🧠 FITZ… HOW DO YOU REMEMBER ALL THAT USELESS STUFF? 😂

My mates used to laugh at me.

“Fitz, how on earth do you remember all that useless information?”

The engine capacity of a car. Its horsepower and torque.

The mass of our Sun and Proxima Centauri.

The stages of an insect’s life cycle.

The 26 bones of the foot.

Atomic numbers, atomic masses, the universal gravitational constant…

And goodness knows what else!

Yesterday, a friend asked me:

“How on earth did you remember my middle name?”

I laughed.

“If I can remember the atomic numbers and masses of the elements, remembering your middle name isn’t that difficult!” 😂

The funny thing is, some stuff — well, a LOT of stuff — stays in my head.

See I taught..every science, every maths, had my own yoga school and taught running within a triathlon ladies group

But while at school I then I would be given something different, like sewing, always a lot of religion, even I had too teach Social Studies

I suppose we remember what captures our curiosity and attention. But if you have to do something, why not focus on it, but in teaching you explain succinctly.

Then It wires in..if you create a pattern. You remember the patterns

I’ve always loved learning.
3 universities..a triple Science major a Masters and Five diplomas then all my courses in 5 countries and three different States

But always there’s something that fascinates me even more than remembering facts.
It’s my passion

How does everything in the human body work together as one, how does it act and integrate?

There must be patterns!!

And why do we just expect everything to work and we just get better…

There must be rules..

Muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, fascia, nerves, sensory receptors and the chemistry that helps regulate it all.

How does your brain coordinate movement?

Why does one part compensate when another isn’t performing well?

How do we recognise those little changes before they become bigger limitations?

And most importantly…

How can we help your nervous system learn to work better for you?

Now, I’m not a builder!

Ask me to build a house and you’ll quickly discover the enormous gaps in my knowledge. 😂

That’s not where I’ve directed my attention.

But understanding movement, neural patterns, coordination and the relationships between tissues?

That’s where I’ve spent a lifetime learning.

People often tell me:

“I go to the gym.”
“I do yoga.”
“I eat really good food.”
“I walk every day.”

Fantastic!

Keep doing those things.

But I’m interested in what you HAVEN’T been paying attention to.

The tiny details.

The ankle that no longer moves freely.

The hip that doesn’t coordinate quite as well.

The arm that has stopped swinging naturally.

The breathing pattern that changes when you’re challenged.

The movement your body has quietly adapted around.

These are the things I test, explore and help you practise.

Because having strong muscles isn’t quite the same as having a well-coordinated body.

And here’s something I’ve learnt over the years.

I can help you discover what could be better.
You need to know

I can test, guide, challenge, teach and help you develop new movement skills.

But I can’t practise them for you.

Just as I can’t make you brush your teeth or make your bed every morning!

That’s your part.

I help you. But you must help yourself.

And perhaps that’s the most useful bit of information I’ve collected in this head of mine.

❤️ Knowledge is wonderful. But what you DO with it makes the difference.

Let’s find what could be better.

Ring me ask me…

🐾 When a Dog Gets Its Movement Back… Watch the Joy!

🐾 DOGS, GAIT, SYMMETRY… AND THE JOY OF MOVEMENT! 🐕

This week, two dogs came into my clinic for some hands-on work.

But even today, on my walk, I found myself doing a little work with Maggie, Odin, Otis, Molly, and Milly 1 and Milly 2! ❤️

You see, dogs fascinate me.

Just like today, dogs I see show that they have beautifully coordinated neurological movement patterns.

Walk. Trot. Canter. Gallop.

Each gear requires a different relationship between the spine, pelvis, shoulders, legs and head.

To me i see it, something amiss

For when something isn’t moving comfortably, the whole pattern can adapt.

Sometimes I notice it before they even start walking.

🐾 An uneven sit.

🐾 A shift in weight while standing.

🐾 A hip that doesn’t move freely with the opposite shoulder.

🐾 A rib cage that isn’t rotating comfortably.

Always my hands take me further — towards the neck, jaw, or even the relationships around the eyes and face.

Because no part of the body works entirely alone.

I get hints…a cough, a swallow a sneeze, a maltracking jaw a skip!!

My approach is to explore how the different parts of the body move, communicate and coordinate, using gentle hands-on work and movement.

Then comes my favourite part…

Watching them get up and test their movement!

A few steps… a little trot… perhaps a run.

And sometimes there’s this wonderful burst of excitement.

The bright eyes. The wagging tail. That enormous doggy grin!

As though they’re saying…

“Hey! That feels different! Watch me go!” 🐕💨

I never tire of seeing an animal move more comfortably and confidently.

And perhaps that’s the real joy of my work.

Not simply working on a sore hip, shoulder or back…

But helping the whole animal find a better way to move.

Because whether you’re human or canine…

Movement is a whole-body conversation.

And every dog deserves the opportunity to enjoy it. ❤️

If I Wake too Early…

I don’t lie there wondering why I’m awake.

I’m off for a walk… and before long, that walk becomes a run.

“I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.”
— William Ernest Henley, Invictus

I often teach my clients something I find fascinating:

We can influence our own neurochemistry through what we do.

Our movements, breathing, thoughts, environment and daily habits all influence how our nervous system functions.

If I do less, I often get less.

So rather than simply accepting how I feel, I ask myself:

What can I do to influence my physiology and make a difference?

Movement helps regulate stress responses. Rhythmic breathing, muscle activity and circulation influence nitric oxide signalling, energy metabolism and autonomic function.

Even the light around us matters.

Early morning light helps regulate our circadian rhythm, while darkness and dim light at night support the body’s natural melatonin production.

And there’s something wonderful about walking or running in the quiet, feeling your breathing become easier, your body finding its rhythm and your mind settling.

I’m not just exercising. I’m giving my nervous system an opportunity to regulate, adapt and perform better.

And when I get home?

I often slip back into bed and sleep like a purring kitty cat. 🐈💤

Sometimes, getting better isn’t about doing more. It’s about learning what to do, when to do it, and how your body responds.

Your brain and body are constantly communicating.

Learn to influence that conversation.

Very Clever People

In the 1980s, I listened to conversations about the possibilities of immune recognition. Today, part of my family is under the care of someone helping turn those possibilities into medicine.

During my undergraduate studies, immune recognition fascinated me. Not me, but my wife worked in this area

How does the body recognise what belongs? How does it identify a threat? And could we help it recognise cancer more effectively?

My wife worked with Professor Fiona Stanley and her husband, Professor Geoff Shellam. Sometimes I had the privilege of being a fly on the wall, listening to their thoughts about vaccines, targeting and cell receptors.

I couldn’t have known how personally meaningful those questions would become.

On a recent visit to see my brothers in Sydney, and while listening to podcasts about Professor Georgina Long’s work with the late Professor Richard Scolyer, I felt that scientific excitement all over again.

Part of my family is under Georgina’s care. The results have been so promising, and that brings a hope that is difficult to put into words.

Those conversations from the 1980s weren’t about today’s exact treatments. But I remember the curiosity—the possibilities people were trying to understand. Decades of questioning, testing, setbacks and persistence have brought us here.

I love clever people, it can be science, sport or just being creative.
But these people want to make a difference. People who dedicate their lives to turning knowledge into something that can help another human being.

As someone who loves science, figuring stuff out I always find this extraordinary.

As a brother, a father I’m deeply grateful. ❤️

I broke my face.

Almost a year later, I’m running ten lots of 200 metres.

Recently, a dog owner asked, “How old are you?”

“Sixty-six.”

“Well, you run as if you’re in your twenties.”

That comment meant more than he could have known. Six months ago, I couldn’t do this

On 3 November 2025, a fall at Busselton Jetty took me from an ordinary evening to emergency at Busselton Health Campus, then Fiona Stanley Hospital. The plastic surgery team realigned and splinted my nose.

My head felt heavy. My jaw was tight. My arms felt heavy, and breathing comfortably through my upper chest was difficult.

Surrounded by wonderful Medical staff
It hit me!!

“Physician, heal thyself” came to mind.

Alongside the hospital care, I began putting my own knowledge into practice.
I checked in on my body, every joint every muscle
Small movements.
Bed routines Sitting Walking.
Paying attention to my breathing and upgrading everything, re-coordination.
Gradually building on what I could manage.

There were months of practice, rest and repetition behind the progress you see here.

Today, I’m running, cycling and going to the gym. My yoga feels excellent.

I’m grateful to the people who cared for me—and grateful for every ordinary movement that feels good again.

This is my journey. Everyone’s recovery has its own pace.

At sixty-six, I’m still asking: how good can I get?

Some lessons stay with you for a lifetime.

Twice, I’ve had someone get off the treatment table and say:

“This isn’t for me.”

Was I shocked? Upset?

No. People need to feel comfortable with the care they choose. They’re allowed to decide, and I’m allowed to learn from the encounter.

It brought me back to the people who taught me about listening.

My father had sayings that were blunt, but behind them were lessons: if you won’t listen, how will you learn? And if you won’t learn, how will you improve?

A Christian Brother once asked me:

“Fitzgerald, are you stupid, son?”

“No, sir. I hope not.”

Then came the part that stayed with me:

“Now listen to me, and listen well. You must pay attention, for you only get better at what you focus on.”

Another teacher was among the brightest people I’ve ever known. Knowledge drifted from his tongue like beautiful music.

His lesson was about the difference between not knowing and being unwilling to know.

I’ve carried that with me.

There is no shame in not knowing.
I know nothing about car mechanics or accounting
That is where learning begins. Ooh I know zero

The challenge is keeping enough curiosity to question what we think we already understand.

And that applies to me, too.

People need to feel comfortable with the care they choose.

At the beginning of both sessions, I explained my approach:

“Let’s find what is working well, what could work better, and what might be contributing to your pain.”

Both people had pain in several places. There was a lot to explore. What they wanted was straightforward: fix the pain. They didn’t want to learn about the process.

I understand that wish. When you’re hurting, you want relief.

But learning is a central part of how I work.

When I say, “I’m not here to fix you,” I mean that we work together. My role is to assess, provide hands-on care, use my 25 years of study and 40 years of hands work and help you recognise and practise changes in how you move.

Think of learning French.

A teacher can guide you, explain something, and help you improve. Becoming fluent takes practice, repetition and time.

Knowing what is not working properly is essential

You didn’t just get born and run around the place…you taught your nervous system

If you can’t do it now..the reverse has happened those patterns are incomplete…so need a nudge to come back on

You have been turned off..so let’s reteach and install that

Learning a better way to move also involves participation.

We explore what could work better, work on it together, then practise so you can carry that learning into your day.

Did I explain clearly? Did I listen properly? Did that person feel understood? What could I do better?

Listening goes both ways. So does respect for each other’s time.

We give ourselves a chance to grow when we pay attention—including to the encounters that don’t go as we hoped.

Two years of Pain …gone
“i can bloody move again.” ❤️

Hey what the freaky f…
I went and had a session with David
Jaw better, back better and I can move my bloody knee again
This guy has super powers

Sometimes a message says more than any carefully written explanation ever could.

A lovely lady who sees me frequently refers others to see if I can help
Anyway she received this message after one of those referrals came for a session.

He told me he’d had a knee replacement two years ago. He’d hoped for easier movement and less pain. Instead, he described ongoing pain, other symptoms then frustration and a leg that still didn’t feel it was his

Two years is a long time to feel disappointed in your own body.

My starting question was:
Let’s see how is that knee working with the rest of him?

I assessed his movement and worked on the relationships between his legs, hips, trunk and upper body. We practised coordinated patterns, bringing those movements together so he could use them as a whole.

Then we repeatedly checked again
And again…hallelujah each time stronger more connected greater co ordination

He could bend his replaced knee more easily. He told me the pain he’d been living with had disappeared during the session.

Later came the message:

“I can bloody move again … I can bend my replaced knee again.”

And, very generously: “This dude has super powers.”

That made me smile. But what moved me most was his excitement. The surprise of doing something that had felt difficult for so long.

That is why I love this work.
I get smiles
I get laughter
I get tears of joy

The knee deserves attention.
So I must do the relationships that help a person stand, bend, walk and feel confident again.

This was his experience after one session. How long the relief lasts, and what further support he needs, are things we follow up.

He has exercise he has homework he has to rewrite poor neurological patterns with better ones…

For now, there was a man rediscovering movement—and a message full of joy.

I MUST ENGAGE

Every morning I wake up and deliberately oil the machine.

I don’t mean just supplements or just some complicated morning routine.

Each is only one gear
I don’t get better at anything if I don’t engage and focus on what I’m doing

I mean I engage with the world.

I get outside.

My eyes meet the early light.
My ears hear the birds, rain, wind and movement around me.
My nose picks up wet earth, trees, salt air—and eventually coffee.
My feet meet the ground.

And then I walk.

Not absent-mindedly.

I walk with purpose.

I let my arms swing. I feel my shoulders, hips, knees, ankles and feet participating. I change pace. I breathe. I look around.

Because waking up isn’t simply opening your eyes.

Think about a dog waking.

Stretch. Shake. Sniff. Look. Move. Explore.

Or a bird at first light.

Eyes open. Head moving. Listening. Searching. Flying.

It engages.

Humans sometimes do something rather different.

We wake up, pick up the phone and allow a little illuminated rectangle to become our world.

Yet outside, an extraordinary amount of information is waiting for us.

Photons entering the eyes provide timing information to our circadian system.

Sound becomes neural information.

Airborne molecules become smell.

Coffee becomes aroma, taste, warmth—and my favourite 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine interacts with adenosine signalling.

Movement floods the nervous system with sensory and proprioceptive information.

And deep inside our cells, electrochemical machinery keeps working—electrons moving through mitochondrial pathways, NADH participating in energy transfer and ATP supporting the work of living.

We separate these things when we teach physiology:

Light.
Sound.
Smell.
Taste.
Movement.
Neurotransmitters.
Metabolism.

But the body doesn’t experience them as separate university subjects.

It integrates them.

So my morning walk isn’t simply exercise.

It’s my way of telling the entire machine:

The day has started. Participate.

Get some natural light.
Smell the morning.
Listen to it.
Move through it.

And yes…

Sure…I Take the coffee.
It’s just one gear ☕️❤️
