Many of you are well on your way in training for the London Marathon. I’ve written an eBook to help you in your last push to get up to 20+miles OR to help you with running in general. In this eBook I have collated my foundational knowledge on running and injury prevention / rehab…

How did you lose 8 stone, May? | I asked May a few things
Do you do what you tell yourself to? I remember walking into May’s room shortly after we started working together and seeing post-it notes everywhere with positive affirmations. She had clearly been practicing the art of manipulating her environment to get the results she wants to. She wasn’t initially crediting this side of things…
The Ultimate Hamstring Stretch and Spinal Mobilisation
Do you suffer shortened hamstrings? Really common for those of us who sit a lot. Give this stretch a go (stay away from this if you suffer from spinal or hip injuries) Retrospectively I would also use a towel or something long for both parties to hold as otherwise this can get a bit to…
The body goes where the mind wills it to | Psychology for Weight Loss Seminar
I was speaking to a clinical psychologist recently. She worked in bariatrics (obesity patients) who had just had a surgical procedure to reduce their eating. They could face going under the knife. But they found it incredibly difficult to face their own psychology. Their own thought processes that led to them going under the knife…
Get better at saying NO!
How hard is it to say no? “I was using my job as an excuse to drink and eat in excess…” Heather started saying no. She lost 2 stones of body fat, increased her success and started her own business. So why do we find it so hard to say no? Sometimes it means leaving…
Dr Natalie has a message for you
If we were robots, life would be boringly easy… but we’re not. We love, we cry, we laugh, we embrace and we dismiss. Dr Natalie St Just has spent her life helping us humans to get the most out of our human potential and would love to meet you this weekend to discuss how you…
American Footballer | fixing his Sciatica heavy dead lifts
The other day I had a patient who is an American Footballer who plays at an advanced level, and this is what his rehab looks like. Yes, it looks like a training session. Why? Because even whilst he’s injured he can squat 150kg and deadlift 100kg (reduced from 200kg) You yourself may have noticed that…
Your first step to a tight set of abdominal muscles
Now this will apply to you as a patient OR as a personal training client. A weak core is a useless core. Unfortunately, a lot of people get off on the wrong foot straight away when trying to strengthen their core. Core strength is partly about trying to maintain a “brace position” which is what…
Pound for Pound BootCamp Full!
Pounds for Pounds is a Boot Camp we started last week where the pounds you lose each week is deducted from the cost of the following session. It turns out people liked the idea! Would you be interested in another time during the week? If so let me know and I’ll ask May if she…
Happy Martin Luther King Day
Happy Martin Luther King Day. Aren’t we lucky that so many people have come before us to fight for the freedom and privilege that we enjoy today. Who’s your hero? I have read some of (ashamedly not all of) MLK’s biography. One thing that stood out to me. He doubted himself so often. Every step…
