For Health Care Professionals

Looking for a safe and gentle intro to exercise for your patients?

‘Body Renewal & Core Connection’ is a 4 week core-fitness program designed by a physiotherapist for her clients post injury and convalescence.

Which of your patients would benefit from this program?

• Anyone who’s been inactive for a prolonged period!
• It’s great for perimenopausal women who suddenly feel their body is a bit foreign
• People 6+ weeks post abdominal surgery with the surgeon’s all-clear to exercise (it’s actually ideal for them…it’s a complete core rehab program, including education around anatomy)
• Anyone with STABLE chronic or recurrent MSK conditions where lifestyle modifications are SO key (such as back pain or arthritis)
• People dealing with high levels of stress (slow, gentle, mindful exercise helps the body to rejuvenate without acting as an additional stressor, and the breath focus of the program – with special emphasis on slow, deep breathing – boosts the parasympathetic nervous system.)
• And basically ANYONE who needs a gentle introduction to exercise…but who can’t get to a gym regularly, or who might be intimidated by the gym or a yoga studio.

Client success stories:*

DRA & hernia (pre-op):

“It was difficult for me to find a program that I could trust and that would take me step by step through the process of regaining core strength.

Carmen takes time to explain how to do each exercise properly. The program builds up each week at a good pace. There are enough new challenges each week that it doesn’t get boring.

I am loving doing the exercises and feeling strong again. I can already see that the area under my hernia is a lot flatter than previously!

[Now] I am feeling motivated and strong. I’m excited to keep building strength and feeling good in my body again.”

Emily

Lx osteoporosis & hiatus hernia:

“I’ve been looking for a convenient pilates course for some time. (I was anxious due to an osteoporosis diagnosis in the lower spine.) I felt that an experienced physio would take me through a very safe beginners programme.

I found the explanations about how to become aware of one’s core, how to engage the core and why that’s important very useful.

By the start of the week three workouts I realised I was actually gaining strength, able to do some of the exercises with less strain than earlier or to a higher level.

[Now] I feel confident, it feels like an accomplishment. I feel like I’ve made a new discovery that will help me feel comfortable about myself.” 

MH

Post-op appendectomy:

“Before starting the program I had post appendectomy pain and restricted movement. I was easing back into running and [needed] to rebuild my core safely.

I liked that I could do the workouts in my own time. I enjoyed the change from strength training (which I was struggling with) to the yoga.

It was a relief to realise something was working, that I could be able to do something again to get back fitness. Loved the program. I feel like it was exactly what I needed at that stage of my surgery recovery.

Now life looks so much better. I’m excited to get out and exercise again instead of apprehensive.

I’m looking forward to running. Lots and lots and lots of running!”**
