It’s been nearly 5 years since I hit an actual real proper strength PB.
There have been PB’s but they have been a ‘post-traumatic leg surgery PB’ or ‘post-having a baby at the age of 40 PB.’
I have always been super stoked to improve and get these PB’s but there is always that little bit in my mind comparing it to my former, younger self!!
A lot a patience and hard work resulted in an actual all time strength PB today. I have a big smile on my face 😁

Thanks to for his patience, programming and smart coaching- knowing when to push me and knowing when to rein me in.
And a big thank you to for always being there to fix my niggles. She honestly is a magician, I couldn’t recommend her more.

Wow - what an incredible ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review. Swipe left to see the full thing!

I don’t believe in doing things by halves…which is why when I assess someone, I like to leave no stones unturned.

This is why I created the 90 Minute ‘Advanced Consultation’.

What’s included:

• Advanced History
• Advanced Postural Assessment
• Advanced Functional Movement Assessment
• Breathing Assessment
• Global joint & soft tissue palpation
• Global Muscle Testing
• Relevant Orthopaedic and Neurological tests
• Advanced Report of Findings
• 1st Treatment (if not contraindicated)

Thank you for the most amazing review!!

Hi folks, thought it was time for a quick intro for anyone that’s new to this page.

I’m Sam, aka Sam Davies Chiro • Manc, UK] and owner of .

I am what I would describe as a ‘Functional Fitness Chiropractor’, meaning that my speciality and absolute passion lies in helping Functional Fitness Athletes.

I help them to ‘Move Well, Train Safe & Stay Injury Free’.

As someone that has done CrossFit for around 7 years, my passion grew organically.

I understand the sport. I understand the movements. I understand the injuries that can arise. And I understand the frustrations that you feel when those injuries arise and stop you from doing what you love.

My goal is to get you doing what you love again, as quickly as possible, safely.

Certain aspects of your training will likely need a few little (or big in some cases) tweaks here and there, but that is what I’m here to help you with.

If you have an injury that’s stopping you from doing what you love, DM me. I’d love to help.

If you don’t know where I am, I am based out of Train Heald Green (T3) near Manchester Airport.

And follow me Sam Davies Chiro • Manc, UK] for advice and rehab vids 💗

Thank you .peters for such a kind words!

This was a new one for me - Owen loves his skating! But many falls over the years have definitely taken their toll and he came to me with recurrent back pain which started after a bad one 2-3 years ago.

It was much better than it was at the time, but certain things still triggered it.

Owen’s main goal…. ‘To be able to fall without worrying’ 😂

A few adjustments later, along with some breathing and postural re-education and he no longer gets pain after skating, and more importantly…after falling! 🙌

Do you have an injury (old or new) that is stopping you from doing the thing you love? I am here to help…DM me.

Much love 🖤

What makes me different from a traditional Chiropractor?

There’s a few things really!

But I’d say the biggest difference is that I don’t just adjust.

Our sessions together are heavily rehab based, which is why they are longer than a traditional Chiropractic appointment.

Yes, you’ll get ‘the crack’, and you’ll also get a good dose of different soft tissue techniques, depending on what it is you come in with.

But I don’t want you to be reliant on what I can do for you, I want you to take an active role in your recovery, and to become reliant on what you can do for you.

Educating, and giving you the tools you need to aid recovery and keep yourselves well is what it’s all about for me.

These are my CORE values - if my CORE values are aligned with yours, and you’re struggling with an issue that’s stopping you from doing what you love, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’d love to help.

DM me to book in at my clinic which is based out of ‘s 2nd CrossFit Box Train Heald Green (T3) near Manchester Airport.

Much love 🖤

Did you know that I do Dry-Needling as well?

Chiropractic itself plays quite a small (but powerful) part in the actual treatment itself.

An adjustment takes seconds. At , I do 30 minute follow up appointments. And there’s a reason for that.

My treatments incorporate not just chiropractic, but soft tissue techniques including dry-needling, ART, trigger point therapy and deep tissue massage, as well as a good dose of rehab in almost every session.

The mechanism of action of Dry-Needling is still under scrutiny; however, it is thought that it works by:

▪️Eliciting a local twitch response which:
* Relaxes the bonds in a tight muscle
* Causes local analgesia
▪️Stimulates inhibitory pain pathways in the nervous system
▪️Regulates the levels of several chemicals released during inflammation

DOES DRY-NEEDLING HURT?

The needles used for dry-needling are extremely fine and sometimes patients report not feeling them going in at all.

However, when placed directly into a trigger point or a muscle that is in spasm, a local twitch response can occur which can be temporarily uncomfortable for the patient.

It is thought that the greater the twitch response, the greater the improvement 🙌

If you are in pain, and that pain is stopping you from doing something that you love…DM me, I would love to help.

Time for some Hip Flexor Re-Education.

▪️We spend so much of our lives sitting that it’s no surprise that our hip flexors become chronically tight and overactive.

▪️Along with an inefficient Stabilization strategy, this can contribute to the well known ‘anterior pelvic tilt’.

▪️How will you be able to tell if you have an inefficient Stabilization strategy and overactive hip flexors?

▪️Lie on your back with your hips and knees bent, then lift your feet off the floor. If you feel your pelvis tilt forwards and your lower back lift off the floor, you are demonstrating an inefficient Stabilization strategy, and that your hip flexors are doing all the work. This could be a reason why they are feeling chronically tight.

▪️This is something that needs to be rectified as somewhere down the line, could potentially contribute to lower back pain and other issues.

▪️To Re-Educate, head over to to check out my latest video and don’t forget to follow for more core stability tips and tricks 🖤

Another awesome review. Swipe left to read the full thing!

Getting people out of pain is one thing. But helping them to continue on doing the things that they love is what I live for!

is a keen CrossFitter, and for many years her issue had been holding her back from getting the numbers she wanted.

But after only a few sessions with me she noticed a huge improvement and has been hitting pre injury numbers left right and centre 💪

If an injury is stopping you hitting the numbers you want, DM me, or you can book an appointment via the link in my bio!

Why CORE Clinic?

CORE stands for 'Chiropractic Optimisation, Rehabilitation & Enhancement'. This means that I optimise the way your your bodies work through Chiropractic AND Rehabilitation methods. As well as enhancing your overall performance.

It is also a play on the word 'CORE' as that is the foundation of everything that I'm going to teach you, in order to keep yourself well!

CORE Clinic is my dream clinic. It is what I have been working towards over the years of owning a practice, and solidifying my core values. These values include:

🙌 Doing the best for my patients always.
🙌 Aiming for as fast (and realistic) recovery as possible.
🙌 Helping my patients acquire the tools they need to keep themselves well.
🙌 Working together to get the best results.
🙌 Promoting self-dependence.

You will find both me, , and my dream clinic in a CrossFit Gym called 'Train Heald Green' which is a stones throw from Manchester Airport.

Naturally a lot of my patients are Functional Fitness athletes given my background and location. However I am more than happy to help anybody that wants to take an active role in managing their own condition.

I help you through not only giving you the relief you need from both manual therapy and soft tissue techniques. I also help you through re-education. And through teaching you how to move the way you were designed to move again.

My sessions are extremely active. You will play a vital role in not only your recovery, but in the prevention of reoccurrence.

If this sounds like something you are keen to try, don't hesitate to get in touch .

Your ability to push overhead without problems depends on a few things.

1️⃣ Your ability to create an optimal brace/stabilization strategy

2️⃣ Your ability to keep your ribs and pelvis connected.

3️⃣ Your ability to flex, externally rotate and abduct your shoulders overhead, without compensating anywhere else.

4️⃣ Your ability to move and extend through your thoracic spine, without compensating anywhere else.

This week is my thoracic spine re-education week. Head over to and give me a follow for daily vids on how to get your upper back moving better.

Also - if you need help with any of the above to create a better overhead lift, I’m your gal! DM me to book an appointment.

Trust me, I can guarantee that you will never before have been assessed the way I will assess you.

I will help you learn about your own body, and the things you can do to move well, train safe and stay injury free 🖤

Do you have a painful/stiff/rounded upper back?

Make sure you follow Sam Davies Chiro • Manc, UK] ‘s posts this upcoming week for my ‘7 Day Thoracic Spine Re-Education Series’, and hit the save button as I’ll be bringing you a series of exercises that you can do to help ease your troubles.

Your thoracic spine is meant to be mobile. Yes it has a natural curvature to it. But it wasn’t meant to be ‘fixed in Flexion’.

Modern day living unfortunately promotes this posture, and given enough time…our upper backs become ‘fixed’.

Initially…this is mainly a body awareness issue.

Basically, our brains forget how to extend, and how to dissociate this movement from extension of the lower back and flexion of the shoulders…which can ultimately lead to lower back and shoulder issues funnily enough.

Not great for Overhead Squats/Snatches/Jerks 😂

Do something about this today, before this becomes not only an issue with brain-body connection, but also a structural problem which prevents you from being able to the movement full stop.

Body awareness is key 🔑

Day 1 - Give the ‘DNS Low Quadruped’ position a go to retrain body awareness and thoracic spine dissociation.

Head over to Sam Davies Chiro • Manc, UK] for this vid…and don’t forget to follow 💗
