The Pain Management Playbook
How to adapt your training around pain, injury and flare-ups — without losing momentum.
One-time payment · Lifetime access
Stop training and write off the week? Push through and hope it disappears?
Most people guess.
They either keep pushing when they shouldn’t — or shut everything down, wait for it to settle, and lose hard-earned consistency.
But you don’t need to push through, and you don’t need to stop. You need to know how to adapt.
How to work around the problem, keep training, and keep making progress — without blindly ignoring what your body is telling you.
That’s exactly what the Pain Management Playbook gives you: practical tools you can use on the gym floor to make better decisions, adapt your training, and keep moving forwards.
The destination doesn’t change.
Sometimes, the route just needs to.
A collection of key frameworks and decision tools — built to take the guesswork out of managing injuries within your training.
Green, amber, red. Score what you’re feeling and know immediately whether to continue as planned, adapt the exercise, or stop and flag it.
Three levels of adjustment, in order, smallest first. Make the minimum change needed to keep training instead of jumping straight to stopping.
What pain actually is, why hurting doesn’t mean harm, and why serious causes are far rarer than your head tells you at the time.
How you react in the first ten minutes shapes the next ten weeks. Both paths mapped out — and which one leads back to full training.
The difference between a niggle to work around and a symptom that needs looking at, so you’re never guessing about the serious stuff.
Specific swaps for strength, speed and conditioning work — grip, stance, range, tempo, contraction type, equipment. The actual levers to pull.
A calm approach that helps prevent panic when something starts hurting.
A clearer understanding of when it’s okay to keep training, without needing to ask.
The tools and understanding needed to stay consistent with your training — even when pain shows up.
A confident approach to adapting and scaling training around any symptoms.
A greater understanding of your own pain, and why there is no need to fear it.
The right signposting for those occasions when something may need a more formal review.
“When knee pain started affecting my marathon prep, the Playbook helped me make sensible changes to both my running and strength work without just stopping everything. It gave me confidence that I could adapt things and still keep progressing.”
“When pain started creeping into my training, the Playbook helped me work out what I could change without feeling like I had to stop completely. It gave me the confidence to adapt my sessions, keep training, and stay on track.”
“I’ve used the Playbook with clients to help them feel more confident when pain crops up in training. It gives us a simple framework to make sensible decisions together and adjust the session without panicking or stopping unnecessarily.”
“It’s a really useful tool for helping clients understand what they can still do when something starts hurting. It makes those conversations easier and gives me a clear framework to guide coaching decisions and keep their training moving.”
