Why did I Create S&S?

My motivation to create Stretch & Stabilise was to help my mum, who battled through double hip arthritis and rising blood pressure. As a rehab personal trainer I knew to feel better, she needed to move more to improve her strength, heart and lungs, which would help;

1) Reduce arthritic symptoms

2) Reduce high blood pressure

3) Regain mobility

Community: I designed S&S with an hour of movement variety in mind and a place for mum to feel part of a friendly fitness community. Together members could instil confidence within her and each other and create healthy, consistent movement habits for everyone to replicate into their daily lives.

Physio help: During the class, members have voiced a great deal of value from the 1 on 1 time to ask me questions and access my expertise as a personal trainer with experience working around many physiotherapists. I have clarified class members instructions from physio’s and guided them through individual issues like achy joints or muscles. (For medical or serious Physio related issues it is important that you see a doctor or physio first). As part of the S&S class, I can then help you through their suggestions!

Variety: The S&S class variety is scalable to allow for lower intensity when your joints ache, and higher intensity when you feel better. The expertly selected exercises will help to improve:

1) Discomfort (from debilitating joint pain like arthritis)

2) Flexibility

3) Mobility

4) Balance

5) Posture

6) Coordination
