Living in the Pain-Free State
You've just done something pretty remarkable. You've taken the time to really learn about your Fibromyalgia. And now you get it. It's no longer a mysterious illness that has taken over your life.
Fibromyalgia is a state your body has slipped into because those three dials, Fascia, Fight-or-Flight, and Food, have all crept up too high at the same time.
That shift in perspective changes everything. It takes the weight off "why is this happening to me?" and puts it on "okay, now I see how this works."
Finally, your own symptoms make sense. And it's time to begin your own journey out of the state and back to pain free.
Your Consultation
Your first session is two hours long. That's deliberate.
People with Fibromyalgia especially have spent years being seen for ten minutes at a time, handed a leaflet or a prescription, and sent home still not properly understood. Two hours is long enough to actually listen. To hear the full story, in your own words, without anyone glancing at the clock.
We start there. You talk. We listen. Every flare, every dismissal, everything that's been tried and hasn't worked. No rushing, no interrupting.
Then, once we understand your history properly, we work through your three dials one at a time. Using the Fascia and Anatomy Trains framework you've just learned about, we assess your posture and where the restrictions are sitting. We talk through your nervous system, how much of your day is spent in fight-or-flight and why. And we talk through your food and your gut, because for most people in the Fibromyalgia state, all three dials have been turned up together for a long time without you noticing.
We show you. We explain it back to you in plain language, specific to your body and your history, not a general description of the condition.
By the time we finish that conversation, you'll understand your own Fibromyalgia more clearly than you ever have. Most people describe that moment as a relief that's difficult to put into words.
Your Three Dials, Assessed Properly
During your consultation, once we understand your full history and symptoms from your perspective, we begin assessing where each of your three dials is actually sitting.
We look at your posture from a Fascia perspective, using the Anatomy Trains framework, to see where your restrictions are and how they connect. We talk through how your fight-or-flight response shows up. And we talk through your food and gut health, and how the two are feeding into everything else. Once we have this picture, we explain it back to you in a language you understand, and everything you've read on our website today becomes real and specific to you.
You'll understand:
1
Which of your three dials is turned up highest
And why, specific to your body and your history.
2
How your dials have been feeding each other
The loop between Fascia, fight-or-flight, and food that has kept you in the state.
3
What tipped the first dial
The events, physical or otherwise, that started the loop for you specifically.
4
A clear path forward
Only with this full picture can we plan the route to turn each dial back down.
This is all before you even get on the treatment table. The education is tailored to you, focusing on helping you understand your journey to date and the path forward.
After conducting Fibromyalgia consultations for over 20 years, we get to learn about people at a human level. We know that for you, understanding your own state this clearly is pivotal. It's a real moment of being able to let go of the past and focus on your new future.
First Hands-On Treatment
Once we have finished talking and you feel fully understood, we will begin your first treatment, working on the Fascia dial first. We see a 30-50% reduction in pain in the area we choose to work on in the first session.
Most people are pain-free within 4 to 8 sessions, with clear percentage changes each session and no guesswork.
Remember, we work in the highest-pressure environment of the Premier League, where speed of results is how we are judged.
A Clear Path Out of the State
You will leave the appointment feeling listened to, and you will understand your whole journey to date.
You will understand exactly where your three dials sit today, and why. We'll show you images and videos so you understand exactly how the Fascia looks in your body at the site of your pain.
You will have felt the treatment for the first time and had a clear measurable change in symptoms, so that you can visualise how many sessions you may need to turn the dials back down.
And we will have discussed a clear treatment plan so that you can see your exact path out of the Fibromyalgia state.
If you would like to see how that treatment plan unfolds session by session before you book, our Fibromyalgia treatment page sets out the full programme in detail.
