That's what I thought, too, when I first started out.

Ever been told, "We know the problem, and this is how to fix it"?

Sounds pretty reassuring, right?

That's what I thought, too, when I first started out.

23 years ago I was all geared up, fresh from gaining a specialist postgraduate degree in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, ready to conquer the world of pain problems with my newfound knowledge.

Here's a little story for you.

Imagine me, years ago, full of enthusiasm, thinking I had all the answers. I was like that friend who, after reading a couple of health articles, claims they can solve all your health woes.

Except, I had two degrees to back me up, and I was determined to be the best I could be at everything in my life.  Whether it was mastering physiotherapy, the steepest cycling hills, nurturing my marriage, or even just packing the perfect lunch each day, I was all in.

But then reality hit.

Despite applying everything I learned in physiotherapy with 100% dedication, the results were... let's just say, less than stellar.

It was like following a recipe to the letter and still ending up with a cake that's somehow both burnt and raw.

Frustrating, right?

Was it just me?

Or was there something fundamentally missing in the way we were taught to approach pain?

After much soul-searching and countless trials, I stumbled upon a realization that changed everything.

I began to see that treating pain wasn't about applying a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. It was about understanding each person's unique composition.

Here's the deal: I now start every client relationship with a clear admission – I don't have all the answers.

Shocking, I know. But here's why it works.

Pain, much like people, is complex and unique. What's causing your discomfort isn't a mystery I can solve with a textbook formula.

It's a puzzle that's unique to you, and together, we need to piece it together.

Think of it like this – remember the last time you lost something important, and no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't find it?

Then, a friend comes over, takes a fresh look, and finds it in a place you never would have thought to look.

That's how I approach your pain. I'm that friend who helps you look in places others might not, to find the real source of your discomfort.

This journey led me to develop a method where I work with you, exploring and understanding your body's unique signals, to uncover and address the root cause of your pain.

No more guesswork based on generic diagnoses.

If this approach resonates with you, if you're tired of the same old answers and are looking for a journey tailored just for you, I'm here. Let's start this exploration together. You're not just another case to me; you're a unique story waiting to be understood.
