Significant Improvements

“I have been exercising with Lynne or over a year now, once or twice a week. I came in to the sessions with the impression I was reasonably strong; I was a regular walker and did Pilates. I was looking for a class that provided a mix of exercise to keep me flexible and continue to build on strength.

I have had three spinal operations after a disc prolapse at vertebrae L4/5 and L5/S1. The prolapses and consequent surgery left me with paraesthesia in the big and second toe on both my left and right foot, a slight footdrop on my left hand side, an absence of reflexes in my left lower leg and an inability to raise my legs sideways or stand on my toes. Although these things  did not greatly affect my everyday working life I was noticing that my balance was  deteriorating and I had challenges with my ankles turning frequently and on occasions would  fall.

Since joining The Body Tonic Group, I have seen a significant improvement in my balance, strength, posture and my ability to lift my legs in routine exercise. I can’t remember 
the last time my ankles turned over and I have found the results quite remarkable. I have gone from being in a position where I had assumed the damage was permanent to appreciating that with targeted exercise your body can adapt to overcome certain anomalies.

Lynns understanding of anatomy, form and function down to precise muscle groups and the exactness of a specific move allows each individual person in her class to obtain the absolute best outcomes. She has an inherent passion to ensure that each customer is catered for and will modify an exercise to accommodate the needs of that individual.

I have never experienced a group class where the instructor has applied so much experience and care and would highly recommend Lynn to anyone interested in improving their health.”
