Start With Why — Even In Struggles
Most people see working with stubborn back pain clients as a clinical nightmare.
But for me, it reminded me why I started: because no one should have to feel dismissed, broken, or out of options. My great mentor, Feldenkrais instructor, Rae Martin RIP - had two favourite sayings which I recall frequently when working.
Saying one - "there is always a way"
Saying two - "enjoy your choices "
If you’re facing something tough, ask yourself — what am I doing this for?
My answer is always: to give both clients and clinicians the tools to feel confident, clear, and truly capable. As a profession, I know we can do better. There's some big holes in our training which need to be plugged. There is a way to do it better and your choices play a role in that.
If you're feeling overwhelmed as a health professional working with back pain clients, ask yourself: what’s the belief that’s doing all the work?
For me, it’s this: 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴. Once understood, there is receptivity to learning. With receptivity, comes skill development and confidence.
👩⚕️ I’m building something unique for allied health professionals who feel that too — a CPD-accredited certification for practitioners ready to tackle back pain in a whole new way.
Drop me a message if you want first dibs on launch details and early-bird pricing.
