Claire L. (Gisborne)
Commenced training November 2022
Claire, a nurse, came to Restore Health & Fitness for a massage with a lower back problem that had been ongoing for 25 years. After four massage sessions on her back, it was suggested that she start a rehabilitation exercise program to strengthen her back, that started with band work and body weight exercises, and then into doing weights. Since starting the program in late 2022 Claire has made excellent progress and is now at the stage where she has no back pain at all and can accomplish 45kg deadlifts.
Marc R. (Sunbury)
Commenced training March 2022
Marc came to us with a weight loss goal initially. Marc had worked with other personal trainers previously and despite their best intentions, the results were not being achieved. After meeting with Marc, we quickly discovered a history of (extreme) sports related injuries and prior surgeries. First we needed to start with a rehabilitation program to improve function before we could even consider more advanced training. Marc made excellent progress and some months later regained full (pre-injury) function in his shoulder and even saw improvement with his nerve damage, which he was told by doctors would be permanent. Marc still trains with us weekly under our guidance and expertise, with a program that is continually adapted as he gains more strength and fitness.
Susie J. (Riddells Creek)
Commenced training March 2019
Office worker, Susie, was a long-term client when she injured her shoulder by reaching into the back seat of her car to get her handbag. The injury resulted in Susie having a frozen shoulder. The frozen shoulder resulted in Susie seeing an Orthopaedic Surgeon and being faced with injections or shoulder surgery. Susie stated to the Orthopaedic Surgeon that she would try to remedy her shoulder with exercises from her Personal Trainer. It took 8 months of manual therapy and rehabilitation exercises, but we were able to resolve the issue and get Susie to where she could lift a 6kg kettlebell above her head. No surgery required!
Greg S. (Sunbury)
Commenced training September 2015
Greg, a retiree, has been a client for nine years. He started with Restore Health & Fitness two weeks after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and trains 1 day a week for an hour and walks 5kms three days a week. The exercises he does have changed over the years with only slight changes to the agility course we started from day one. Over the nine years Greg has been training, we have managed to maintain no significant change to his condition.
These are just a small sample of some of the clients we have been able to help get back to a functional life at Restore Health & Fitness.
