This week at The Functional Health Clinic:
Chronic Right Knee Pain - Before they came to us, our client had been experiencing knee pain for a number of years. The cause unknown and frustrating. Was it related to some inflammatory processes going on or was it structural? We alleviated this pain as soon as we targeting and resolved the chronic tension in their right hamstring. The hamstrings are like 'ropes' and will often be a primary driver of structural and movement imbalances and asymmetries. With better form comes better function!
Resolving Pain to Enhance Sleep - The connected nature of the steps we aim to put in place and the way we see the body, means that we do more than just a 'this for that' approach. The way to improve someone's 'sleep' challenges isn't necessarily to throw all the 'sleep' strategies at them. This bigger picture perspective enabled real progress here.
This week's HRP Membership Call is focussing on Movement and Structure. We'd love to see you there: https://functionalhealthclinic.co.uk/join-the-health-restoration-program/
Improving the Rhythm of the Menstrual Cycle - It can take time, but if we can continue to fine-tune the connected and rhythmical nature of the menstrual hormonal cycle - then we should be able to continue the improvements we are getting with this client this week.
High Cholesterol markers and Auto-Inflammatory mechanisms - We are often contacted by people when they have out-of-range Cholesterol markers on their blood tests. We leave the 'diagnosis and treatment' to Medical Doctors. What we are focussed on is assessing and understanding the individual immune and inflammatory mechanisms. How can we modulate them? What needs dampening down and what needs ramping up? That's what we are interested in.

"I have seen many doctors for my digestive and hormonal problems and sadly most weren’t able to help. I have to say that Jack’s Program is by far the best health program I’ve ever used. It has so many great ways to improve your health whether you have a medical condition or an average person looking to boost their health."

Marie contacted us because she was experiencing palpitations, heat in her stomach and anxiety among other health challenges. She'd recently had a visit to A&E with an intense episode and received medical interventions which had helped manage the symptoms.
Yet, she was on a merry-go-round of up and down symptoms that never actually resolved and it was impacting so many things in her life.
When we added the functional approach it appeared to help her make huge progress. Marie's dedication was impressive. It's one thing being prepared to make such changes, but applying them in the midst of the whirlwind of challenges is something that Marie excelled at!

There are some principles of human function that we find the most fascinating and that appear to have the most impact when coaching 'health'.
We love prioritising and emphasising these in our coaching process because once these elements are in place, everything else runs more smoothly.
Appreciating these principles:
- helps us understand the health challenges we're experiencing
- drives decisions on what assessments to run and where to look for answers
- individualises and prioritises what steps and strategies to put in place
- provides context for our responses throughout the whole process
Jump on board the HRP Membership for insight into these principles and guidance on all the above 🙂

Bowen Therapy or Technique is typically quite light as bodywork goes.
It's non-invasive - yet the responses and results can be quite powerful.
It's not about which is the 'best' manual therapy or bodywork technique out there! It's about the value it has for a given individual's situation and what mechanisms are being influenced.
Align these two things and you are on to something. And there's no need to chase the pain around the body.

1 year after completing her support program Brooke emailed me to say:
"Hi Jack. I am fantastic! Since speaking with you last I have become a qualified personal trainer and have never felt more alive and confident. The knowledge I was given/taught from yourself about nutrition/exercise and just the human body inspired me to want to help others.
I never want a single person out there to ever feel the way I did if I can help it. Thanks to you I can finally take on the world and finally start living again." 🙂
