If you’ve come off an injury, gone back to training, and it’s come back within weeks - this will help. Most people treat pain as the problem. It’s not. Pain is the signal. The actual problem is what caused it in the first place. Here’s what I see every week in clinic. Someone gets treatment, feels better, and goes straight back to doing exactly what loaded that structure before. No strength work. No gradual return. Just - back to it. Three weeks later, they’re sitting in front of me again. The tissue healed. The capacity didn’t rebuild. That’s the difference. Whether you’re a weekend runner, a footballer, or someone who just wants to carry the shopping without wincing - you can’t just wait for pain to go away. You have to rebuild load tolerance too. So ask yourself honestly: did you actually rehab it? Or did you just rest it? Drop a comment - I’d love to know which one applies to you.

The worst advice I could give a client!

Complete rest is very rarely the answer to solve MSK problems - if that is what you’re being advised ensure you question to understand their reasoning.

If you are unsure about what to do with your injury, drop me a message and I’ll help advise!

12 weeks ago she couldn’t run at all. And booked a Free Pain Assessment.

She came in with persistent pain across her knee, calf, and hip. No answers. Just a problem that wasn’t going away.

We diagnosed IT band syndrome, built a plan - physio, sports massage, targeted strengthening - and set a 12 week target to get her back running pain-free.
She messaged me this morning. 12 weeks exactly.
Completely pain-free.

This is why getting the right diagnosis matters. Not guesswork. Not just treating the symptom. Finding what’s actually going on and building a programme around it.

If you’ve been carrying something that isn’t shifting - or you’ve tried other avenues and not got the result you were after - drop INFO in the comments or send me a DM.

Premier League footballer S&C work, explained by a physio.

Most players warm up and hope for the best. This is what it actually looks like when preparation is done properly.

Every phase has a purpose. Every phase feeds the next.

Most footballers I see follow the same pattern. Pull a hamstring. Get a massage. Feel better. Play again. Pull it again.

The massage managed the symptom. Nothing changed underneath.

Sports massage is brilliant. It reduces tension, speeds up recovery, gets you feeling ready to play.
But it won’t stop the injury coming back.

What actually keeps you on the pitch long-term is strengthening. Building the tissue’s capacity to handle what you’re putting it through every Saturday and Sunday.

Manual therapy and exercise rehab together. That’s the combination that works.

One without the other is just patching the problem.
If you’ve been picking up the same injury on repeat, the question isn’t “when’s my next massage?” It’s “what am I missing from my programme?”

Which are you guilty of - skipping the rehab, or just going back too soon? Drop it in the comments.

5 reasons your pain keeps coming back.
Most people come to me after they’ve already tried a few things. Massage. Rest. Painkillers. Maybe even seeing another physio.
And the pain comes back. Every time.
Here’s why.

1. You treated the symptom, not the problem. Pain is a signal. Keep turning the alarm off without finding the source and nothing changes.
2. You stopped as soon as it felt better. Feeling pain-free isn’t the finish line. It’s the starting point for actually building resilience.
3. You skipped the strengthening work. Manual therapy - massage, cupping - is brilliant for easing pain short-term. But without strengthening the muscles around it, the pain returns. It always does.
4. You’re not moving the same way you used to. Pain changes how you move. And those patterns stick around long after the pain goes. That needs addressing too.
5. Nobody looked at the full picture. One treatment, one technique, one session. Real progress comes from combining the right approach at the right time.

If you’re in the Norwich or Wymondham area and you’re fed up with pain that keeps coming back - I offer a free pain assessment. No commitment. Just answers.

Resting and hoping?

It’s the most common thing active people do when something hurts. And it’s also the reason so many of them are still dealing with the same problem six months later.

Here’s what actually slows your recovery down:

Stopping completely: Total rest has its place - but for most injuries, staying still for too long causes the tissue to stiffen and weaken. Movement is medicine. The right movement, at the right load.

Jumping straight back in when the pain goes: Pain going away doesn’t mean you’re healed. It means your body has settled down. The underlying weakness is still there. Push too hard, too soon, and you’re back to day one.

Stretching the same thing everyday: Most people stretch what’s tight. But tightness is often a symptom of weakness. Stretch without strengthening and you’ll get relief for a few hours - then it returns.

Treating it yourself without knowing what it actually is: Ice, heat, foam rolling. Sometimes it helps. But if you don’t know what’s wrong, you’re guessing. And the wrong treatment on the wrong problem doesn’t work.

The people who recover fastest aren’t the one who rest the longest.

They’re the ones who get the right plan early.

Save this if it’s something you needed to hear.

It’s one of the most common questions I get.
And there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But there are clear signals to watch for.
Push through if: The pain is mild - 3 out of 10 or less. It doesn’t change how you move. And it eases off once you’re warmed up. Some discomfort during exercise isn’t always a red flag.
“Rest” if: And by rest, I don’t mean do nothing. Modify the activity that’s causing pain - reduce the load, change the movement, or find an alternative that doesn’t aggravate it. Keep moving. Just smarter.
See someone if: It’s been there more than a couple of weeks. Or it keeps coming back in the same spot. Waiting usually just makes it harder to fix.
The worst thing active people do is stop everything - or push through something they shouldn’t - then wonder why it’s not getting better.
Sound familiar?
Save this for the next time you’re not sure what to do.
