The bottom line is, it has to work. We tackle multifaceted, complicated problems through establishing what tangible progress looks like, and identifying accomplishment milestones. Part of that process is to help you find the hidden signs that you are heading in the right direction with practices for listening to your body’s subtle signals.
You’ve had issues that have “come back with a vengeance” before, which means the issue hasn’t actually been resolved. Our goal is to set you up for long-term success, so you don’t have to worry or wonder when the pain will come back.
Our approach is founded on establishing comfort and trust, personal but with the reassurance of professional boundaries. This is a safe space for you to bring all your concerns and we will help you filter out what needs to take priority to get you out of pain, while also making meaningful strides to your end goal.
Our job is to get you results. To do that, we ask questions about what has worked and what hasn’t in the past so we can start to connect the dots on what works best for you. After listening closely to your lived experience with the pain, your practitioner will identify specific areas to target, maximising efficiency so you experience tangible improvements as quickly as possible. It’s a collaborative process, because human bodies are as complicated, multilayered and individual as human lives.
We work with complex problems, and our barometer for success is: are you feeling better? Here’s what our clients say:
I’ve been working with Graham for a couple of months now, and when we first started out, I wasn’t sure if I could keep dancing anymore. I’m a ballet dancer. I have been my whole life. I had a big job coming up and I was beginning to panic. I had seen lots of different physicians who had all told me different things, none of which made any difference to anything.
When we started working slowly, we broke it down into different areas and eventually got back to release. We’ve been making steady progress as we go, and the back and the hip now are the best they’ve been in years.
I think I’m ready to go it alone, though Graham says there is even more we can get out of my body. I’m beginning to feel good. I’m not in pain all the time. I can sit down. I can wake up and move around. I’m hugely grateful for everything he’s given me.

Hi, Graham. I’m just giving you a quick update on how I’m doing. So I’ve been in rehearsal now for a month. I’ve been working flat out, doing crazy long days. But the body has held up. All the work that we’ve done has held fast and stuff through my stomach, all through the hip, all the release has held on fantastically well. And I’ve actually had a few days as I’m getting fitter with no pain at all, which I never thought would happen after all the disc issues. I’m really happy with how it’s going. I know how to manage what I’m doing and how to manage the levels of discomfort and what they mean and how to keep the recovery happening and the stress levels down. And so it’s just a massive, massive thank you for your work.
