💪 Tendon pain that just won’t quit? Let’s talk about it.

Whether it’s that nagging ache in your shoulder or a sharp twinge in your heel when you take your first steps in the morning — you might be dealing with tendinopathy.

At Thrive Body Clinic, we see this all the time — especially in people trying to stay active while juggling busy lives. The two classic culprits?

👉 Biceps tendinopathy – pain at the front of the shoulder that flares when you reach or lift.
👉 Achilles tendinopathy – heel or calf pain that’s worst in the morning or after activity.

The tricky thing about tendinopathy is that it often lingers. Rest alone rarely fixes it, and doing too much too soon can make it worse.

That’s why treatment focuses on restoring balance — not just calming pain.

In our latest blog, we break down:
✅ What causes biceps and Achilles tendinopathy
✅ Why rest alone doesn’t work
✅ How osteopathic treatment supports tendon recovery
✅ What you can do at home to keep progress going

If you’ve been frustrated by ongoing shoulder or heel pain and just want to move freely again, this one’s for you.

And remember — your body can heal. With the right guidance, patience, and movement, you’ll be back to doing the things you love.

💭 Feeling tired but still want to stay active?

You’re not alone. Many of my patients (and me, recently!) hit a wall where energy dips, motivation fades, and the idea of moving more feels too much.

I’ve just had a week off social media myself because I was feeling jaded — and honestly, it gave me the headspace I needed to reset. I got back to the gym, started eating better, and remembered that sometimes, rest is part of progress.

That inspired my latest blog:
👉 3 Tips for Keeping Active When You’re Low on Energy
Inside, I share:
✅ How to balance rest and movement
✅ Simple, low-effort ways to keep your body mobile
✅ Why mindset is key to breaking the burnout cycle

If you’ve been feeling exhausted or “stuck in neutral”, this one’s for you. Small steps really can make a big difference.

💭 Do you ever catch yourself being your own worst critic?

That little inner voice that says:
👉 “You’ll just give up again.”
👉 “You’re not good enough.”
👉 “Why bother starting?”

The truth is, self-talk shapes how we feel, act, and even the results we get. If your inner dialogue is full of doubt or negativity, it’s no wonder motivation feels like a struggle.

But here’s the good news — self-talk isn’t fixed. You can retrain your brain to build positivity, consistency, and momentum. And you don’t need complicated hacks or systems to do it.

This week on the Thrive with Momentum blog, I’ve written about:
✨ How negative self-talk keeps you stuck
✨ Simple techniques to shift your inner dialogue
✨ Practical ways to build confidence and stay consistent

If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding yourself back, this one’s for you.

🌟 Chronic Pain: Why Support Is More Than Just Pills 🌟

Living with pain every day is draining — physically and emotionally. Pills may take the edge off, but they don’t retrain your nervous system, improve movement, or give you back confidence in your body.

At Thrive Body Clinic, we know chronic pain isn’t “all in your head” — it’s a complex mix of sensitive nerves, pain memory, and the emotional weight that comes with it.

That’s why our approach is about more than just quick fixes. With gentle hands-on treatment, movement guidance, and compassionate support, we help you break the cycle and start moving forward again. 💪

💥 Life will knock you down sometimes… but what matters most is how you bounce back. 💥

That’s the essence of emotional resilience – the ability to stay calm under pressure, adapt when things don’t go to plan, and come back stronger after setbacks.

The good news? Resilience isn’t something you’re either born with or without. It’s a skill you can build – just like a muscle. And the stronger it gets, the easier it becomes to handle life’s challenges without losing your focus, confidence, or drive.

In this week’s blog, I’m diving into:
✅ What emotional resilience really is
✅ Why it matters for your success and well-being
✅ Simple, practical steps you can take to strengthen it

If you’ve ever felt like stress, setbacks, or self-doubt have kept you stuck… this one’s for you.

🔥 Inflammation vs Injury: What’s the Difference? 🔥

One of the most common questions I hear in clinic is:
👉 “Is my pain from an injury… or is it just inflammation?”

It can be confusing, because the two often overlap — but understanding the difference is key to knowing how to recover properly and when to seek help.

In my latest Pain Explained blog post, I break down:
✔️ How inflammation and injury are connected (but not the same thing)
✔️ Signs that point to one over the other
✔️ Why managing inflammation is just as important as treating injuries
✔️ How osteopathy can support your healing and recovery

If you’ve ever wondered why your pain lingers or keeps coming back, this one’s for you.

🚀 Are you holding yourself back without even realizing it?

We all set goals with the best intentions… but then the excuses, delays, and distractions creep in. That pattern is called self-sabotage — and it’s way more common than you think.

The good news? There’s a simple 3-step technique you can use to break the cycle:
👉 Name it – catch yourself in the act.
👉 Frame it – shift how you see what’s really going on.
👉 Do one small thing – take the tiniest step forward and build momentum.

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about rewiring your brain to act, even when your old habits try to pull you back.

I’ve written a full blog on this:
“A Simple Technique to Overcome Self-Sabotage and Build Momentum”
