improved circulation
💥 Helping you get back to moving without wincing every five seconds 😮‍💨

And trust me… if your injury has been hanging around like an uninvited ex, this could be the game changer…

Part 3: Gait Analysis 🚶‍♀️✨

This is where the real story unfolds…how you ACTUALLY move.

We’re looking at how your foot meets the ground, how well you absorb shock, whether your alignment is working with you or against you 👀, and if you’re crashing down as a heavy heel striker.

Because here’s the thing… the way you walk today can quietly shape the injuries of tomorrow.

Gait analysis helps us spot the subtle imbalances, inefficiencies, and sneaky compensations that could be holding you back or setting you up for pain. It shows us what’s happening now and what could be coming next if we don’t intervene.

And no, you don’t need loads of fancy machinery for this… a trained eye can pick up more than you’d think 👣✨

Think of it as your body’s movement blueprint… and trust me, it’s worth checking.

Walk better. Move better. Feel better.

Love,

THIRSTY THURSDAY 💦🦶

Your heels called. They’re begging for hydration.

Dry? Cracked? Catching on the bedsheets like Velcro at 2am? Absolutely not on my watch.

Enter: THIRSTY Foot Balm ✨
The rich-girl robe of foot care.
Natural. Deeply nourishing. Smells DIVINE.
With a built-in natural exfoliant that buffs while it hydrates… because we love a multitasker.

It melts into the skin like butter at a spa retreat and leaves your feet feeling silky, soft, and suspiciously expensive.

Honestly, your heels are about to go from “survived winter” to “Greek goddess on holiday.”

And before anyone asks…
Yummy smell? Yes.
Snack? No. 😂

If you know, you KNOW.
If you don’t… get to know 👀

No cracked heels this summer please 🙏
Get yourself some THIRSTY 💦

DM to order 💌

Love,

CHANEL, I love you but WTF??? 😬

Half a shoe. Half your foot out. And a foot that hasn’t even had its MOT. We need to talk about this.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love fashion. I will defend a bold look like it’s my full-time job but this? This is giving zero support, zero logic, and just a sprinkle of chaos.

The feet are fine but they’re crying out for a little service and MOT before being sent down a runway like that.

AlsO, WHO is buying these?! Be honest. I need answers. Are we into this?? Drop your thoughts below because I am confused.

Very much “Devil Wears Chanel” energy right now 👠🔥

Anyway, I’ll recover. Eventually. Maybe.
But for now enjoy these because I genuinely cannot look away.

Love,

Part 2: Movement & Pain Assessment — The Stance Check 👣✨

You think you’re just “standing”… but your body is telling a whole story.

This is where we look at you in a natural stance — how your structure actually holds up when your full body weight is flowing through it. And trust me, things shift. Feet flatten, arches drop, knees rotate, hips compensate… it’s a quiet little domino effect happening right under your nose.

Here’s the wild part: what looks “normal” lying down or sitting can change completely when you stand. And those subtle changes? They’re often the hidden culprits behind your pain.

Most people have no idea their feet adapt this much under load… but when your entire body is balancing on them, it makes sense, right?

In this video, you’ll spot a few things you might even recognise in yourself 👀

And this is exactly why we assess it — because it gives us the clues we need before moving into the final piece: your gait (aka how you move through life step by step).

If something here has you thinking “wait… that’s me” — don’t ignore it.

Your body’s not being dramatic. It’s being honest.

Book in. Let’s figure it out 🤍

Love,
Emma-Jo

Patients: “Obsessed. One-stop shop? Yes please.” 🙌
Profession: “You’re downskilling… that’s a beautician’s job…” 🙄

Meanwhile me:
✨Still delivering safe, sterile care from start to finish.
✨Still putting patient wellbeing first.
✨Still giving them a service they were going to seek elsewhere anyway.

Only difference?
Now it’s all under one roof, done properly, with standards I trust.

Happy patient. Happy practitioner. Simple as that.

If it’s not kind or constructive… keep it moving.

Love,
Emma-Jo xo
