You're not as broken as they say you are.

Bumping into this guy and seeing the smile on his face as he heads out on another pain-free ride fills me with happiness.

Another client who was scheduled for spinal surgery. We worked hard to turn it around and within a few months he was taken off the surgical list. Now he only has to focus on where he is going to ride next 🏆

'You are not as broken as they say you are'.

One of my biggest missions in my work is helping people to get OFF the surgery list.

I recently helped another client who was scheduled for an AC joint excision (one of the joints of the shoulder). Through the work we did together, she made such a positive improvement that the surgeon said,'she no longer needed the surgery'.

This is why I do what I do... helping people move better, feel better and, where possible, find another option before surgery.

Duncan came to me with a hyperextended elbow, two bike holidays booked, and a real fear he'd have to cancel both. Here's what happened, in his words:

"I could barely lift anything, even a small manual was impossible. We had a week in Scotland, then a week in Spain booked, and I was stressed about missing both trips.

What stood out working with Adrian was the treatment wasn't painful and progress was steady, so I trusted the process.

Within a couple of months I was riding at 95%. As my strength rebuilt, the fear of reinjury dissipated. Would I recommend RISE? You have nothing to lose but more time." ▪︎ Duncan

He made both trips, Scotland and Spain, and shred on both.

Carrying an injury you think will cost your ride? It doesn't have to...

"General stretching feels good... specific stretching creates lasting change. "

I was asked recently on the PedalPod about general stretching and specific stretching, so I thought I'd elaborate on it.

This is my approach to specific stretching, respecting the anatomy, and getting the most from your flexibility training.

A break between clients. A spot of lunch with my golden girl, soaking up some sun 🙂

I taught the first anatomy class of the year this weekend gone, which was just brilliant!
I love how students new to studying anatomy start off nervous. But after a few days, become excited, confident, and knowledgable.
Studying anatomy is simply you studying you.

How is everyone else's transition from Christmas holiday back to work going?
Be good to yourselves now.
