Tight back?
Lower back pain?

Using a foam roller can safely and effectively bring lasting relief.

Foam rollers are super-inexpensive and so useful for all kinds of mobility and stretching work.

Do this regularly to stay mobile and pain-free.

Here's a super-short video I've made to show you how.

You've seen the experts (or you're still waiting to.)

Sorry to nag but.
DO. THE. HOMEWORK.

I've lost count of the times I've spoken to people who have paid money to see an expert,

and then with a naughty schoolchild face admitted that they 'weren't doing the exercises set for them'.

We diagnose you, work out how to help, and teach you what to do
- we start you off,

but ultimately - it's you, and the time you put in afterwards that will get you better.

You have to do it - there's no way around it.
Otherwise, you just won't get better as fast as or well as you should.

And if it's MY patient.
I would know.

They wouldn't have to tell me.
I'd see it in their lack of progress.

Here's me nagging you about that in a video :)

In case you needed a little kick up the bum.

😡 https://wiseandgorgeous.lpages.co/do-the-homework/ 😡

Definitely don't watch it if you don't want to be nagged at!

I hope the video is useful to you.

To your excellent health,

Amy Linford.

(Amy here - Neurological Specialist Physio)

🌟 Don't Believe the Nonsense! 🌟

Ever heard the saying "Those who can do - those who can't teach"? Utter nonsense, if you ask me.

I've been privileged to learn from incredible teachers, especially during my Ph.D. studies. The best in any field understand that learning is a lifelong duty, and passing on knowledge is essential.

In the world of science, this duty is even more critical.
Every breakthrough pushes the entire community forward.

That's why I believe teachers of all kinds are our most precious assets. And if you're a teacher yourself, that definitely includes you.

I make teaching an integral part of my practice.
Understanding why pain occurs and how to prevent it is just as important as any treatment.

Scientists hold a special place in my heart.
I've had the joy of discussing science with patients like Lucy (fellow nerd - she won't mind me saying that), and it's always a treat.

When you visit me, expect more than just a quick fix.
I'll equip you with the knowledge to lead a pain-free life, tailored to your interest in the science behind it.

And if you're curious about pain-free back care, grab my free eBook - it's packed with valuable insights!
(here https://wiseandgorgeous.lpages.co/back-care-ebook/)

If you need assistance with pain or anything related to feeling better, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to help! 💪

I hate to break it to you.

Everything you thought you knew about recovering from injuries... well...check for yourself in this little video

Do you remember Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate?
That isn't what we do these days.

That tends to SLOW DOWN healing.
I know, right?

If you want to know why - I've made a super quick video:

(Amy here)

Those that know me, know that I am a lover of logic.

While science is my jam - I'll be honest spellings can bamboozle me. Draught/draft/thought/yacht/got/through/threw/red/read/led/lead -
I'd rip up the dictionary and start again properly, if I had my way.

We just accept the nonsense - that's just the way it's done.
Sigh.
Silly English.

The way we place value on the things we spend money on, also intrigues me.

You've heard the story:
A man had a jammed machine.
He tried with all his might to fix it - literally tried everything... the thing wouldn't budge.
His patience was exhausted.

He employed a mechanic with decades of experience to come and fix it.

He took a good look at the machine, took out his hammer...tap-tap-tap - hazaa it was fixed.

When the mechanic gave the man the bill $10.10 bill, the man said: that much??
You only gave the machine 3 taps.

The mechanic said: It was 10 cents for the tapping - and $10 to know where to tap.

I know I am not the cheapest therapist around.
But you can be sure to be fixed in as few sessions as possible, with me.

It's not good value to see the chiropractor 20 times.
Or waste months of work in pain while you wait for a referral, only to arrive at the end of a long wait to be seen.

I literally know where to tap.

I'll value your time and respect your need to be back on your feet as soon as possible.

I have a list of people waiting, so it makes no sense to keep you coming back if you don't need to.

Allyson was the perfect patient, back doing the group exercise that she loves and free from the pain that was holding her back.

I can do that for you too.

In the meantime - have you downloaded the back care eBook I've written for you - totally free - for a healthy, pain-free back.

Whether or not it's giving you bother now.

I have to warn you - I have a zero-tolerance approach.

Homework is boring.
And I know when you haven't done it.

Usually, there are 101 other things you'd rather do.
I do understand that.

If you are recovering
from injury or illness (or will in the future) -
I want you to think of it as a team sport.

Your Team:
(it may have some or all of these members)

Your surgeon/doctor/consultant
GP
Nurses, nurse specialists
Physios, therapists, rehab specialists (like me)
and

YOU.

Of all the team members - YOU have to do most of the work.
You hold the key to getting better.

Everyone else plays their part;
diagnoses you,
treats you,
cares for you,
teaches you,
shows you what to do...

But ultimately - you have to do the homework.

And do you know what?

Most people don't.

After they are put in the best possible position for recovery,
from all that incredible medical learning and expertise -
people often just throw it all away.

They don't do their rehab exercises.
(And those are what make you better and stay pain-free).

Crazy really.

And yes, we know they are a bit repetitive, and they take a while - but they are the not-so-secret sauce to recovery.
They have been designed for you - and they work.

Your therapist/physio will absolutely know if you haven't done the homework.

Personally, I don't give second chances with this.

My patients will get better if they do what I ask.
If they won't do that - then my time is better spent with someone else.

No drama or hard feelings.

Alan did his homework.
He got better.
He's happily back in the gym again.

Be like Alan.

Do you like drugs?

As a neurology PhD student - I am a bit obsessed with what's going on in your brain - especially where exercise is concerned (all my favourite thngs at once).

You may have heard: serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
These are the 'feel good' chemicals.

Pretty soon after you start an exercise session, your brain releases them into your bloodstream.

You get the hit of a completely legal chemical high that makes you feel fantastic.

And if you keep at it, you'll also look fantastic, which is a pretty cool side effect.

(Pretty much the direct opposite effect of the kind you get arrested for, which will make you look awful. Especially in that prison jumpsuit)

if you've got a ni**le or an injury - your body is going to try and keep you safe.

- Uh Oh.
- PAIN

It's your brain's way of trying to keep you still and stop you from doing any more damage.

But sometimes it gets its wires crossed.

Rehab is often about teaching your brain and your body - that it's OK to start moving again.

Safely - and regularly.

If back pain is getting in the way of you getting those lovely healthy feel-good drugs, and stopping YOU in your tracks
..definitely download my little ebook to get started.

And if there are any other wires I can help you get uncrossed, drop me a message and we can puzzle it out.
