Most people assume surgery means the issue is fixed.
And once you’re cleared at six weeks, you’re done.

But that timeline only accounts for tissue healing.
It doesn’t reflect your biomechanics, compensations, nervous system response, or how pain has affected your movement habits.

As an osteopath, I see this all the time:
✅ You’re told you’re fine…
😣 But walking still feels awkward.
✅ You’re “pain-free”…
😫 But you’re still avoiding stairs or squats.
✅ The scar has healed…
🥴 But now your back has started hurting.

Why does this happen?
Because no one has addressed:
- The muscle imbalances that developed during compensation
- The breathing and bracing patterns that changed after surgery
- The nervous system still trying to protect the area
- Long-term fear of movement that hasn’t been unpacked

Surgery is just one step in the process.
Recovery isn’t just about healing the tissue. It’s about retraining the body and building back confidence.

If you’ve had knee or back surgery and something still feels off, you’re not imagining it.
Even if it’s been many years since the surgery.

“This is NUTS 😮…”

You’re sitting fine at your desk…
But as soon as you squat, go downstairs, or hike with friends…
Boom. Your knee reminds you who’s boss.

It’s not always sharp.
Sometimes it’s just this dull, nagging tightness.
A weird catch or click.
Like your knee’s got trust issues.

And here’s the weirdest part..

Most of the time…
It’s not even the knee’s fault.

It’s your body compensating for something else:
🧠 Nerve tension from the back or hip
🦵 Quads overworking to protect instability
🥴 Poor control from the ankle or glutes
👎 And bad habits from sitting 40+ hours a week

So yeah…
Stretching your quads or rolling your IT band might feel like you’re doing something ‘positive’.
But that’s like blaming your knee for struggling, when it’s been picking up the slack for everything else you’ve neglected.

If you’re training through it, hoping it’ll magically go away…

💥 Stop.

There is a way to make your body’s movement system better so that the pain doesn’t keep screaming.
To take pressure off the joint and actually make it feel like a normal knee again.

I’ve worked with people who thought their knees were done for,
Now they’re rolling, squatting, and moving better than before. Yes, even hiking DOWNHILL.

If your knee’s been “just not right” for weeks…

Let’s talk, book you in and get that knee better.

So many people I see are still carrying the story of their pain..
Even after the injuries have healed.

They believe they “have a bad back” because of what happened years ago…
But what if you’re not stuck, just stuck thinking you are?

The nervous system is built to change.
It just needs the right message and a bit of consistency.

I’ve worked with so many people who felt like their pain had become part of their personality.

The truth is: growth isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes it starts with a walk. Or picking something up again without fear.

The fear keeps your nervous system locked in ‘alarm mode’…
our treatments help release those brakes, so your body can start feeling safe to move again.

It works like this:
Release brakes > more movement > healthier tissues > less pain

Unfortunately the ‘releasing brakes’ bit is not possible to accomplish with stretching and hammering out workouts alone.
I wish it was.

If you’re ready to rewrite the story of your back pain, I’d love to help you do that.

Want to know what ACTUALLY matters for healing?

Not avoiding all movement.
Not waiting for pain to disappear completely.
Not accepting limitations as permanent.

It’s your body’s ability to feel SAFE and SUPPORTED.
That’s it.

And you know what destroys that sense of safety faster than anything?
Trying to follow generic advice that doesn’t fit your specific situation.

Think about it: Active people being told to “just rest”… Busy parents avoiding playing with their kids because of pain fears...
Workers staying hunched over desks because “movement might make it worse”…
It’s a recipe for getting weaker and more fearful.

I want to help you build confidence in your body again.
It starts with understanding what YOUR body actually needs.

Ready to move beyond fear-based advice?

Tell me what approaches you’ve tried that:
Made things worse
Helped temporarily
You’re still curious about
And I’ll help you find what actually works for your situation.

Shuk was DEVASTATED because her knee pain had stolen her life.

The hospital consultant told her injections and surgery were her only hope.

She couldn’t walk without agony. She missed her own son’s wedding.

But when we worked together... Everything changed:
• Pain completely disappeared
• Walking became effortless again
• Confidence returned
• Life resumed

The “inevitable” surgery? She didn’t need it.
Here’s what that consultant didn’t tell Shuk:

Her body was growing extra bone to try to stabilize her knee joint...
But we could do that job BETTER through targeted strength training.

When her muscles learned to properly support and stabilize her knee, her body felt safe again.

This is why in my practice: We don’t just accept “wear and tear” as your fate.
We teach your body to support itself so well that pain becomes unnecessary.

Because sometimes the solution isn’t more medical intervention... It’s giving your body the stability it’s been desperately trying to create.

Ready to explore what’s possible beyond injections and surgery? Let’s talk about what your body might actually need.

For years, I felt like no one was really listening to me.

Every time I went to the doctor with my back pain, I’d leave with stronger painkillers or another referral for a scan.

But nothing ever changed.

When I asked if anything could fix the problem, I was told to “keep active” or “try yoga”…
No one really explained why my back kept flaring up every time I stood too long or lifted something off the floor.

So, like most people, I went searching for answers.

I tried:

❌ Heat pads
❌ TENS machines
❌ Stretches from YouTube
❌ A standing desk
❌ A new mattress

Still the pain would come back - dull, stiff, sharp - depending on the day.

Then one day, someone explained something I’d never heard before:

That a disc herniation isn’t always a life sentence.

That the pain I was feeling wasn’t because I was “broken”…
But because my nervous system had been stuck in protection mode for too long.

And that with the right kind of hands-on treatment and movement guidance, things could actually change.

They didn’t try to “click” me back into place or push me into brutal exercises.

They looked at how I moved.
Where I was compensating.
And gave me simple, specific things to try, not a generic rehab plan or a list of stretches.

And over time, things started to shift.

✅ I stopped waking up with that deep ache in my lower back
✅ I could sit through a whole film without fidgeting
✅ I got back to training, without fear of “messing it up again”
✅ And the scariest symptom, the feeling like my back could “go” at any second, it disappeared

I won’t say it was instant.

But this is the first time I’ve felt in control of my back, instead of at war with it.

If you’ve been told it’s just wear and tear…
If you’ve been chasing relief without getting any real answers…
Just know: There’s more to your back pain than a scan can show.

And more than one way to help your body heal.

“I just want my neck to feel like it did 10 years ago.”

I hear this a lot. And I get it.

But chasing the way your body used to feel is one of the main reasons you’re still stuck in pain.

Your life back then was different.
Less stress. Less screen time. Different training. Maybe even better sleep.

Trying to force your body back into a version of the past doesn’t work. It just leads to more frustration.

The real shift happens when you start working with your body instead of fighting it.

In my clinic, I help you understand what your neck needs today.
We look at how your posture, breath, jaw, shoulders and stress all play a role.

Because your body isn’t broken. It’s adapting.
And when you know how to support it properly, change happens faster than you think.

It’s not about chasing how things used to feel.
It’s about getting you feeling good right now, with the life you live today.

The waiting game is costing you more than just comfort.

It’s stealing your life.

Every plan postponed…
Every trip, training session, night out, or moment with family you’ve said no to because of your back pain got too much to handle…

You don’t get those times back.
And it painful to sit on the sidelines watching everyone else do things you love without being able to join in.

It’s the missing out… cos time is short.

I just spoke to someone who said,
“I’m waiting until it gets better to start doing the things I love again.”

And honestly? I thought to myself, shocked - ‘did they really just say that?!’.

Because life doesn’t pause until you feel ready.
It keeps going, with or without you.

In my clinic, I’m here to change that.
You don’t have to wait until your back feels 100% before you start living again.

Every single one of my back pain patients improve their symptoms within the first 2 treatments.

This is because…
We work with your body, not against it.

That means building confidence, moving smart, and slowly stacking the wins, so you’re not sidelined by pain anymore.

Your back pain doesn’t define your timeline.
You do.

“I just want to do BJJ”

That’s what John told me.

Guy makes 7 figures.
Runs three companies.
Has a whole team counting on him.

But he couldn’t stop fu***ng up his knee.

He doesn’t need to be told to completely STOP BJJ…

The guy’s already miserable without it.

He’s unmotivated.
Stress eating.
Feels like he’s putting on the pounds.

All the pressure from work stress.

And the BJJ?

It’s his obsession. His escape from the noise.

Where he can let loose and reconnect with his body after being a workhorse all day.

In our clinic, we don’t ADD pressure to stop the things you love, especially if we can help it (which is most of the time).

That just doesn’t make sense to me.

Most need a tweak, a smarter approach, that’s it.

So don’t come in expecting to be told to stop what you love. And preparing to completely lose your s**t on me.

Cos it ain’t like that here.

Ready to get your s**t sorted out and finally feel the best in your body again?

Let’s talk.

You don’t need to suffer through brutal treatments to fix your shoulder pain.

That “No Pain, No Gain” mindset belongs in the gym, not your recovery.

I get it.
You lift. You work. You’ve got stuff to get done.
So when your shoulder starts aching during overhead work, training, or just reaching for something, you want it sorted quickly.

But pushing through more pain doesn’t mean progress.
Aggressive treatment just adds more tension and confusion to a system that’s already trying to protect you.

Here’s what most people miss:
Shoulder pain is rarely just about the shoulder.
It’s often the scapula, ribs, thoracic spine, neck, jaw or even your core and breathing patterns that are feeding into the problem.

In my clinic, we don’t just chase symptoms.
We zoom out and look at how your whole system is moving and adapting.

Because if you’re training or working hard, your body’s constantly adjusting.
And if those adjustments aren’t checked, they can start showing up as pain.

You deserve treatment that’s tailored, not textbook.
And results that last longer than the ride home.
