That ni**le isn’t mental toughness. It’s a warning.

In running culture, “pushing through pain” is worn like a badge of honour. Athletes think ignoring a ni**le makes them tough, but all they’re really doing is ignoring their body’s early warning system. They’re choosing a direct route to a serious, long-term injury.

Our philosophy is that the toughest athletes are the smartest ones. True resilience isn’t about ignoring signals; it’s about having the wisdom to listen and adapt. Elite runners don’t just push through; they manage load, monitor readiness, and prioritise consistency over one heroic, painful run.

When I work with a runner, we immediately reframe this conversation. Instead of “can I push through this?”, we ask “what is this ni**le telling me?”.

I teach my clients how to interpret their body’s feedback so they can build a genuinely robust foundation, adapting their training to prevent injury before it happens. You become the pilot of your own body, not just a passenger waiting for a crash.

💬 Ready to stop the push-break-rehab cycle? DM me “NIGGLE” and we can chat about building a smarter, more resilient you.

Getting back to the freedom of running.

For months, that feeling was just a memory for Megan. She saw multiple physios and got told it was “just tight muscles.” But the pain never went, and worse, the joy disappeared too.

That’s where Proflex shifts the story. 💡

We don’t accept “just tight muscles” as a diagnosis. We believe in finding the TRUE root cause—the lack of control and coordination that was keeping her stuck. We didn’t just throw exercises at the problem; we rebuilt her strength, her movement, and most importantly, her belief in her body’s potential by using the exact step-by-step process you can see when you swipe through this post.

Now? Megan’s back on the road. Pain-free, powerful, and seeing her body as resilient, not restricted. Working her way back up to miles she used to push.

If you’re a runner who’s lost trust in your body or in the advice you’ve been given, we can offer you a solution

Work with us in-clinic at our Manchester clinic or via our soon to be online coaching programme, the results will be same.

We’ve all been this runner, right? 😅

Ignoring the service lights, the funny noises, and the smoke... pretending everything is fine until the whole car breaks down on the side of the road.

As a physio, I can tell you that “running through it” is the worst maintenance plan you can have. Those aren’t signs of toughness; they’re clear warnings from your engine.

Let’s do the service before you’re stranded.
My new online coaching program is designed to be your expert mechanic, building you a bulletproof engine that’s ready for anything.

You can put in all the work in the world, but if your training lacks structure, you’ll always be one step away from a ni**le or an injury. Matt came to us with chronic ankle pain, and we didn’t just look at the ankle. We looked at the whole system.

We believe that every part of your training should have a purpose. From the glute isometrics to the loaded eccentrics, every exercise was a strategic step towards getting him back on the road, pain-free. This is just one of the hundreds of results we get with our in-person clients—and the same proven principles we use in the clinic are what we apply for our online coaching too.

It’s about empowering you to train with confidence and finally unlock your true potential.

If you’re ready to stop training aimlessly and finally build a plan with purpose, whether it’s in-person at our Manchester clinic or through our online coaching program, DM me the word STRUCTURE to learn how we can help.

Stop attacking your IT Band. It’s not the problem‼️

Most runners are told to hammer their IT band with a foam roller, believing they can “release” or “lengthen” it. This searing pain is seen as a necessary evil for progress. The truth? You’re just irritating an already overloaded tissue and completely missing the root cause.

At Proflex, we know ITB pain is an alarm bell, not the fire. It’s a symptom of a “hip problem” — usually weakness and poor control from the muscles that stabilise your pelvis. Chasing the pain with a roller is a distraction from building a real solution.

So, when I work with my clients whether online or those who come through the doors, we put the foam roller away. The first thing we do is identify the specific weakness in your hips, and then we get to work loading and strengthening it. We build resilience from the ground up, because a truly bulletproof body is built, not just rolled.

💬 Tired of fighting a battle you can’t win against your IT band? DM me “ITB” and let’s talk about what building real strength looks like.

That constant “tight” feeling in your hamstrings that you’ve been stretching for years? It has almost nothing to do with flexibility.

It’s a protective response. You’re feeling your nervous system slam on the brakes because it fundamentally doesn’t trust your hamstrings to be strong and stable when they’re lengthened. Chasing it with more static stretching is like screaming at a car alarm instead of finding out why it’s going off.

For the clients who walk through my doors, this is one of the most common and frustrating issues I see. Athletes are stuck in a cycle of stretch-run-tighten-repeat, getting absolutely nowhere because they’re treating the symptom, not the root cause.
This is why my approach with clients is the complete opposite.

We immediately ditch the endless passive stretching. Instead, we teach the hamstring that it’s safe to be both long AND strong. We load it intelligently, build its capacity to absorb force, and prove to the nervous system that it can finally, finally take the brakes off for good.

💬 Recognise this cycle? If you’re done stretching and ready to build a real solution, DM me “HAMSTRING” and let’s talk about what that looks like.

That ‘random’ twist wasn’t random at all. 🤦‍♂️

We’ve all been there. “My knee just gave out for no reason!” “I just woke up with this pain!” But as a physio, I’m here to tell you: your body doesn’t just spontaneously combust.

Injuries are caused, not caught. They’re often the final straw that exposes a lack of resilience or a weak foundation.

Let’s stop pretending our bodies are unpredictable. If you’re building a house on sand, eventually it’s going to crumble. Your running body is no different.

Ready to stop gambling with your body and build a truly bulletproof foundation? DM me ‘INSIDER’ to get on the list for my new online coaching program.

When you’re meticulously tracking every running metric... except the one that actually matters for performance and injury prevention. 😬

Hands up if this is you! 🙋‍♂️ We get so caught up in pace, mileage, and all the fancy GPS watch data, that we completely overlook the #1 pillar of recovery: SLEEP.

As your physio-coach, I’ve seen countless runners pushing their limits with epic training plans, only to be constantly battling fatigue, tightness, and ni**les because their foundations of sleep are non-existent.

Running hard on 5-6 hours a night isn’t building a bulletproof runner; it’s actively making you fragile and setting you up for injury. Your body heals, adapts, and builds resilience while you sleep. Neglect it, and you’re leaving performance on the table and opening the door to pain.

It’s time to make sleep your secret weapon.
💬 What’s the wildest thing you’ve sacrificed sleep for (that you now regret)? Share below! And if you’re ready to make sleep a priority for performance, DM me “SLEEP HACKS.”
