Description
Welcome to the Pain Free Living channel — I’m Bob Allen, an osteopath treating pain since 2008, covering everything from back and neck pain to headaches, fibromyalgia, stress-related tension, and movement anxiety.
While I know a lot about physical therapy, mental health is not my area of expertise, so I am working with Clare Elsby, an experienced Therapy coach who will cover that side of your wellbeing.
We look at a range of topics, including the way your nervous system works, how to manage stress, why everyday habits affect your pain, and how simple movement (not gym-floor torture!) and self-regulation can help you feel and function better.
If you want evidence-based advice, real-life explanations and practical steps to move with confidence, hit subscribe and start your Pain Free Living journey.
