Pain Consultations

Pain Consultations are included for free as part of our memberships.

Your Pain Consultation

Chronic pain is now widely viewed through the biopsychosocial model of pain, which means that along with physical factors, other factors influence pain too.

In your Pain Consultation we take a detailed case history of your pain, diagnoses you have received, and lifestyle factors that may impact your pain.

We will then offer holistic advice, including guidance on stress, movement, and the mental side of pain.

What to expect

Deep dive into your pain history

We’ll explore when your pain began, how it’s changed over time, and what might be keeping it stuck—physically and emotionally.

Personalised lifestyle advice

Get tailored advice on movement, stress, sleep, and daily habits to support your healing and calm your nervous system.

Goal setting to beat pain fast

We’ll set clear, achievable goals that help you feel safe moving forward and rebuild trust in your body.

Ongoing support by email

You’ll get email support with tips, encouragement, and help managing flare-ups, so progress keeps moving between sessions.

Tali Foxworthy-Bowers

Tali

At 10 years old, Tali suffered a chronic back injury that led her to discover Pilates. It helped her heal, rebuild strength, and sparked her passion for helping others manage pain. Tali trained with STOTT, one of the world’s leading Pilates organisations, and she has since deepened her knowledge by studying the mind’s influence on pain through training as a Pain Reprocessing Therapist.
