MOIRA'S JOURNEY FROM WAITING LIST TO WALKING WELL:

I was put on a waiting list in 2023. I was told to ‘get fit’ for the op so I joined Tracy’s chair exercise classes January 2024.

FEELING BENEFITS:

My hip was a problem; it also affected my knee & my general well-being.

From the start of me attending classes on Tuesday & Friday each week,

I started to feel the benefits.

The range of movements covered over all joints gave me a real balance & to how I started to feel.

Working with the ball & resistance bands strengthened & stabilized my knees & helped my hip a lot.

My hip movement remained good & minimized pain so that I hardly used any pain killers!

 .

VALUABLE & PRACTICAL LESSONS:

Tracy worked on our core strength & balance.

We learnt how to lift & support our own body weight.

This was the most beneficial of all exercises.

Lifting oneself up from chairs, beds & being able to move about with that level of independence was liberating!

That lesson alone was the one I valued most.

I believe it this ought to be taught prior to all knee & hip surgeries.

.

On top of all the wonderful practical skills Tracy teaches in her classes, Tracy herself has a positive attitude. Her happy, informative classes are a joy & testament to my quick recovery.

I had my operation late 1^st July- home on the 2^nd.

Walking around shopping 10 days later

Back in classes with full participation 15^th July.

.

I’m so pleased- Thank you Tracy,

Your support & classes are wonderful & have made such a difference.

I can’t recommend your classes highly enough.
