Ed has recently opened a new clinic in Stroud and will also be joining the Jim's Gym team from August.In this practical, no-nonsense conversation, Ed explains what pain actually is, why two people with the same condition can experience it completely differently, and why pain doesn't always mean that further damage is being done.They also explore arthritis, recurring injuries, back pain, online diagnoses and the importance of strength training as we get older. Ed explains how getting stronger can increase the body's capacity, reduce the risk of injury and help us continue doing the things that matter to us.This episode is packed with realistic advice for anyone managing pain, recovering from an injury or wondering how to begin strength training without feeling overwhelmed.👉 Find Ed: https://www.edvossphysio.co.uk/In this episode:How Ed went from studying anatomy and physiology to becoming a chartered physiotherapistThe difference between physiotherapy and chiropractic treatmentWhy physiotherapy looks beyond the painful area to identify the root cause of a problemThe difference between acute pain and chronic painWhy pain doesn't always correspond directly with physical damageHow sleep, stress, activity levels, medical history and our beliefs can influence painWhy two people with the same diagnosis can experience completely different symptomsWhy arthritis isn't simply a case of the joints wearing out like brake padsHow movement and individually tailored exercises can improve long-term painWhy back pain might be caused by a problem somewhere else in the bodyThe risks of relying on Google, social media or AI for a diagnosisWhy generic lists of the “five best exercises” aren't right for everyoneHow strength training increases the body's capacity and reduces injury riskWhether it is safe to continue exercising when something hurtsWhy strength training doesn't have to mean lifting extremely heavy weightsHow often we should strength train and why recovery is essentialWhy it can take eight to twelve weeks of consistency to notice meaningful resultsWhy strength should always be connected to something you want to do in everyday lifeWhat members can expect when Ed joins the Jim's Gym teamEd's three practical tips for making exercise a lasting part of your lifeTimestamps:00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:47 - Meet Ed Voss: Chartered Physiotherapist00:01:10 - Why Ed Chose a Career in Physiotherapy00:02:35 - Physiotherapy vs Chiropractic Treatment00:04:59 - What Pain Actually Is00:06:53 - Why Pain Can Become Connected to Certain Movements00:08:36 - Why Everyone Experiences Pain Differently00:09:49 - Can Long-Term Arthritis Pain Really Improve?00:11:34 - Why Treatment Must Be Tailored to the Individual00:12:29 - Does Getting Older Automatically Mean More Pain?00:14:18 - What to Do When Pain or Injury Strikes00:16:23 - Should You Trust Google or AI for a Diagnosis?00:18:04 - Why Strength Training Matters as We Age00:19:33 - Can Strength Training Prevent Injuries?00:20:13 - Is It Safe to Exercise Through Pain?00:21:25 - What Strength Training Actually Means00:22:08 - The Minimum Effective Dose for Strength Training00:24:45 - Strength for What?

    2026/07/02

    This week I'm joined by Virginia Walker, Jim's Gym's resident yoga instructor, and this one goes far deeper than you might expect.

    Virginia is a 500-hour trained yoga teacher, a birth doula and a Reiki practitioner. We talk about what yoga actually is, why flexibility is probably the least important thing about it, and how the philosophy behind the practice can change the way you live your life.

    We also get into the surprising link between postnatal yoga and yoga for the over 60s, what a birth doula actually does, and what Reiki is and how it works.

    Oh, and Virginia shares one simple thing you can do first thing tomorrow morning that gets you out of your head and into your body in about 30 seconds.

    Virginia teaches live every Wednesday at 9am at Jim's Gym. After listening to this, you'll understand exactly why our members love her.

    In this episode:
    •⁠ ⁠Why you don't need to touch your toes to do yoga
    •⁠ ⁠The ancient philosophy behind yoga and why it still matters
    •⁠ ⁠How the breath is the quickest route to the present moment
    •⁠ ⁠The connection between birth doula work and later life yoga

  • S3E4 – Jane Diamond – Death, Doulas and Why Talking About It Sets You Free

    S3E4 – Jane Diamond – Death, Doulas and Why Talking About It Sets You Free
    2026/06/19

    It's the conversation most of us avoid. This episode might just change your mind about that.

    Jim sits down with Jane Diamond, a death doula and funeral director based in Stroud, Gloucestershire. Jane runs Family Tree Funeral Company and has spent years helping people and families navigate the end of life with dignity and openness. She's also a Jim's Gym member.

    This isn't a heavy or morbid conversation. It's warm, honest, and surprisingly uplifting. Jane explains why we've lost our way when it comes to talking about death, why children are often far better at it than adults, and why putting a simple plan in place now is one of the kindest things you can do for the people you love.

    👉 Find Jane and Family Tree Funeral Company: https://www.familytreefunerals.co.uk/

    In this episode:

    • How Jane went from training as a psychotherapist to becoming a funeral director and death doula
    • What an end-of-life doula actually does, and how it compares to a birth doula
    • Why we've become disconnected from death as a society, and how that's slowly changing
    • Why children talk about death far more naturally than adults, and what we can learn from that
    • What "Death Cafe" actually is, and why people leave feeling uplifted rather than upset
    • The practical side of end of life planning: wills, lasting power of attorney, and a simple document that holds your whole life in one place
    • Why doing this now means you can relax and just enjoy life
    • One simple way to start a difficult conversation with a parent or loved one
