Testimonials
Testimonials
"After hip surgery I was left not knowing what or how much I should do to improve but not injure myself. Neil, Claire and team helped me have the confidence to regain my fitness without the risk of doing the wrong things or overstretching myself. When the second hip started to deteriorate they built my strength, prior to the operation, specifically to support the hip and commenced an appropriate level of exercise shortly after my op. My recovery was unbelievably faster than it had been the first time. To see me work out now you would probably be unaware that I have had replacements. I still work with Neil even though the rehabilitation is complete because I have a tailored programme for my needs and devised around the things I really enjoy doing. I continue to improve and know that I will not be pushed into exercises that might undo all of the surgeon’s hard work! "
"Neil is an inspiring star there is hope for us all. He is very caring and thorough. He has steered me in the right direction and has made it possible for me to make life changes."
"I am now 89 and have been training with Neil weekly for just two years. A spinal injury prevents me from walking far, but I have been swimming regularly for some years. Neil began by coaxing me to do gentle exercises to work all my muscles and I have come to respect his good judgement of things I can nearly do. I responded to his encouragement and optimism and have steadily grown stronger and more flexible. Elderly people often lose some of their natural balance, which makes them liable to falls and injury. When I started with Neil, my balance was very bad, though I had not realised it. Now it is very much better and I can, for example, stand securely on one foot for 30 seconds or more. Training with Neil has become a regular part of my weekly activities and I very much look forward to our encounters because I now feel much younger (!) and that my quality of life has improved a great deal."
