Last week, I had the honour of being the alumni speaker at one of the University of Salford's graduation ceremonies.

It seems like only yesterday since I graduated.

Thank you for having me and good luck to all the new graduates!

Long-form video coming soon!

This short video covers the curvature of the spine and its relationship to low back pain. There is no definitive answer as to whether a flatter back or a pronounced lumbar curve directly causes back pain. It’s a multifactorial issue that requires a holistic approach to understand. Below are the papers referenced in the video, and I look forward to addressing any questions you may have.

Note: There is always conflicting data on topics like this, and it ultimately depends on the individual case. We avoid making blanket statements, as each patient is unique. Some of my insights are evidence-based, while others are drawn from my experience as a Graduate Sport Rehabilitator in clinical settings.

Someone's been in the wars today. Had us both a little worried but he'll be fine, although a bit mardy.

Three hours later, and Darth Vader's chin is finally taking shape! 🛠️ Taking some time away from work to dive into creativity and give my mind a break. Sometimes, stepping back and focusing on something entirely different is the best way to recharge. 😅

"Here's a fascinating fact: the word 'diet' actually comes from the Greek diaita, which means 'way of life' or 'lifestyle.' 🌿 Originally, a diet wasn’t just about food—it encompassed a whole approach to living well. This ancient concept reminds us that wellness is not just about what’s on our plate but also about how we live day-to-day.

Instead of focusing solely on eating restrictions or quick fixes, let's try to embrace a more comprehensive view. This means integrating nutritious foods, regular exercise, adequate rest, and stress management into our lives. 🥗🏃‍♀️🛌

By adopting this balanced approach, we honour the true meaning of 'diet' and cultivate lasting health and happiness. 💫 "
