Who this is for

If you train, compete, coach or just care about feeling capable, you want a body that responds when you ask for more: more depth, more force, more control. You might be chasing extra range for squats or overhead work, a smoother stride for running, or the confidence to push without a niggle flaring up. That is exactly what we help with at Breakthrough Pain & Performance.

Why a neurology‑led approach works

Your brain decides how much range, strength and stability your body will allow. When the information it receives from your receptors is faulty or confusing, your brain plays safe and limits you. Functional Neurology and P‑DTR change the information your brain uses, so protection eases and movement improves. We use a top‑down approach, brain to body, which is fast, specific and measurable in session.

What we do in session

What you will notice

Why a neurology‑led approach works

Runner

“Repeated hamstring tightness: hamstrings tested weak due to visual sensitivity. We reset the receptor faults, retested gait mechanics and the tightness disappeared. Training resumed with new found confidence, and zero tightness in the clients hamstrings”

Lifter

“Overhead restriction: painful pinch on overhead press, traced to tendon receptor fault around the collar bone. After reset, overhead press felt solid and scapular control improved”

Crossfit athlete

“Squat depth: hip capsule proprioception fault led to left side internal rotation restriction. After correction, squat depth improved immediately and stayed during loaded sets to their capacity”

What happens after the session

Most people need 1–3 simple drills for the first week to reinforce capacity. These take seconds and fit around normal life, these are brain based drills, as simple as bringing an outstretched finger into your nose, whilst looking at the finger, then you’re done. You do that several times a day for the first week. Then on your follow up, we check the changes stuck, and rule out any triggers in your enviroment, that could impact your full recovery. Each step, each session is removing a deeper layer of what keeps people from performing and feeling at their best. Once you test normally in all the ways your life requires, you’re in a great place. Some clients get to a point where, nothing hurts, they move well and they have sessions to keep on top of moving at their best… preventive care. If you enjoy ongoing coaching to push performance, we can build a focused plan and take your results even higher!

Optimise Performance

How do you move? It’s enlightening to be assessed and recieve outside perspective on what works well and what doesn’t in relation to your SPORT or what ever it is you are looking to perform better in, whether thats dance, rugby, football or gymnastics… Functional Neurology Therapy can unlock your FULL POTENTIAL.

How does it work? Well, by looking at how you move, seeing movement restrictions, muscle tightness, weaknesses and strengths we can optimise this to have you move and feel better. Take for example, you are a Cross Fitter and you want to perfect your Muscle Ups, we can SCAN every aspect of the Muscle Up and the muscles involved looking for any FAULTS in your system that cause you to OVERwork or UNDERwork. 

Once we have seen this, we then delve deeper into your system to correct it. It could be something in your spine, it could be your feet, it could be your shoulder. Whatever it is, we can help you get more from your movement as well as give you ideas on adapting your training routines to become more resilient in the things you LOVE to do.
