How I Went From 95kg to 72kg working as a physio For years, cravings & self-doubt held me back. I didn’t think I could achieve my dream physique… Until I realised something: the pain of staying the same was worse than the effort to change. Here’s how I did it… 👇 //Thread//

I see running gurus prescribing 3 mobility drills for “tight hip flexors.” But what if it’s not tightness? A femoral neck stress fracture can feel the same—no amount of stretching will fix that. High mileage? Sudden training spikes? See a healthcare pro, not a guru.

A simple test for hamstring recovery? The Time to Walk Test. If an athlete takes >1 day to walk pain-free post-injury, they’re 4x more likely to take >3 weeks to return to sport (Warren et al., 2010). Physios & coaches—have you used this? Let me know!

The best professional development as a physio? Getting injured. I competed in my first HYROX race this weekend—legs are wrecked. Picked up ITB pain, TMJ pain, and brutal DOMS. Telling patients to “just do their rehab” hits different when you’ve been there.

3 Traits of Hyper Successful People (from Alex Hormozi): 1️⃣ They believe they’re capable of more and deserve success. 2️⃣ They fear they’ll never be enough, driving constant improvement. 3️⃣ They delay gratification and focus on long-term goals. Which one resonates most? 👇

Spending hours on self-help books? You might be wasting time. I’ve gone from 95kg to 72kg twice. The biggest lesson? Fitness is the ultimate self-development tool. It builds discipline, patience, and confidence. Start with your health—it’s the best ROI for your life.

The highest ROI actions for busy health pros losing 20kg+? 1️⃣ Track your calories & macros—stay consistent, not perfect. 2️⃣ Opt for 45-min high-intensity workouts over 1-hour marathons. 3️⃣ Prioritise sleep—it’s your recovery & fat-loss superpower.

I’ve used lifting straps for 2 years. Now for Turf Games, where straps aren’t allowed, my grip—not my legs—limits my deadlift. Tools like wrist straps build weak links, like grip. Train without straps to build grip strength. Don’t let weak links hold you back.

Don’t rest your hamstring strain.👇 Rest alone won’t fix it. Generic leg exercises won’t either. Hamstrings need progressive loading—eccentric and isometric exercises. Mild pain? Okay. Too much? Adjust. Want to do it right? DM “Blueprint” for my free 7-day guide.

Rehab is just training with an injury. The goal isn’t to avoid movement—it’s to modify it. Train what you can do. Adjust loads, focus on technique, and keep progressing. Movement heals.

Athletes, have you done your Nordics today? If not, why? Stronger hamstrings = fewer injuries and better performance. Stop skipping the basics.

Your body is a bucket. Bucket = capacity. Water = training load. Too much water spills over—that’s injury. Most focus on reducing water. The real game? Build a bigger bucket. How? •Start slow, progress over time. •Sleep, eat, recover •Track your load Keep it simple

Just signed up for my first Turf Games in 2025. I’ve got 7 weeks to adjust my current hypertrophy gym routine to compete at my best. Follow along for tips and strategy going into the games!

People over 60: Don’t skip resistance training because you think you’re ‘too old.’ It’s the most important thing to maintain strength, mobility, and independence.

If your doctor prescribes meds without asking about your diet, sleep, exercise, or stress… They’re looking for a quick fix, not solving the root cause. You don’t need a pill pusher. You need someone who addresses the full picture—start with your habits.

Spinal “abnormalities” are common—even in people without pain. Disk degeneration: 37% at 20, 96% at 80. Disk bulges: 30% at 20, 84% at 80. These changes are normal with age. Don’t fear scans. Focus on movement, strength, and what you can do. Pain isn’t always tied to imaging.

Consistency either builds your dream body or destroys it. Chase quick hits of gratification, and you’ll gain fat. Delay gratification, and fat loss takes care of itself. Win the small battles daily. Every choice compounds—stack the odds in your favor.

Do the hardest task first thing in the morning—like your rehab exercises. As a physio, I see patients delay their exercises all day, then skip them because they’re “too tired.” Early action prevents excuses. Prioritise rehab first. Get it done, and crush the rest of your day.

People often overestimate how much time they have to reach their goals. You never know when your last day might come, or if a major health issue could change everything. Stop waiting for the “perfect time.” Act now, and give 100% effort today. Time isn’t guaranteed.
