If your body is a machine and some of the wires are damaged, then the machine can never function as a whole.

Scars no matter how deep can modify the collagen to the point where instead of being a conductor of energy to all cells in the body, it becomes a barrier which blocks cellular communication.

This is why so many people feel like the pain has gone away after surgeries but feel like range of motion isn’t the same. Having these blockages can cause a number of knock on effects as well.

Good news is that using the machines I have, treating scars is a relatively simple treatment that is none invasive and causes little to no pain. Treating the scar tissue is about restoring the electrical potential and the reduction in restricted feeling and red lumpy skin is just a by product of this.

So far I have treated scars on knee replacement, shoulder surgery, C-sections, ankle surgeries, appendix removal and many more.

Any questions about your scars shoot me a DM.

This can be down to a number of reasons, but usually just muscles becoming tight over time or after an impact like rugby hit ect.

Always something to look at as imagine the toll it would take walking around with a slight limp all day everyday.

In this case it was coming from the neck/ shoulders and using the machine to treat it has such a huge range of benefits. Check out the second slide.

That sharp, shooting pain down the back of your leg isn’t just a muscle issue — it’s often linked to nerve compression, inflammation, and even how you breathe.

When breathing patterns are restricted (especially with stress or injury), muscles around the lower back, hips, and pelvis tense up.
This creates more pressure on the sciatic nerve — feeding the pain cycle.

If you suffer from chronic sciatic or any pain for that matter then it’s not going to be a quick rub down from a therapist and you’ll be on your way.

It’s going to take a combined response of hands on treatments and a couple of lifestyle changes to ease that muscle tension, get you moving better and calm down that nervous system to really “fix” the problem.

DM me if you suffer from any form of chronic pain and I’ll let you know what I can do to help you improve your symptoms.

Quite often I get asked the question of how I differ from a Physio/massage therapist ect and to be honest there is no straight answer as everyone is different in how they work.

Here is generally how I work as a neuromuscular therapist, I treat the person as a whole. I look at where the complaint is, where else/ what else could be triggering it and how best to over come it while being realistic with the clients needs and time.
There will be a lot of questions around home life, stress, diet, exercise, duration of complaint, other health issues etc.

For example a 40 year old woman with 3 kids, a full time job and a mortgage to pay, complaining of back pain is going to have a completely different treatment to say a 20 year old man who works part time, lives with their parents and injured their back playing rugby on the weekend.

Any questions send me a dm

Not really New Year’s resolutions but just a few things I want to try and work on this year and a few things I want to leave behind in 2024.

Everyone give New Year’s resolutions a bad rep but I think it’s good to have a few short term and long term goals in life, doesn’t have to be anything drastic but a small step in the right direction is always gonna be a bonus.

I feel us as a nation in Northern Ireland really just get stuck in a rut in life and this is where all the midlife crisis’ stem from. There’s nothing wrong with having ambitions and wanting to better yourself in any aspect of your live and we should be proud of anyone who wants to make a change for the better.

You don’t have to go mad and smash it out all of January and for it to be too big a change and then not stick to it, but break it up over a year, if it less screen time then cut down by a few min a week. By the end of the year you’ll barely use the phone.

Try writing down (preferably on paper) a few small achievable goals for 2024 and check in with them every so often and see how you’re getting on.

What’s you’s ins and outs for the new year?

Cold water therapy

As most people know cold water therapy has a host of benefits and every man and his brother is in to it these days which is a good thing.

But it’s only a good thing if you can remain calm while doing so. Cold water is a massive stress on the body and if you can’t stay calm and lower your heart rate during and after then you are probably causing more harm than good.

How you react to the cold water is how your body will react when a stressful situation comes about, shout and scream when the cold hits or even grit your teeth and fight it are not how it’s meant to be done. Let the initial shock pass and then slow down and accept the cold. This is what carries over in to daily life.

When going in to the cold
try slowing your breathing down even before you go in the water
inhale through the nose and then step in to the water, exhale through the mouth
Take your next 3 breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth
Now begin breathing only with your nose both on the inhale and exhale until you are fully in control of the breath.

Cold water is a great tool to use but it is certainly not for everyone, get your diet and sleep in check first then start with the cold.

Also the sea is always gonna be a lot better than a shower or ice bath.

New opening hours now the kids are back to school.

If you cannot find an appointment that suits, throw me a message and I’ll do my best to work something out for you.

Again emergency appointments are available and I will always try and get you in within 24 hours, just send me a message.

Huge thanks to everyone who has put their trust in me so far and are now reaping the rewards, living life to the full without pain holding them back.

Living with constant niggles and constant/ chronic pain is not normal no matter what age you are. Reach out and let’s see if we can work together to get you moving how the body was designed.

Last weekend at SUN LAND & SEA

Amazing weekend getting share my knowledge with others and learn more from

You don’t have to completely change your life but with a few small changes you can make such a difference to how you feel and perform everyday.

Whether it’s for health reasons, sports performance or just wanting you and your family to feel a little better, you can make a huge difference by implementing light, grounding and breath. All things that were talked about at last week’s workshop.

14/08/2024

Breathing should be through the nose, diaphragmatic, rhythmic and gently paused on the exhale.

If you:
Breathe through the mouth
Have upper chest movement
Hearing breathing during rest
Are frequently sighing
Are frequently yawning
Have paradoxical breathing
Have noticeable breathing movement during rest

Then you aren’t breathing in an optimal way.

But with a few tips and tricks and a small amount of time spent each day you really can make a huge difference which will have a positive effect on every aspect of your life.

Making the most of living on the north coast.

Straight out the door this morning and to the beach.

Quick dip for mum & dad and the kids played in the sand in their bare feet.

Took us about 15 min and we all have a much better start to the day, light first thing upon wakening and feet in the ground.

You don’t have to make it a whole event, just leave the house and be free for 10 min in the morning and see how much of a better day you have.

21/04/2024

New opening hours until the rugby season starts again.

I aim to try and see anyone with an emergency appointment within 24hours so just shoot me a message if you need to.
I can be flexible on times if these don’t suit, again just shoot me a message and we can try sort something out that works.
You can also find me on Tuesday mornings and Thursday evenings if you need sports massage.
