We are Adam and Jonny, the Fibro Guys.
Our work sits at the intersection of pain science, movement education, exercise, and lived experience. We spend our time helping people make sense of chronic pain, hypermobility and complex bodies through clear explanation, honest conversation and practical thinking.
We started The Fibro Guy because much of the information people receive about pain and hypermobility is either outdated, overly simplistic or disconnected from real life. Many people are left confused, cautious around movement, or unsure how to engage with exercise in a way that feels appropriate for them.
Rather than offering fixed solutions or rigid protocols, our focus is on understanding. We aim to explain how current research thinks about pain, movement, proprioception and physical capacity, and to talk openly about where the evidence is strong, where it is still developing, and where individual context matters most.
Our backgrounds are grounded in applied human movement science and education. We have trained extensively in biomechanics, postural and movement analysis, psychology, and the ways altered movement patterns, sensory input and nervous system responses interact over time.
This work has shaped how we think about bodies. Instead of viewing pain or instability as isolated mechanical problems, we consider the broader picture, including movement habits, learning history, stress, fatigue and perception.
Alongside this, we both work as t specialised training coaches and educators, supporting people who want to think more clearly about how exercise fits into their lives.
An important part of our work is trauma informed.
Over the years, many people we have worked with have shared experiences of trauma alongside pain or joint instability. These experiences can influence how safe the body feels, how movement is perceived, and how stress responses show up physically.
Because of this, we are both qualified self defence instructors. In our context, self defence is not about aggression or confrontation. It is about boundaries, awareness, choice and restoring a sense of agency through movement.
This perspective informs how we think about safety, autonomy and nervous system responses, and why we place so much emphasis on education, consent and individual pacing.
Both of us have lived through our own experiences of pain, instability and rehabilitation. That personal history shapes how we communicate, how we listen, and why we are careful about certainty and promises.
We know what it is like to be on the receiving end of confusing advice. That experience is a large part of why we are committed to clarity and honesty in everything we share.
Some people follow our work through videos, podcasts and written content. Others choose to explore structured courses or have conversations with us directly.
However someone engages, our goal is the same: to make complex topics more understandable and to help people feel more informed when thinking about their bodies, movement and exercise.
