Dysfunction in the body builds up long before it tells you about it.

Pain is just a smoke signal for the underlying fire.

It’s hard (but not impossible) to put out once it’s lit.

So why not try and prevent that fire from lighting to begin with with some self love. The gift of getting adjusted.

Prevention over cure.

Getting adjusted allows your nervous system to feel safe, making it more resilient to the ever demanding stresses of life.

If it’s taken me 13 years of being a Chiropractor, and 40 years of life to connect the dots, then it wouldn’t be a surprise if you haven’t yet.

If you have already…I applaud you, you’re way ahead of the game.

I think if I wasn’t a chiropractor, over the years I could have easily thought there was something very wrong with my back, with the amount of times it’s left me feeling completely debilitated.

But the knowledge I have allows me to accept that it is purely mechanical and self limiting.

But fortunately, my back has been the best it’s been in years since I’ve actually started connecting those dots and doing something about them.

And I truly believe that is not a coincidence.

Obviously I am a huge advocate of Chiropractic, and over the years it has helped me tremendously, but it wasn’t until I started to address all my other ‘stuff’ that I stopped getting the real bad flares.

💫 Actively searching for things that bring me calm.

💫 Removing myself from relationships that cause my nervous system stress.

💫 Accepting my ‘Samisms’ as an ex boyfriend so kindly once told me I had.

💫 Saying no to things I don’t want to do.

💫 Prioritising good sleeping habits

💫 Reducing my alcohol intake.

💫 More recently, adjusting my work, to work with my cycle not against it, and creating a more sustainable life.

💫 Not pushing myself physically to my limits through exercise, punishing my body and calling it ‘health & fitness’.

💫 Being more in tune with what my body needs, not what my brain thinks it wants.

💫 A year of my own personal therapy with a Psychotherapist, alongside doing my Psychotherapy Diploma which is teaching me a lot about myself.

My mental health still has its ups and downs, the start of perimenopause has definitely been escalating my ADHD symptoms, but I’m finding new ways to manage that.

But considering I’m at the start of my journey, when I’ve had a lifetime of mental health issues, I will gladly take the wins I’ve had so far.

I hope my page helps you to connect the dots, and gives you some inspo that you CAN do more for you. That you deserve more. And hopefully my page will guide you to achieve more.

Please know that I say this with love 💗

Anything that causes long term stress to your nervous system is a part of the problem.

By not addressing the whole picture, those long lasting results that you want aren’t going to happen.

Chiropractic can help to soften the nervous system and make your body more resilient to the stresses of life…but it can’t get rid of those stresses.

I’m always happy to support you as much as you need, but unless you take ownership for all the other ‘stuff’ in your life, you won’t get the results that you deserve.

Let me introduce myself and my clinic.

I’m Sam Davies, and I’m ,
Chiropractor of 13 years and current Psychotherapy Student.

Here’s a little look at my gorgeous space in Stockport Town Centre, where I help people heal, reconnect mind and body, and optimise their health so they can function at their absolute best.

Once upon a time, I thought I wanted the big, busy dream, a thriving practice full of practitioners and therapists.

And for a while, I had that.

But over time, I realised it just wasn’t me. All the stress, responsibility and pressure led to burnout, overwhelm, and a disconnect from the version of health I want to promote.

That experience taught me what I do want.

And this is it.

A calm, simple space. Just me, doing what I love. A healing sanctuary that supports my nervous system as much as it supports yours.

I created this space over the past year after moving back to Stockport following 18 months of travelling. And I’m really proud of it.

No fuss. No frills. Just a grounded place to land, regulate and reset.

We spend so much of our lives in our work environments. Feeling safe, settled, and held in those spaces matters deeply.

That’s what I’ve tried to create here. And I hope you feel that when you walk through the door.

Any of my follicular phase girlies out here being wildly productive like they weren’t having an emotional breakdown this time last week? 🫠

Other than a minor blip in the form of a post-flight gastro bug that floored me on day one of my cycle (because of course it did)… the past two days have been nothing short of magic.

✅ Accounts: up to date�🧠 Blogs + newsletters: batched and scheduled�💆‍♀️ Patients: seen�☕️ BNI: attended

And somehow, I’ve even had capacity leftover, not burnout, not buzzing on stress, just actual grounded clarity.

I’m realising more and more that learning how to work with my cycle (instead of pretending it doesn’t affect me) is changing the game.

This post isn’t a celebration of being busy, it’s a celebration of starting to understand my body better, and using that understanding to plan for both productivity and rest.

Because in a couple of weeks, I’ll need to slow down again, and that’s not a failure, that’s the rhythm.

🌀 Here’s to syncing, not pushing.

How do you plan for productivity?

Sometimes you just have to be gentle with yourself to avoid the overwhelm which follows the guilt of physically and mentally not having the ability to do more.

Yesterday THIS helped me to ‘calm my chaos’ rather than pushing through like I normally would have tried.

I’m learning there is no point in pushing through, as all that will do is cause unnecessary stress and exhaustion.

Swipe and save 💾

These positions are gentle on the body so should be accessible even when you are in pain, and in fact may also help with pain management.

Though please be mindful during an acute flare up of lower back pain for instance. And those with hip/knee issues may struggle with the 90/90 and child’s pose positions.

Do what feels right for your body.

Also, becoming in tune with your cycle will really help you to manage the ebs and flows of the hormonal shifts. But if you’re struggling to ‘be’ in tune, I would highly recommend downloading a cycle tracking app so you can record what is going on.

Do you get ‘sticky hips’? Try these.

What do I mean by ‘sticky hips’?
�That tight, stuck, compressed feeling, like your hips just won’t move freely, especially after sitting, driving, or being stressed and tense.

Often it’s not just the hips, it’s everything through the front body.
�The hip flexors, quads, and the fascia around them (especially where they attach at the front of the pelvis) can get literally ‘gunked up’ and ‘stuck’ together, especially if you're spending lots of time sitting, stressed, or stuck in overthinking mode.

An overactive nervous system = chronic tension in these areas.
�And that tightness in the front body can be a huge contributor to back pain, because it stops your back body from being able to fully extend or switch on properly.

These movements are a way to gently release that tension, through fascia, muscle, and nervous system, without force.
�They’re simple, somatic, and nervous-system safe.
�Give your body permission to let go.

Benefits of releasing the front body fascia + muscles:
�• Freer hip mobility�• Less compression through the low back�• Better posture + spinal extension�• More connection with your body�• Reduced stored stress + tension

These videos are sped up, take your time with them.
�Aim for 1 minute per leg per movement, daily if you can.
�Move slow. Pause where it feels good. Breathe into it. Use your intuition.

And if you have a knee issues please consult your GP/practitioner beforehand, or have had a hip or knee replacement I would advise against.

Save this if you sit a lot, have low back pain, or feel stuck in your hips.

Are you an overthinker? Got a busy brain that never quite switches off?

You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not broken.

Whatever happens in the mind shows up in the body.

So if your thoughts are always racing, it’s no surprise if you also carry chronic tension, tight muscles or pain that just won’t shift.
As a chiropractor, I can help your nervous system feel safer.

Adjustments work like a gentle reset, calming things down, improving movement and helping your body cope better with what life’s throwing at you.

But here’s the truth...

I can’t change your busy mind.

I can’t take away the stress of your life.

I can support you, guide you, and advise on the things that do make a difference…breath, rest, sleep, hydration, boundaries, movement, nourishment.

But healing doesn’t just happen on the table.

It’s what you do between sessions that makes the real difference.

The more stress you’re under, or the less you’re able to support yourself, the more help your body might need from me. And that’s OK. We work with what’s real.

Does this sound like you?

✨ If your body’s holding the weight of your mind, I’d love to help.

Send me a message if this resonates.

If you’re going to do one thing today for yourself, let it be this…

Lay yourself back on a bolster.

Close your eyes.
Open your hips.
Open your heart.

Let your body sink.
Let your nervous system soften.
Let go of any tension you’ve been unconsciously holding all day.
Let go of any thoughts, past or future.

No forcing. No fixing. No expectations.
Just giving yourself permission to be.

Focus on deep, slow diaphragmatic breathing, belly expanding outwards on the breath in, and inwards on the breath out.

Not only will 5-10 mins of this daily help calm your nervous system.

It will also…

✨ Support digestion and immune function
✨ Regulate your stress hormones
✨ Soften tension in your hips, back and shoulders
✨ Mobilise through the joints in your upper back
✨ Improve your posture
✨ Help you feel more present in your body.

And here’s something else, when you open your chest, you’re not just improving your posture. You’re telling your body, ‘I’m safe. I can take up space.’

Posture and confidence are more connected than we realise.

So if you’re feeling tight, your mind’s feeling busy, or you’re just a bit off today. Try this. Your future self will thank you.

NB if you are currently experiencing an acute episode of pain, this one may not be for you today. Be gentle with yourself.

DM me for support.

Back at it after 5 weeks away in Thailand, with my batteries fully recharged.

Last year I didn’t have enough of myself to give to my business, as I took on an employed position at another clinic, to enable me to get a mortgage. I tried for a while to balance the two but found it increasingly difficult to really give it my all. It ticked over in the background, but ticking over was all I could manage.

Prior to going travelling back in 2022, I completely burnt out in business and in life…hence my decision to sell my business and travel.

I am starting to understand that these episodes which have happened periodically throughout my life are a symptom of ADHD, and now that I know what to look out for, I feel I can manage it better. Defo not a pro, but getting better.

Sooooo when I felt those symptoms creeping back in (in my case, severe overwhelm, anxiety, lethargy, apathy and depression) I did what I had to do and took a step back, which significantly improved my mental health.

But now I’m back, I have my mortgage, and I am ready to give my business and my studies significantly more of my energy.

So here I am, letting you know that I am back practicing and welcoming you in to my safe space.

But who am I and how can I help you?

I am , which encompasses both my passion for your health and my passion for travel.

There are two sides to my practice….

Not only am I, what I would call a Mind Body Chiropractor, focussing on that Mind-Body connection within my treatments to help facilitate your healing. I am also a Holistic Health & Wellness Coach, helping you to take autonomy over your own health and wellness, in order to help manage and alleviate things such as chronic pain, chronic stress and chronic health conditions.

I have a little space in Stockport where I offer my services, so if you feel like you need my help, please feel free to get in touch.

Much love 🫶
