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.

“Live like tomorrow is your last day. Learn like you will live forever”.
I try to live the first part of this quote but succeed pretty well in the second part.
I took a needed hiatus from study, but saw how much I missed it and how much I deeply love it. I will do all I can to be on a course I want to be on, I’ve even camped in my van on the streets of London, just to be on the course I desperately wanted to be on.
I’m so happy that last year I made a decision and went back to study. I’m buzzing for the next few years of diving deep into the pelvis, spine and so, so much more! I am looking forward to sharing all of this with my clients.

I love a success story, so let me share this one with you, a brilliant client who suffered an achilles tendon rupture. Togther, we rehabilitated it without surgery.

"I was put in touch with Adrian by a friend of mine after I suffered an Achilles rupture. My friend had nothing but good things to say about Adrian after he helped him recover from a serious mountain biking injury, a shared passion of ours.

Of course, all those things turned out to be true. After an initial assessment Adrian really helped put my mind at ease with a clear- and thought-out plan, explaining how we were going to rehabilitate my Achilles without surgery and get me back out on the bike as soon as possible.

Adrian is obviously a true expert in his field, but what I found really helpful and truly appreciated is the way he explains how and why the different elements of the rehab would work in a way I could understand. This helped me make sense and commit to my recovery in a way I have not experienced in the past.

I wouldn’t (and haven’t) hesitated to recommend Adrian to anyone. He is currently putting most of my riding buddies back together!

Thank you, Adrian, for the help and continued support you have provided throughout what was a pretty awful time. I am happy to say I’m now back on the bike and feeling better than ever. "

Now, I've rehabbed some breaks and injuries in my time, and there are some that stand out. This one stands out.

I've only posted part of the testimonial here. The rest is on my site (link in bio). This guy seriously went through the mill with this severe break, but happy to say, he's back on the bike again 🙏

"I heard about Rise after speaking with a fellow rider Sam, who had a similar injury to mine. My injury was a severe complex fracture to my left tibial plateau, fractured fibular, extensive damage to the meniscus, femur, ligament, tendon, nerve damage resulting in a near amputation 5 times over 10 months.
The injury stopped me from pretty much doing everything and anything in my life, and most of all, my true passion of riding.
Consultants said I might never ride again, I might never walk again, I might not even have a complete leg at many points. After being told all this, my mental health took a major turn for the worse. Most days, I felt completely withdrawn and was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, and depression..."

Had a great testimonial the other day... so I thought I'd share.

I went to see Adrian after feeling sudden pain in my back during a workout, as someone that spends a lot of time being active, I was worried it would prevent me from doing a lot of the things I enjoy.
I was unsure of how to progress towards recovery and prevent reoccurrence, so I booked a session to get some guidance and understand my injury better.

Almost immediately, Adrian was able to understand the nature of my injury and begin working to resolve it through a few sessions and the support that I could do at home.

The whole process took a matter of weeks, which amazed me as I was expecting to be sulking on the sofa for months. Through the work we did, I have built a much better understanding to prevent further issues.

Adrian does an amazing job at understanding each individual circumstance and it’s reassuring to know that whatever injury you might sustain, he has a whole wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise to get you back to doing everything you love!

Now if anyone I’m talking to mentions, they have picked up an injury, I immediately recommend getting a session booked!
