Manual Therapy in Neuro Rehab
Rehab is a great and noble enterprise with potentially life changing outcomes. The short term relief of manual therapy is the safety that will keep you from it if not used wisely.
The Butterfly Effect
An issue with one part of the body is never just an issue with that specific part - it’s a system issue that requires a system based solution. Chaos theory states that when a butterfly flutters its wings in one part of the world, it can cause a tornado in another, which has largely been misunderstood in popular culture to mean that small events can cause big ones. However, in science what it really implies is that small changes can lead to unpredictable systemic shifts.
Neural Edge
This is where individualisation in rehab becomes key to creating the changes you want to make, rather than assuming that age old dogma will apply to everyone.
The Dark Cloak of Gravity
Gravity - the body - the ground. Two are undefeated. We’ve got to manage the other.
The Creation of Movement: Foot to Ground Interaction
This is the physical touch point where forces generated by the body are imparted onto the floor, and transformed into locomotion. Something Stu McMillan, one of the most successful sprint coaches in the world calls foot to ground interaction, and that I consider to be vitally important in any lower limb injury or neurological rehabilitation.
Drumming, Relaxation & Movement
The solution is instead exactly as my drum teacher proposed - “if you want to go faster, you have to relax more”, and if your goal is to move better, reduce pain or improve performance, you must get as good at letting go of tension as you are at creating it.
A Revolutionary Way to Understand the Brain: Introducing Geometry-Informed Rehab™
This article presents a breakthrough model of the brain and nervous system — built on neural tuning, internal geometry, and dynamic trajectories — and the world’s first clinical framework to apply it: Geometry-Informed Rehab™.
Using the Neubie with MND: Defying the Odds
Chris was the first client with MND I ever worked with. Getting to spend time with him and play a small part in his story so far has been an honour, just as it has with every other one of my clients battling this disease.

Using the Neubie with FND: A Case Study
Over the next 2 weeks, Emily experienced a total of just 2 seizures, down from one every 20 minutes. Not only this, but her average walking distance increased from just 150 meters before treatment, to 500+ meters after treatment.
