Today is a day I've been working towards for a long, long time. 📖

I'm beyond thrilled to announce that my book, The Lyno Method: Linking Fascia and the Nervous System to Resolve Chronic Pain and Injury Patterns, has officially been published — today, in London, by Handspring Publishers.

Co-authored with Prof. Earle Abrahamson of the University of Hertfordshire, this book is the culmination of over 30 years of working with bodies, unravelling pain, and asking the question: why do some people stay stuck, and how do we truly set them free?

To my clients — past and present — you are in every page of this book. Your trust, your bodies, your stories taught me everything. Thank you.

To my fellow physios, biokineticists, and movement coaches — I wrote this for you too. If you've ever felt that something was missing from the conventional model of pain and injury, this book is an attempt to name it and offer a new way forward.

The Lyno Method bridges fascia and the nervous system in a way that changes how we assess, treat, and understand the body. I hope it sparks as much curiosity in you as it has in me.

📚 Available now from Handspring Publishers.
