Is it a bespoke or a one-size-fits-all programme?
Your coaching will be tailored for YOU and your personal experience with your back pain which we will discuss during your consultation.
During your sessions, I will use a blend of the core elements that are most suitable to you to target your specific back pain. The number of sessions will depend on you and your needs.
What does one-to-one coaching involve?
Coaching starts with an initial consultation to explore how you have arrived at the point you are at with your back pain.
Everyone has a unique personal experience of how their back pain is constructed physically, mentally and emotionally. I want to help you have better understanding, better thinking and better movement so that you can feel better.
There are three core elements to my coaching, which are:
Education
I will provide accurate information based on current evidence to enable you to confidently manage and understand your back pain.
Coaching
I will help you create strategies to help you get back to enjoying the activities you love and adjust your mindset to better cope with your back issue.
Movement
Together we will explore how you move your back and what you can do differently to encourage more effortless movement. I will suggest guided rehabilitative exercises to help you move away from pain and better manage your back so you can go back to living your life to the full.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help me with my specific back problem?
Many of my clients already have a diagnosis, a disc injury, scoliosis, hypermobility, spondylarthritis, sciatica, etc. I screen everyone before accepting them as a client to ensure we can work together safely. If this is your first episode of back pain and you are worried about your symptoms, it is best to speak to your GP first.
How can I work with you?
I offer face-to-face and online appointments. Online appointments are on Zoom. You can book a consultation here.
How long are coaching sessions?
All of my sessions last a minimum of 60 minutes.
How much does it cost?
Each person’s experience of back pain is unique, so a programme is tailor-made to what you need as an individual and your goals, so the cost depends on your specific needs.
Still not sure if I am the right person to help you with your back problem?
Book a free 15-minute zoom call to find out more.
What is the difference between your online and face-to-face services?
For anyone seeing me in my clinic, I can include manual therapy. Everything else is the same. Manual therapy is an excellent addition to symptom management, but the most critical aspects are understanding your back pain and knowledge of how best to manage it and move.
What makes the Back Care One-To-One Coaching different?
One-to-one coaching addresses more than just the biomedical side of back pain. It addresses how your back pain affects you physically, emotionally and in your daily life. It aims to help you learn about your back pain, understand how you have made sense of it, and provide you with ways of managing it in the future so you can manage and reduce your back pain.
What will I need to work with you online?
All calls take place on Zoom. I need to be able to see all of you on camera standing up or laying down. A laptop or tablet is best as a phones screen may be too small. If we are doing movement-based work, you will need a yoga mat, space to be able to stand up, lay down on the floor on your back or your tummy (we can adapt everything if you can’t get down onto the floor), a dining room-style chair and, of course, comfortable clothing.
