My Classes.
Rehab
I’m qualified to work with people during and after cancer treatment as well as those with conditions such as high blood pressure, COPD, type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, lower back pain and depression or anxiety. Yourself or your GP can refer you to come to me.
Weight Loss
Obesity can be very hard to tackle alone. I can work with you to use exercise to help with weight loss, advise you on diet and lifestyle to enable you to make sustained changes that will reduce and control your weight. Your GP can refer you to me or you can come directly to me.
Fitness
You might have a specific goal or you may just feel that your fitness needs improving to help you get through life. In regular sessions I will work with you to improve your cardio, your strength and your flexibility. I will also give you homework exercises to do between our sessions.
Lower back pain is one of the most common conditions among adults in the UK.
Between 10% and 15% suffering from it at any one time and up to 40% suffering from it each year. Forty to sixty year olds report it the most and the NHS spends around £1.5 billion each year treating it, while the cost to the economy has been estimated at £12 billion a year (2013 figures).
People who spend large parts of their day sitting down commuting and at work are at particular risk.
While those who are overweight or don’t take much exercise are also likely to suffer from the condition. Exercise is often cited as very effective for lower back pain, but with gyms and physiotherapy clinics closed during the coronavirus pandemic it can be very hard to find help right now.
This is why I’m launching my online lower back pain exercise classes.
As a personal trainer with an additional qualification in exercise referral I’m qualified to ensure that exercise is a suitable route forward for your back pain and after a one to one introductory session over video conferencing you will join a class of no more than eight for a ten week program, also delivered via video. Each week we’ll go through exercises designed to strengthen the muscles in your core and I will give you a homework sheet of exercises and activities for each week.
