Featuring Bob, Host of the “Pain-Free Living” Podcast

In this episode, Ann and Sally sit down with Bob — the curious mind and big heart behind the Pain-Free Living Podcast.

Bob has always been fascinated by how things work… especially the human body. But it wasn’t until mid-career that he had the chance to completely change direction. A single visit to watch an osteopath at work opened the door to a new passion — and ultimately a new life.

Fast forward to today, and Bob is an osteopath who believes one thing above all else:

👉 Movement is medicine — for every body, at every age.

From working with people living with disabilities to helping clients in their 70s, 80s, and 90s regain strength, confidence, and mobility, Bob has dedicated his career to helping people experience what’s possible when they start moving again.

• How a mid-career moment of curiosity changed Bob’s entire life path
• Why understanding the body’s mechanics leads to better health
• The powerful link between movement, longevity, and living pain-free
• Real stories of clients (including over-70s!) who transformed their mobility
• Why disability should never mean the end of movement
• How to start moving more — even if you feel stuck, scared, or unsure where to begin
• The shared belief between Bob, Ann, and Sally that small steps create big change

• It’s never too late to change your career — or your health.
• Consistent gentle movement is often more powerful than intense workouts.
• The body is designed to adapt — at 20, 40, 70, or 90 years old.
• Curiosity can lead you to the next chapter of your life.
• Movement is not just physical; it improves confidence, independence, and emotional wellbeing.

Bob is the host of the Pain-Free Living Podcast and a practicing osteopath who works extensively with:

• People aged 70+
• People with disabilities
• Anyone wanting to improve their movement, reduce pain, and live more freely

His philosophy is simple and powerful:

Movement is Medicine
