Nuffield Health Battersea Fitness & Wellbeing Gym -
Awa Chats I went to the joint pain programme after hearing about it following my physio sessions at St Georgeās hospital. I was a little apprehensive as Iāve never been to the gym before. Ryan did an assessment with me to find out what my level wasā¦ itās necessary! After the first session I was in pain but it was a different kind of pain. I was using parts of my body that I hadnāt used in ages!
Iāve had a lower back pain for years but this pain was new. It was a healthy pain. The pain came from the muscles in my body that I āshould have been usingā but wasnāt due to my body compensating the pain I was permanently in. OMG! This was a complete revelationā¦ I was using wrong parts of my body to do everyday exercises and I never knew that. Alex, trainer and class teacher is absolutely brilliant. Iām sure she has memorised each personās capabilities because she give us the same exercises but they are sort-of-ish tailored to each person. Sheās amazing!
I never got that feeling where I couldnāt be bothered to go. I even went to the class when I felt rough because I knew it would make me feel better. Exercising is not just a physical activity but itās a mental one too. It makes me feel so good inside and I canāt recommend the joint pain programme enough. I tell everyone about it!
Iām just sad that the 12 weeks programme has come to an end. It helped me so much and although Iāve another 12 weeks, that is going to fly by.
Thank you Alex, the team and thank you Nuffield Health for providing this invaluable service!
