Your body isn’t broken.

It’s responding to the demands placed on it, work, stress, sleep (or lack of it), movement, rest, emotional load, and everything life asks of you day to day.
Pain, stiffness, tension, and fatigue aren’t signs of failure. They’re signals. Messages that something needs adjusting, supporting, or understanding, not pushing through or ignoring.
When those signals are met with the right support, things can change.
Support changes outcomes.
That support might look like clearer understanding of what’s going on, small lifestyle adjustments, kinder movement, or hands-on care that helps your body feel safer and more capable again.
You don’t need to “just live with it”.
And you don’t need to do everything perfectly.
Sometimes, a little support goes a long way.

The truth about why pushing through pain isn’t working for you.

Pain doesn’t resolve through force.
It resolves through understanding, appropriate load, and support.
Ignoring it usually keeps people stuck longer.

Sneak peek

This is me between appointments, at my computer, putting together individual movement plans for patients, plans that fit real lives, not generic templates.
Every plan is tailored around how someone moves, works, rests, and copes day to day, so progress feels achievable rather than overwhelming.
I love helping people move with more confidence, less pain, and better understanding, that’s always the goal.

Let me introduce myself.

I’m Alister, an osteopath with over 16 years’ experience, working with people who want to move better, feel stronger, and understand their bodies rather than fight them. I'm a dad, dog dad and husband too. I also volunteer with LGBTQ+ Project here in Norfolk.
My approach is calm, practical, and person-centred. No scare tactics. No quick fixes. Just thoughtful care, tailored to you.
If pain or injury has been holding you back, you don’t have to manage it alone.

Over the years, I’ve simplified my approach to pain and recovery.
Not by doing less care, but by doing less unnecessary complexity.
Pain is rarely fixed by one technique, one exercise, or one “perfect” plan. It improves when people feel listened to, supported, and confident to move again.
Simple explanations.
Clear plans.
Kind movement.
That’s what changes outcomes.

If your body has been asking for support, this is your chance to listen.
Whether you’re dealing with pain, stiffness, a recurring ni**le, or you simply don’t feel like yourself in your body right now, getting in sooner rather than later can make all the difference.
You don’t need to push through.
You don’t need to wait until it’s unbearable.
New and returning patients are very welcome.
I take a calm, thorough approach, looking at how your body moves, how life is loading it day to day, and what support will actually help you move forward with more confidence and less pain.

Here’s one tip to achieve better movement this year:
Stop chasing perfection.
Start choosing consistency.

So many people believe they need the perfect plan to move well, the perfect workout, the perfect routine, the perfect amount of time and energy. When life inevitably gets busy, that all-or-nothing mindset often leads to doing nothing at all.
News Flash bodies don’t improve through perfection.
They improve through regular, manageable input.
Consistent movement, even in small amounts, helps your body build strength, confidence, and resilience. It reduces stiffness, supports recovery, and makes movement feel safer over time. And importantly, it fits into real life.
That might look like a short walk most days rather than one intense session a week. It might be gentle mobility on the floor instead of a full workout. It might be choosing movement that supports how your body feels today, not how you think it should feel.
Your body responds far better to what you do consistently than to what you do occasionally and perfectly.
If pain, stiffness, or injury has made movement feel difficult or uncertain, that’s often the missing piece. With the right support, a clear plan, and an understanding of what your body needs, consistency becomes possible again.
Your body will thank you for it.

Spaces still available for January. If you want support moving with more ease and confidence this year, book an appointment via my website.

The reason so many people feel stuck in pain is because they were told to “just live with it.”
I hear this all the time in clinic.
People are told their pain is “normal for their age”, that it’s something they’ll have to manage forever, or that nothing more can be done. Over time, they stop asking questions. They stop trusting their bodies. They quietly adapt their lives around pain instead of being supported through it.
Pain doesn’t always mean damage, and it certainly doesn’t mean you’ve failed or you should accept it.
Pain is complex. It’s influenced by movement, workload, stress, sleep, previous injury, fear, and how safe your body feels. When those things aren’t explored properly, people stay stuck, not because they’re weak, but because they weren’t given the support they needed.
Support changes outcomes. That support might look like understanding why your symptoms keep returning, rebuilding confidence in movement, addressing how your body is coping day-to-day, and having a clear plan rather than vague reassurance.
You don’t have to “just live with it, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
If pain is limiting how you move, work, rest, or enjoy life, it’s worth being listened to.

January doesn’t need more punishment, it needs more kindness.

The Move Kindly Challenge is about letting go of guilt-based fitness and choosing movement that actually supports your body.
You don’t need to earn rest.
You don’t need to push through pain.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to move in a way that feels good and sustainable.
And if pain or injury is getting in the way, that’s where I can help.

Appointments available this week, visit my website to book online.

Trivia time

Did you know pain doesn’t always equal damage?
Your nervous system, stress levels, sleep, and workload all play a role in how pain shows up.
That’s why I look at the whole picture, not just the sore bit.

Imagine getting rid of your pain for good. Waking up refreshed and ready to take on the day without grabbing the painkillers first.
