My journey from pain

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

Living with pain is sadly all too common. It can affect people's ability to work, to provide for themselves or to enjoy any aspect of life, especially sport, and when you have used being active to redefine your life and conquer the darkness of addiction, then it seems particularly cruel... That's was the fate that befell Meg Robson Austin... but she never allowed herself to think it was too late to win back her life and so she set about a journey that ended with her claiming the crown of the World's Strongest Woman! Meg did it in no small part by following Tom Morrison’s 'Simplistic Mobility Method'. His mission is to change lives through movement by helping people build a strong & flexible foundation, giving them freedom to train, move and live without feeling held back by their bodies.
