Medicine saved my mum's life, but physio gave her, her life back... so I chose physio. But 36 years ago, societal norms were different and becoming a physio as a male was very different and frowned upon. And so it was when I sought a reference from my school headteacher to be able to apply to study physiotherapy. "Physiotherapy is a woman's job!", was the response... But those challenges, and the path to physio I subsequently took, made my journey all the more richer as a result...

Why do people, 'people please'. And why can it often be the result of early years experiences and lead to health challenges later in life?

Why am I a Therapist? More specifically, why did I choose physiotherapy as my starting point into therapy as a profession before expanding my knowledge and training beyond? The answer lies in my history, my mother's own experiences with ill health and witnessing how therapy, can give a person back their lives.

Our nervous system is like a river. The river has a capacity, and when that capacity is breached as a result of too much, too fast, for too long (or not enough, in the case of neglect), the river floods. It overwhelms our capacity to cope, and that’s when trauma happens.

Healing requires us to be able to process all the emotions from any experience. Emotion as a word originates from the latin work ‘Emovere’ - movement. If we don’t allow our experiences to ‘move’ through us, they can become stuck, which leads to illness. In short, if you cannot feel, it is very likely that you will find it very difficult to heal.

Why do we 'feel' pain - or to put it another way... why does a broken heart, hurt? It's not because someone has taken a literal hammer to our heart? So where is the experience of pain coming from?

Medication and surgery have become the go to, easy ‘fix’ for all our health problems, including pain. Medication is wonderful - it has a place in our healing journey. But it is not THE healing journey. To understand that in the context of pain is to understand what pain is, and is not. There are different types of pain, and we do not feel pain in the same linear way. If that were the case, medicating would be the simple solution. But pain is so much more nuanced and complex than that. And it is an entire body experience based on the context of our experiences and environment - not just our nervous system.
