specialises in...
Rehabilitation from Injury
Injury can be an extremely frustrating thing, especially when you find yourself free from pain but not strong enough to function or continue training properly. The key goal is not only to get out of pain but also to strengthen the functionality of the body so that you can return to achieving your goals within a chosen sport or life activity without the fear of injury reoccurrence.
Muscle Toning and Shaping
The use of body weight and free weights is a fantastic way to shape and tone the body. Following a full body workout programme that uses weight to load all the muscles of the body will help you shape up all those annoying areas whilst making you feel stronger all over. This will progress you to your goal of having a toned body with fantastic shape.
Massage
Today’s world is full of stress and tension. It is imperative that we counter balance this tightness with massage. There are a variety of different styles and massage techniques that can be used for varying purposes. Utilising massage to help with rehabilitation from injury, muscle relaxation or just overall stress release will help you towards your goal of performing better in any activity and will make your body feel fantastic.
Resistance Training
Resistance training focuses on applying a resistance to a given muscle to increase the strength and tone of that muscle. Using a variety of resistance techniques, from free weights to body weight, set in a specific periodised program, will cause the body to adapt and strengthen itself. This, in turn will create a body that is stronger, healthier and looks fantastic.
Nutrition
The most important factor to health and wellness is nutrition. What you put into your body affects the way it looks, feels and performs. Analyzing your diet using a food diary and then following a structured and progressive food plan that is realistic and achievable will help you to lose unwanted weight, whilst significantly improving your health and lifestyle.
