Pain Free Start

19/05/2026

Today it finally arrived! My certificate for my understanding nutrition in health course 🥳

I’ve always had a passion for nutrition and health. It all started years ago when I watched Doctor in the House with Dr Rangan Chatterjee. I was fascinated watching people struggling with skin complaints, gut problems, headaches, depression, diabetes and many other health conditions, only to discover how much improvement could come from personalised nutrition and lifestyle changes.

As a physio, I see first-hand the impact nutrition can have on health, recovery, energy levels and overall wellbeing. It’s something I’ve become incredibly passionate about, because so many people underestimate just how powerful the right nutrition and lifestyle changes can be. That’s why 6 months ago I enrolled in an understanding nutrition in health course. I’ve learnt so much and it has just fuelled my passion even more.

So today feels like a real full-circle moment.

This morning my qualification arrived in the post, and now I’m heading to the airport to spend time with an inspiring group of professionals who are equally passionate about nutrition, health and helping people thrive.
I’ll be joining an incredible community of dentists, doctors, opticians, beauticians, aesthetics practitioners, coaches, fitness instructors, physios and other health and wellness professionals - all committed to learning, growing and sharing knowledge to help improve people’s lives. The calibre, positivity and passion within this group is genuinely inspiring, and I feel very grateful to be part of it.

Marbella, here we come ✈️☀️

I listened to a brilliant podcast from Mel Robbins while I was at the gym this week… which felt quite fitting really because I was working on both my body and my brain health at the same time 🧠💪

The episode talked about 5 key habits that research proves helps support brain health and healthy ageing using the simple acronym NEURO:

🟢 Nutrition
🟢 Exercise
🟢 Unwind
🟢 Restorative sleep
🟢 Optimise your brain

One of the biggest takeaways for me was this:

Your future brain health is not just down to genetics.
Your daily habits matter.

As a physio, I spend a lot of time helping people stay strong physically - but healthy ageing is about so much more than muscles and joints.

It’s also about:
✔️ movement
✔️ sleep
✔️ stress management
✔️ routine
✔️ purpose
✔️ learning
✔️ keeping both body and brain active

It got me thinking…

👉 What would your brain health score be?

This is actually something I include within my Strong For Life Assessment because I believe ageing well is about looking at the whole picture of health.

The response to these assessments has been amazing recently and they’re proving incredibly popular 😊

This is great advice!
Strength supports and off loads arthritic joints.
Build gradually and listen to your body it’s easy to flare things up if you stress the joints too much too soon. So many have tried exercises and flared things up but this doesn’t have to be the case.
If you want support and help with your arthritic joints then I would love to help and support you.

Plantar Fascia Pain (Plantar Fasciitis)- GONE
Nikki's 5 Star Google Review

Helen was fantastic right from my first email to her. I had been suffering with Plantar Fasciitis for some time to the point where I could nearly walk on a morning. On my first appointment Helen gave me a full assessment targeting a number of areas to work on, to not just resolve the initial problem but to help long term. I cannot recommend Helen enough & I'm so grateful for her help & expertise. I can now walk and play netball pain free again! :) Thank you Helen
