A 2023 pub med paper ( PMCID: PMC10338069 PMID: 37448749) referenced 'different origins overlap each other' .

They paper went on to state: 'Somatic pain arises not only from pathologies primarily involving local tissues, but also from dysfunction in distant tissues, including spinal, neuromuscular, and other somatic structures'.

Paul Chek totem pole hits the nail on the head Unless the survival reflexes are addressed higher up the chain, the symptom will continue to return.

I work with chronic pain and injured clients on 3, 6 and 12 month programs in one to one tailor made programs in St.Helens, Merseyside and Sale, Manchester.

It’s important to repeat good quality movements or your technique will erode and you’ll perform sloppy movements automatically. Bad habits are very difficult to re-programme. It’s far easier to learn correctly from scratch rather than attempt to alter an undesirable automatic habit. In fact, in the book Motor Learning (1991) Dr Schmidt states that it takes approximately 300-500 repetitions to develop a new motor pattern. Conversely, once bad habits are in place, he states that it’ll take about 3000-5000 repetitions to re-write and correct a bad motor pattern. So concentrate on getting it right and keeping it right and you’ll progress 10-times faster.

Todays newsletter - Your feet are always talking to you; they have miraculous wisdom and guidance and reveal your health. Your sole and your soul are connected. Rather than manifest physical illness to hear what your soul is calling you to do, you could simply listen to your feet first -

Growing up in an Indian culture, you never wore shoes in the house, they were removed at the front door, and you went bare feet or wore slippers or socks in colder weather.

GANDI once said, "In the midst of darkness, light persists!"

You can not change your past, but you have a choice to change the present moment and the future.

From injury, sickness & disease, you can still rise. Maybe not in the way you planned, but there is always a way.

This tree from Macclesfield forest shows how the tree, although uprooted, finds a way to grow & shine.

Here are three powerful things I learned about myself during my two-year comprehensive Pilates course:

💪 I Am Stronger Than I Thought – Physically and mentally, I pushed past limits I didn’t even realize I had. Pilates taught me resilience, patience, and the power of consistency.

🧘‍♀️ Mind-Body Awareness is Transformative – I developed a deeper connection with my body, learning to move with intention, control, and grace. This awareness has improved not just my practice but my daily life.

🎓 I Love Helping Others Grow – Teaching and guiding others through their own Pilates journey brought me so much fulfilment. Seeing students progress and feel empowered reinforced my passion for this practice.

This journey was more than just training—it was self-discovery, growth, and transformation. ✨💖

A long, comprehensive Pilates course is far superior to a quick course for several key reasons:

🧠 Deeper Knowledge & Mastery – A longer course allows you to fully understand anatomy, biomechanics, and movement principles, ensuring you can teach safely and effectively.

💪 Stronger Personal Practice – More time means more practice, helping you refine your technique, build endurance, and truly embody Pilates principles.

🎓 Credibility & Career Opportunities – Studios and clients value well-trained instructors. A comprehensive certification makes you stand out in the industry and opens doors to better opportunities.

🤝 More Hands-On Experience – Longer training includes real-world teaching practice, mentorship, and feedback, giving you confidence and competence when working with clients.

🛡️ Injury Prevention & Client Safety – Rushing through training can lead to poor instruction and potential injuries. A thorough course ensures you understand modifications, progressions, and safe cueing.

In short, investing in a comprehensive Pilates course sets you up for long-term success, both as a practitioner and an instructor. 🏆💖
