If you’ve been waiting for a sign.
This is it!

If you are adapting your life around your pain or lack of strength.

If you’ve tried doing weights but end up injured.

I’m looking for 4 people who want to get stronger and feel more confident in what their body can do, without:
❌ Thinking they will hurt themselves or aggravate an existing injury
❌ Feeling worried about entering a gym environment
❌ Over doing things and end up quitting like they have many times before because they are injured

If this sounds like you and you:
✅ have 2 or more hours per week you can commit to training
✅ Have space and equipment at home or the ability to buy a small selection of weights
✅ Are coachable and willing to learn

Then this program is for you.

Just DM me the word ‘READY’ and I can send you all the details in how it works.

Speak soon 📲

We often think of either being in pain… or not in pain.

But in reality it is often the case that we are somewhere on a scale.

And where we sit on that scale can change daily.

It maybe worth keeping a note of how your pain changes. Or try to notice more range of motion, or doing something you couldn’t?

Or walking further, or quicker.

Because it is unlikely it will all of a sudden disappear.

It is more likely to improve over time.

So be sure to notice it.

How do we know the difference between ‘good’ pain and ‘bad’ pain?

Photos from Active Potential Therapy's post 10/05/2023

The experience of pain is unique to everyone.
The things that improve pain are also unique to everyone. But some are known to be shared.
Things like reducing stress, exercising and being mindful of your thoughts can have a positive impact.
Pain is complex and unique.
What are the things that help improve your pain?

Pain can become a barrier to movement.
The cliff edge represents where tissue damage will occur and the barrier is when pain occurs.
Over time, if we experience pain regularly when doing certain things the barrier moves back until it no longer accurately reflects the threat of damage.
I work with people to move that barrier further back towards the cliff edge by giving positive experiences of movement and encourage belief that it will not equal pain.
Predicting is something our brains are highly skilled in. So let’s make those predictions work for us.
What we expect to happen…often will. 💪🏻

You don’t need to buy a squat rack and £1000s of equipment.

Just do the things you can. With what you can. All the time. As much as you can. Start there.
Want a more structured approach? DM for details.

Josie started working with me a little over a month ago.
In that time we put in place a strength training program that could fit around work, kids and tennis.
Most importantly, she could do it at home.
In our weekly check in (yes she checked in even on holiday!) she was overjoyed to report that she felt balanced and confident in her legs and her arms were stronger with the poles.
In the first few months strength usually increases pretty quickly… all you have to do is put in the work.
DM me ‘READY’ if you want to get back strength and feel confident in what you can do.

Another INCREDIBLE bunch of determined graduates of our Anti-Fragile course.
Challenging self limiting beliefs.
Talking though experiences and exploring ideas around pain.
I am privileged to work with you all.

Another fabulous bunch of strong graduates from our Anti-Fragile course!
Understanding how to get stronger.
Understanding that sometimes we get ‘feedback’ from our bodies when we try new things and that doesn’t mean we’ve done any damage.
Understanding that it should be fun and enjoyable… mostly! 🤣💪🏻

These fabulous women joined me for our inaugural ‘Anti-Fragile’ course and left having the skills and confidence to start their journey with strength training.
💪🏻
They ALL managed a 30kg deadlift and ALL realised they are much stronger than they ever believed.
💪🏻
Change is inevitable…how we change is not. We DO NOT have to get weaker and more fragile as we age. We can get stronger…forever.
💪🏻
Want to know how?
Watch out for our next course in January or message us for details if our 1:1 sessions.

The morning after the competition day! We’ve all been there! And I am there today. Tired. Feel like I’ve got a hangover and definitely didn’t enter a new competition last night 🤣😂
Prep for British Nationals starts today..well maybe tomorrow.
Thank you for all the support from my lovely team and clients well wishes!
Achieved qualification for national competition, a south west record squat and overall 2nd best female lifter of the day.
Very chuffed!

Just a heads up that we are taking a longer break this at Christmas than we usually do.
Carol our osteopath is in on 30th and 31st December but the rest of the team are off from 24th December to 4th January.
Wait until you see what we have for you in the New Year though...very exciting!

As we reach the end of our Move-ember campaign the main tip for you all is CONSISTENCY IS KEY!
Walking 10,000 steps once is impressive...walking 10,000 steps every day will get you to a place you never even thought possible!
Think of brushing your teeth.
Do it once...nothing much changes...but we do it everyday so that we prevent tooth decay.
It is the absence of these behaviours that produces the effects we don't want.
So as inconvenient as it can be and as difficult as it sometimes is...remember it is the consistency that produces the results!
Keep moving!

Here we are with another idea to add to those steps… this time deadlifts.
Use the cue in the video to help with hip hinge… then add a weight…there’s lots of other stuff as the weight gets heavier but right now it’s just about doing the movement and loading it.

Into week 2 of Move-ember...
Here's your Tip Tuesday...fake your commute....
Did you used to walk to the train station? Or walk to work, or meet a friend at the end of the road?
With so many working from home sometimes we have to fake it!!
So get your shoes on on and walk to work, even if you are working at home...take a good stroll before you start...
We have to find small ways to move more!
