When this client first came to see me, he had been in pain for years. He told me:

“I’ve suffered from back pain and knee pain most of my life. I’ve seen many therapists and tried all sorts of treatments and exercises, but nothing helped.”

The pain was affecting everything—how he moved, how he felt, and even his confidence. He felt stuck and couldn’t enjoy the activities he loved.

When I assessed his posture, it was clear that changes were needed. His hips were leaning forward, his back was hunched, and his shoulders and head were pushed forward.

We looked at his photos together and decided to focus on two things: improving his upper body alignment and balancing his hips—even though he wasn’t experiencing pain in his hips!

It might sound unusual to focus on the hips when the pain was in his back and knees, but the body is a connected system. Often, one part of the body suffers because another part isn’t working properly. I always aim to address the root cause, not just the symptoms.

To help him become pain-free, I created a personalised plan with exercises specifically tailored for him. Generic exercises wouldn’t have worked. These exercises were simple, could be done at home without equipment, and fit easily into his daily routine.

We met about ten times in total. In the beginning, our sessions were weekly, but as he progressed, we spaced them out. During these follow-ups, I made sure he was doing the exercises correctly and introduced more advanced ones as he improved.

Over time, his posture began to improve, and the pain slowly faded. Within a few months, he was completely pain-free!

The results speak for themselves. You can see the transformation in the photos below.

He was able to get back to running and cycling pain-free, and he felt more confident about his body. He was thrilled with his progress and said, “The result has been mind-blowing!” He now feels secure knowing he’s less likely to get injured as he gets older.

I’m incredibly proud of his journey. It’s amazing to watch someone work so hard and achieve such incredible results.
