HOW ARE OUR CLASSES DIFFERENT?

- Therapist led - form over reps
- Based around individual needs and to help you get back to active living and training
- Deep coaching element
- Expert knowledge of human biomechanics, anatomy and functional movement
- Emphasis on Functional training and relating it to your actual life
- Train for your body - not against it!
- Train with or around Injury for recovery and longevity
- Develop new skills
- Move away from outdated thinking and training habits
- Have fun with likeminded people
- Learn about your own body and what it needs
- Learn and practise active recovery

**Training in adulthood should look different than it did when you were 20! Meet yourself where you are at and not where a coach with no kids or life committments tells you you should be!

**Training should compliment and add to your life and health - not punish or take from movement, strength or function!

** Training against your body or capacity at any given time only adds to compression and overload - 'TRAIN SMARTER, NOT HARDER'!

** Become dynamic, strong and resilient for living - not instagram likes!

** Value your health!

** No egoes allowed!

INCOMING RANT 💥💥💥

If your Therapist, Physio or Doctor tell you to "just rest it, it will come right" ignore them!

Inaction solves nothing and this is the dismissive, lazy and outdated recommendations still been given to people.

You need answers, a plan of action AND somebody to guide you through it. Don't settle for hap hazard treatment because after resting, the problem will still be there!!!!!!

Demand more and find the right people to get you there.

PAIN is a complex issue.

When we look at pain outside of the typical injury scenario, we need to really delve deep and look at the bigger picture.

PAIN is information and your body is asking for balance.

It will start with a whisper, that gradually gets louder until you have no choice but to listen! 💣

MRI Imaging is useful, but is not the whole picture and is only one dimensional. It scares you into believing you are forever broken 🤕

You look for a quick fix, someone to ‘take the pain away’. Lay blame - a bulging disc, genetics, arthritis, previous surgery, too busy, too tired …. Avoidance & excuses 😮‍💨

CHOOSE YOUR HARD -Yes its tough, to make time for you, but if you don't do it- nobody will. It takes work and dedication but I know which hard I choose.

Where recovery really lies is in what you don’t want to face!

Wellbeing, health, fitness, body composition, habits, mindset, old beliefs, accountability, ACTION!

Various therapies help to reduce the pain but it keeps coming back. The Pain doesn’t necessarily mean damage - but your brain now thinks it does. It tries to protect you through fear and limit your movement, your quality of life dwindles.

What your brain really needs is reassurance through stimulis, graded load exposure, skill development, strength, movement, variation, consistency, nervous system regulation. balance, presence, showing up for you.

Rehab is not a set of exrcises. Rehab IS Training. Training for life, the things that matter to you and the health to enjoy it. 🥰
