At CJ Performance Healthcare, we are dedicated to helping active adults reclaim the fulfilling lives they deserve—lives free from relying on painkillers just to get through the day and to enjoying their favourite activities without the fear of pain or setbacks.

When chronic pain strikes—whether in your knee, lower back, neck, or shoulders—or if you sustain an injury from sports or exercise, it can be tempting to wait it out, hoping it will simply “go away on its own” with time and rest. You might wish for a day when you wake up, and it feels like nothing ever happened—unfortunately, that's rarely the case, and often the pain worsens instead.

We understand that it’s easy to reach for painkillers when discomfort arises, seeking quick relief. However, relying on painkillers is not a long-term solution; they can be harmful to your health over time, merely masking the pain rather than addressing the underlying issues.

You might also feel confused or sceptical if you've previously sought advice from other healthcare professionals or physiotherapists, and their methods haven't provided relief

Can you relate? If this sounds familiar, know that you’re not alone. At CJ Performance Healthcare, we hear these concerns all the time. In fact, many of our clients have experienced similar situations and:

• Thought the pain would go away on its own - but it didn’t

• Paid several visits to the Doctor, only to be told to “rest” and “take some painkillers” - then weeks later, go back to see the Doctor again, only to be prescribed MORE rest, and an even stronger dose of painkillers

• Been put on a month-long waiting list after being referred to see an NHS Physio, then when after waiting so long to be seen - were given a sheet of exercises, which did nothing to ease the pain quickly, if at all

• Tried a few YouTube exercises, but those exercises either didn’t do a thing or aggravated the pain, making it 10 times worse

• Thought it would be a good idea to rest because the pain was so bad, but all that did was make the area even more stiff and tight

• Been told by a family member or friend that “everybody gets aches and pains as they get older” - making it easy to accept it’s “just a part of life”

Do those sound familiar?
