Connlaoth experienced a nasty clavicle fracture during a roll in BJJ. After months of NHS physio and self-rehab via youtube, he reached out to me and we got to work.

Connlaoth had one simple goal, he wanted to rebuild his shoulder to the point where he could withstand the demands of fight camp and take a fight

Our rehab started off very basic, rebuilding the stability and mobility in the shoulder. As we progressed we implemented a high level of plyometrics to ensure the shoulder was able to cope with the demands of such an intense sporting situation.

Connlaoth remained training all the way through his rehab, but we gave him specific instructions on what areas he could push hard, and what areas we needed to slowly reintegrate. This meant he was still developing his fight IQ and confditioninhg as we addressed the injury

After 4 months, he did his first BJJ comp back and said "I actually forgot I had a bad shoulder in there" a good sign his body was feeling confident in the area.

He then took a kickboxing match to test it in a stand up scenario. After winning this he was feeling really confident and took an MMA bout. He absolutely smashed that knocking his opponent out in just 30 seconds

Connlaoth has been an absolute grafter and has put serious effort into his training and rehab... it is no surprise he excelled the way he did

Too many of you still see cardio as the enemy ❌💨

You’ve been misled into thinking that a bit of aerobic work will make you catabolic and eat away your muscle tissue 🧬💪

This is blatantly untrue.

In fact, the evidence shows it’s extremely beneficial ✅
It improves mitochondrial function 🧠⚡
Enhances lactate clearance 💥🧽
And promotes recovery between sessions 🔄🛠️

All of this adds up to you being able to:
👉 Train harder
👉 Recover faster
👉 Stay in the game for the long haul ⏳🏋️

What’s more — just 30 minutes of Zone 2 cardio, 2–3× a week, has been shown to reduce your risk of heart disease by 14% ❤️📉

Health is wealth.
And your engine is the key to long-term performance 🔑🫀

If cardio is done right, it’s not a threat to your gains—it’s a tool to amplify them 🎯📈

Don’t let the gym bros convince you otherwise 🧢🤡

Struggling to see the progress you want?
Need a plan designed to keep you training hard for the long term?

Most people don’t outgrow their training — their body just stops tolerating it.

You stick with what used to work: the same lifts, same rep schemes, same pace. And for a while, that’s fine… until progress halts, the aches creep in, and motivation drops.

The issue isn’t your effort — it’s your system.

Effective training in your 30s and 40s doesn’t look like what you did in your early 20s. The goal shifts from chasing PRs to building resilience. From beating yourself down… to building yourself up.

If you want to keep making progress without burning out, you need a more intelligent, adaptable approach — one built around you, not a cookie-cutter template.

That’s exactly what I offer.

If you’re ready to train smarter and build a body that lasts, DM me “REBUILD” or hit the link in my bio to book your free video consultation

Still grinding through pain and getting nowhere? 😤

Here’s the hard truth: your training style is stuck in the past. ⏳ What worked when you were 20 isn’t cutting it anymore. Training harder won’t fix chronic pain—it just makes it worse. 🔥

If you’re 25-40, juggling work, stress, and life, your body needs a smarter plan. 🧠 One that adapts to your lifestyle and external pressures. ⚖️

Stop chasing quick fixes like massages or foam rolling. 🚫 Pain is your body’s way of telling you to change the game. 🎯

It’s time to train smarter, not just harder. 💪

DM “CHANGE” if you’re ready to break the cycle and build a plan that actually works. 🚀

Constant hamstring strains?
Rebecca had them for years.

What actually fixed it?
Not stretching. Not massage.
But a proper assessment and targeted rehab.

Now she’s back training pain-free.

🚨 Don’t guess with your recovery.
DM “REHAB” to find the real problem.

Let’s be real for a minute. 🧠

You’re not actually pi**ed off about the pain from your injury. 😤

You’re pi**ed off about what it’s stopping you from doing:
💪 Training hard in the gym
🏋️‍♂️ Building muscle
📈 Getting stronger
🥇 Competing at your best

It’s not the pain itself — it’s the limitations. 🚫

It’s the feeling of falling behind. Of not living up to your potential. 😔

But here’s the truth:
It doesn’t have to be that way. ✅

You can keep making progress while rehabbing an injury. 🔄
You just need to understand one thing:

Where is the line? ⚖️

That invisible point where a training stimulus switches from being productive…
To being a setback. 🚧

Most people have no idea where that line is. 🤷‍♂️
Instead, they chase:
🔥 Soreness
💦 Sweat
💥 Intensity

As if that’s what progress looks like.

But that mindset? 🧱
It’s the reason you keep ending up in pain. 😣

If you want real results — and to stay out of pain — you need a mindset shift:

🛑 Stop asking “How hard can I push?”
✅ Start asking “What’s the minimum effective dose I need to grow?”

This shift will transform your training. 🔄💥

Still not sure how to make it work? 🤔

Let’s talk. 🗣️
I’ve helped hundreds of people get out of pain and back to training on their terms. 🏋️‍♀️➡️💪

You would build a race car without giving it a good going over first

You'd make sure the wheels were tight, the oil was changed and the brakes are good

Seems logical right?

So why don't you do the same with your body?

One of the biggest downfalls I see with people is going from 0-100 as soon as they start training

Doing a preparation phase before chasing your performance goals is like a cheat code to minimise injury, train harder, and continue training for longer

Key metrics I look to improve in the preparation phase
➡ Movement quality
➡ Stability
➡ Sleep hygiene
➡ Blood presure
➡ Nervous system regulation/breathing

Getting these metrics in order guarantee you the best chance of success when you ramp up your training

This is exactly what the RESET phase of my R3 system is all about. Creating a solid foundation that you can build unstoppable performance from

There are 2 types of gym goer in the world

Which are you?

08/04/2025

Craydon had been dealing with a few lower back issues that would flare up from time to time

This was starting to interfere with his work, and his ability to ride his enduro bike

With him running his own business as a bricklayer, he couldn't afford to be taking time off and needed his back fixed!!

After being extremely disappointed with his experiences with other therapists, he reached out to me to see how I could help

Craydon is a keen gym goer, so alongside some osteopathy treatment, we give him structured exercises he could add into his routine

He is now able to work as much as he wants without the fear of his back flaring up

If you are struggling with an injury and have been let down by previous therapists, send me a DM today to find out why my rehab packages get the results you want when others have failed

Shiv has been dealing with on and off low back pain for years

Every now and again it would flare up, impact her ability to train for a few weeks, but would subside after a few massage sessions

However, this flare up hit different. It didn't respond to manual therapy the way it normally does.

Shiv had tried a few massage sessions, but didn't get much relief. And with her moving to Australia in the next few weeks, she wanted this sorted... fast!!

After her initial assessment we identified a few key areas which where causing her to keep getting the flare ups.

Initially, our goal was to reduce the symptoms so she could function better in the short term. From here we built out a plan to get her back under the barbell, and build future resiliency to the injury

If you are like Shiv and have been plagued with 'on and off' back pain, and want to find a long term solution, send me a DM and lets have a chat

Alex came to me with severe pelvic pain that was impacting his ability to train, work, and enjoy the simple things in life

He was in constant agony throughout the day, and after seeing several other therpaists he was beginning to lose hope

On our initial assessment we were able to identify a reliving position. This was found by playing about with various pelvic positions based on biomechanics principles. When we found the relieving position, the pain completely disappeared instantly (something Alex hadn't experienced in months)

This didn't mean he was fixed, it just meant there was a clear biomechanics driver to his pain

We used this position as his 'go to reliever' during flare ups. This allowed us to control minimise the effects of the flare ups whilst we worked on improving his mechanics for a long term solution

Alex got out of pain and back doing the things he loved after a few months of working together

If you are struggling with an injury (even if you haven't had success with other therapists) and you want some help, send me a DM or book a consultation via the link in my bio and see how I can help

Aaron had been dealing with a few issues when we first started working together

He was experiencing issues in his hip, foot, and knees. This can be fairly common. As the mechanics of the body adapt due to painful stimulus, the pain can feel like it is bouncing around several areas

We focused a lot of our attention improving internal rotation at the hip with various drills alongside some manual therapy.

As this started to ease we focused a lot more attention own the knee and foot. We used a lot of heavy isometrics in the early stages and then moved into eccentric and concentric strategies

When we established a decent baseline of strength, we started working on plyo's and reintroducing running

Aaron is pretty much back training at full capacity and within the next month or so he should be back to 100%
