“Neurological Disorder? The muscles in my right leg had disappeared by approximately 60% resulting in an inability to run, ride a bike, walk quickly without the risk of my right foot dragging on the ground and tripping me over. If I made the mistake of trying to run the consequences were an inability to stop if going downhill and serious pain in my pelvis for about 3 weeks. I was rapidly heading towards a walking stick to walk uphill. I saw an article by Jo in the Bournemouth Daily Echo that described my symptoms very closely; a review of the website encouraged me even further; until I saw the price of treatment. However, when I showed this to my wife she said do it, if it works it will be worth every penny. How right she was. I already had a full mainstream investigation 15 years ago that resulted in …

“Motorcycle Accident.  I have known Jo for a couple of years, since she has been working with my daughter Katie.Katie had fallen off her bike a couple of years ago and had then been suffering with severe back pain.So severe that during Katie’s last year at school she was only able to attend a total two months out of the usual ten.Having been to a chiropractic, to have Katie’s bones pulled and pushed and muscles deeply massaged, that worked for all of five minutes and then Katie felt worse than before.Painkillers had no effect, other than now she is intolerant to paracetemol.I then tried Hypnotherapy, thinking that if Katie learnt to relax then maybe that would help. Unfortunately Katie was in so much pain that did not work.The doctors decided that perhaps a blood test would show something. What I have no idea. So after 3 blood tests still nothing. …

“Long Distance Runner needing foot surgery. I’ve always considered myself fit and healthy but like many of us today I have suffered with injuries and ailments, but being a keen long distance runner and gym-goer, I attributed all my troubles to running! No GP, Sports Therapists or fellow PT friends had any answers for me! My body was then pushed to its max and when I attended the FitPro Convention in April 2012, I simply burnt myself out! Luckily for me I met Jo at the convention……. Ive been seeing Jo now for a number of weeks and in pretty much one appointment, Jo knew exactly what the problem was and got me started on the road to recovery! In my first visit Jo diagnosed 27 Biomechanical Dysfunctions , yes that’s right 27!! I was amazed however that by my second appointment a few weeks later, after having been sent …

“Back Pain & Limited Lifestyle. Let me first apologize for not e-mailing you earlier! I should have been in touch ages ago. In this case, no news is good news, the exercises you gave me have been brilliant!!!!!!!!When I came to you I was so uncomfortable, but within about two weeks I was actually able to stand and do the washing up, without having any discomfort.(no getting out of it now, Ha ha, my partner Alan is always singing your praises). The next revelation came a couple of weeks later, when I was pushing a wheelbarrow I looked down at my feet and realized my feet were straight. I think I had always presumed I was pigeon toed (from riding a lot), but it was obviously my imbalance….amazing!! You probably get many tales like this from people you help, but I wanted you to know what a difference it has …

“I enjoyed all of it, but mainly breaking down the structure of the cell and understanding how it works… I have made notes like calling the endoplasmic reticulum a maze and the Golgi apparatus is like a car travelling around and driving out of the cell.”

“Client to Coach. Prior to seeing Jo I was struggling with recurrent hip, knee and Achilles injuries, which I had almost accepted as the nature of the sport (mountain running/cross country skiing) I was participating in. When Jo undertook the screens she was spot on with the cause of the injury and the Normalise process enabled her to identify my problems. It only took six weeks before I was able to feel progress, but several months to follow the stabilise and functionalise process, which enabled me to start the following competitive season pain free. Since then I have had a number of top ten finishes making the top three in the over 40’s in major fell running races in Wales. I was so impressed with the outcome, I enrolled for the Diploma course the following year. The course was hard work but the case studies and the assignment have helped …

“PARs Defect (fracture of spine) 2006 was a summer of playing lots of tennis tournaments, many matches back-to-back. Kat’s serve was poor as her tennis coach had radically changed it but left suddenly to work abroad leaving her without the finished product. He kept promising to return, but never did. So we kept waiting for the next instalment of her serve that never arrived. Consequently Kat’s back started aching. It first started during a tournament in the September, so we rested it, but it kept recurring.Eventually we heeded the advice of her new tennis coach and went to see a tennis-specialist physio. She diagnosed it was Kat’s quadratus lumborum and Kat needed to do some stretching. So Kat did her stretches and we went religiously to see (and pay) the physio – taking Kat out of school to accommodate the physio’s part-time work hours.The back still kept playing up, sometimes …
