Holisitic rehabilitation for lower back pain and gut health. Based in Burleigh Heads

Maddie came to me with hip pain that had nothing to do with her hip.

Four months postpartum, with "shooting pain which was very debilitating."

On paper she was doing everything right.

Pilates.

An exercise physiologist.

Turning up, week after week.

Her words: "nothing was working."

Here's the thing about pregnancy.

Nine months of growing load lengthens and quietens the deep core; the diaphragm, pelvic floor, transverse abdominis and multifidus don't just switch back on because the baby has arrived.

When that inner unit stays offline, the pelvis loses its stability from the inside out.

So the body borrows stability from wherever it can find it.

Glutes, TFL, adductors, lower back, all doing a job they were never built for.

That's when the hip starts screaming.

And it's why loading a system that can't stabilise itself only adds fuel to the fire.

We assessed first.

Then built her program around what her body actually needed: breathing, deep core reconnection, food that supported tissue repair, and load added only once she'd earned it.

"Within a few weeks the hip pain was totally gone."

Here's the truth… Maddie was never broken.

She just needed the right things, in the right order.

"Each time I saw him I felt better, more energy and motivated for life."

If you're postpartum and stuck in pain no one can explain, DM me the word RECLAIM and let's have a chat.

Stop doing crunches and planks to fix your back pain. You could be making your pain worse.

You are addressing the wrong abdominal muscles.

How do you resolve it?

The transverse abdominis (TVA) is critical in core and spinal stability, but rarely targeted properly (if at all).

Watch the reel to see how to activate your TVA in a safe way, to start gealing your back pain.

And if you want further guidance, comment the word "FREE" and I'll send througha guide to help with your back pain.

Chronic pain rarely feels urgent… until there's a date on the calendar.

For Drew, that date was a lap around Australia.

He'd had shoulder pain for years.

Long enough that he'd stopped calling it pain and started calling it normal.

Working around it. Shifting how he moved. Not thinking about it much anymore.

Then the trip got booked.

Suddenly "I'll deal with it eventually" had a deadline attached to it.

We did a 12-week intensive.

Shoulder, posture, postural balance — because a sore shoulder is almost never a shoulder problem on its own.

It's a body that's been compensating for a long time, and the shoulder is just where the bill landed.

Three hours of assessment first.

Then the work.

And mate, he did the work.

That part's on him.

Here's the truth… the thing he took away wasn't the pain relief.

It was being educated on how our bodies should function — his words.

He reckons it's affected many areas of his life.

That's the bit that matters to me.

Because I'm not going to be in the passenger seat somewhere outside Broome when something flares up.

He is.

And now he knows what to do about it. 🤝

He's about to head off.

If you've got something you've been calling "normal" for a bit too long, DM me the word RECLAIM and let's have a chat.

What do I do for my workouts?

When do I train?

Running your own business can leave little time for workouts, but I get them in when I can.

Simple.

It is important to me to stay strong, stable and balanced.

So my workouts look like a mix of this:

• Heavy lifts
• Deep core stabiliser work
• Primal Pattern work
• Any corrective work I am teaching my clients that I feel I haven't done for a while.

This keeps it interesting, dynamic and fun.

If you are training, are you consistent in what time you train, or are you like me and fit it in when you can?

If it feels like there is a rope running from your foot to your head when you bend forward, this is for you.

That is nerve entrapment.

And right now, it is the most common thing walking through my door.

When it has got you, bending forward past 45 degrees feels almost impossible.

No elasticity.

Just restriction, tightness, and that relentless pull through the back and down the legs.

I know that feeling personally.

It took me close to 10 months to resolve my own.

And here is what that process actually looked like.

• Nerve flossing.

• Targeted stretching.

• Reducing inflammation through nutrition and stress management.

• Working with my mentor to figure out what my body specifically needed.

For me, we eventually had to reverse the curvature in my lumbar spine to free the nerve.

When it released, it was almost instant.

But that is the thing about nerve entrapment.

What works for one person will not work for the next.

It is not a one size fits all problem.

It is a detective job.

What I have found consistently with clients is this; creating space and reducing inflammation are the two biggest movers.

Get those right and the body responds.

If you are dealing with this right now, you are not alone.

And it is absolutely something that can be resolved.

Reach out and let's have a chat about what that could look like for you.

DM me the word NERVE and let's get started.

Cailum hadn't felt his right foot in years.

Not properly.

Just numbness where sensation used to be.

And he was running his own building company through all of it.

Every day on the tools, managing a business, carrying a body that was silently shutting down.
He packed his bags in Cairns and travelled to get that back.

That is commitment.

Within two weeks of starting his 12 week program, his sciatic pain had significantly reduced.

And the feeling in his foot started coming back.
But here is what I want you to understand about how that happened.

The body does not just hold physical tension.
It holds stress, old injuries, emotional load, and unprocessed experience; all of it wired into the nervous system.

And until you address that layer, the physical work only goes so far.

So yes, we built Cailum's core stability back up from the ground.

And we spent real time unwinding the nervous system.

Breathing techniques, Zone exercises, learning to down regulate and get the body out of that constant state of protect and brace.

The physical and the mental, worked together.

That is where the real shift happened.

Cailum, you are an absolute legend mate.

The effort it takes to back yourself like that, travel that far, and commit the way you did; that is not nothing.

It was a genuine pleasure.

It does not matter where you are in Australia.

If your back pain has been holding you back long enough, we can sort it out.

DM me the word RECLAIM and let's get started.

Pain down the front of your thigh?

It might not be sciatica.

Most people think leg pain comes from the sciatic nerve.

But if your pain, numbness, or weakness travels through the front of the thigh, the femoral nerve may be the real culprit.

The femoral nerve originates from the L2-L4 region of the lower back.

It travels through the psoas, down the front of the leg, through the quadriceps, and into the knee.

People with femoral nerve irritation often experience weakness in the quads.

They may feel unstable through the knee.

They also tend to shift their weight onto the opposite side without realising it.

The solution isn't just stretching or resting.
The goal is to create more space around the affected spinal segments.

Then build stability through targeted core activation and movement retraining.

Every case is different.

That's why the right assessment is critical before choosing the right corrective strategy.

If you've been dealing with pain down the front of your leg and nothing seems to be working, contact me.

The Fluid Movement System is designed to identify the root cause and help you move out of pain for good.

13 years off the pavement.

And I'm back running.

Not because someone told me to.

Because my clients are runners, and if I'm going to truly support them, I need lived experience, not just textbook knowledge.

So I started.

And honestly?

It's been harder than I expected.

But the challenge is exactly why I'm enjoying it.

There's something powerful about doing the uncomfortable thing in service of understanding someone else's experience.

I've been fortunate to work alongside some fantastic running coaches at Elevation Fitness too.

Do you run?

I'd love to hear what got you into it, what keeps you going, or even why you've been thinking about starting.
