So Facebook memories has triggered some questions…

3 years ago I was days into recovery from my spinal surgery.

However what’s really interesting is that looking further back, I see that with alarming regularity and consistency, around this time of year, pretty much every year…

I have some sort of major health catastrophe.

My broken arm.

The surgery to have the plate removed from the arm a few years later because the screws were coming loose.

The broken rib and subsequent infections from being kicked in the back by a horse.

The viral infection that had me bed bound for 2 weeks.

The chronic back pain that always flared up around this time and meant I was negative and frustrated about missing Summer.

The insect bite that got infected and had me on antibiotics…

And so on…

I talk about this with patients and recognise it within myself, about the patterns, beliefs and events we almost manifest subconsciously through the behaviours and choices we make.

Now that might sound absurd but there’s no doubt in my mind that the reason this year is different, is because I no longer identify as the person I was…

On any level

Which means I’m regulated

Calm

Discerning

Patient

In ways I never used to be…

And that has and is constantly changing my internal and external world and breaking patterns that I hadn’t even noticed were happening.

So memories are fantastic, but so is giving yourself the mental freedom from them.

Life is possible, recovery is possible, change is possible…

But it comes on the other side of the prison bars you’ve built for yourself.

When they are in Chronic Pain or Chronically Ill.

They want to try anything and everything in the hope that at least something works.

Nearly ALL of them also say their sleep is s**t.

They either can’t sleep at all, whether that’s because their pain keeps waking them up or prevents them from sleeping in the first place or they can’t move without being speared with a pain spike.

Or they sleep for HOURS. Like 16-17 hours and still wake up feeling groggy and shattered and foggy and like their body weighs an absolute tonne.

HARD TRUTH

The same people who have pain and who struggle to sleep

Are the same people drinking.

Watching Netflix till 2am.

Deep into the TikTok rabbit hole until god knows when.

Who read true crime novels to get to sleep.

When they should be…

Cutting down or out completely their alcohol intake.

Putting their phone down at least an hour before bed.

Turning the TV off an hour before bed.

Making their bedroom a sanctuary where sleep and s*x are the only things that happen.

Taking the unnecessary lights out and putting blackout blinds in.

Letting their body and brain slow down and calm down.

Sleep isn’t always easy I know but there is SO much you can do to improve it.

So I’m going to give you:

✅ one place to go to get more information on sleep and for me, one of the most trusted authorities on sleep
✅ one thing to try to help get you there

BOTH are free. They don’t cost a penny but what value they add could change your life.

So check out HMN24 for all things sleep related

And Binaural Beats for the cool ways it might be able to help.

I often come out in defence of primary care for this very reason…

So I’m going to rant a little about the prevalence of people who slag off the NHS, GPs in particular for ‘fobbing them off’ in appointments.

The patient walks in with real symptoms, uncertainty and fear over what’s happening to their body that they don’t understand. They want an outcome. They want an answer. They want a solution.

What they are often met with is a Doctor who recognises that whilst the issue still needs to be addressed, the root cause of poor lifestyle choices and high stress/anxiety/depression often still remain. So they ask the questions…

And are then met with vitriol…especially on social media…with angry patients complaining that the doctor banged on about their anxiety and didn’t listen to their symptoms…

But they did…and that’s why they want to talk about it…to ALSO find ways to support that so the patient can get the best outcome.

So yeah…often the ‘anxious patient’ is exactly that…and that needs addressing. Often the patient with high cholesterol is necking 5 pints a night. Often the patient with IBS is eating take outs every night. Not always…but the stats don’t lie.

We do have to take some responsibility for the choices we make about how we live our lives before expecting a GP to unfold a lifetime of poor choices and fix a problem that was preventable in a 15 minute appointment.

Of course there will always be complacent and poor GPs…but there are also complacent and poor patients and the patients have more control than the GP over what they do on the other side of the surgery doors.

What do you see?

We’ve rehabilitated the patient from a Grade III ATFL & CFL year, high Grade II deltoid tear, MCL, LCL, ACL & PCL tears and a biceps femoris MTJ tear

But we now have onset of burning bilaterally in the Achilles and the lateral border of the left foot…

So, in this instance, throughout the injury and rehab process the nervous system has identified on primary job…

Don’t allow the foot to collapse medially. Create whatever protective strategies necessary to offload vulnerable points and create something close to function that would be enough to fight off a tiger if it had to!

It doesn’t allow for the metabolic and mechanical stress of running optimally.

So…we rebuild, from the ground up, and show the nervous systems the pattern we want for increased tolerance and performance, bit by bit!

“…and they had this special machine that looked at your spine and could apply the right force to realign it and put it back in the right place. So tell me why I should now spend more money with you…”

“Well, the fact that you’re sat in my room having spent the time and the money and yet you’re still in pain…”

I think this is SUCH valid point because it can be SO disheartening to feel like you’re throwing away good money for no outcome and buying into yet another professional who promises to be different and then fails to deliver.

And the practitioners often forget the mistrust and disappointment that has built up after each failed attempt.

Because at the heart of all of this is still the human that hurts and just wants so desperately to feel better.

And my room is the room they end up in when nothing else has worked because in my room…

It works.

And the reason?

Because I help people trust themselves again, not me.

And…I’m proud of myself for not ranting about how ridiculous it is that a machine can realign a spine and ‘put it back where it should be.”

My god…I despair!

What if…

Your pain ended up being the best thing that ever happened FOR you rather than the worst thing to happen TO you?

What if…

You became more beautiful for having been broken in the best possible way, because you learned who you truly were and what you were truly capable of?

What if…

This was just the vehicle that took you to a life you never thought was possible?

What if…

You contacted me and your whole world changed?

What if?

This is SO damaging…

This is SO frightening…

This is SO indicative of the mainstream medical approach to chronic pain.

Pain cycles can be SO hard to break…

But I’ve had this conversation 3 times today alone…

Your job is to work out what that pain experience is trying to tell you in that moment, in the context of what’s happening…

Not with the story, the identity you’ve attached to it.

So sometimes what you need one day might totally differ to the next…

Sometimes you might need rest, space, time…

Other days you might need movement…

Some days you might just need some extra support with pain relief…

The key point is being conscious in engaging with what you’re feeling so you can influence what your brain and nervous system learns

Rather than defaulting to patterns that have developed through avoidance and fear and that only serve to reinforce unhelpful belief systems!

We do a whole session just on this…

THAT is how powerful just this one shift can be…

Try it! Let me know!
