MOVE WELL TOTAL BODY PROGRAM

This program is a little different from our other programs. The Total Body program focuses on a series of exercises designed to improve overall mobility, strength, and flexibility for the whole body. It will include bodyweight strength exercises and muscle release exercises. You will feel like you’ve worked hard AND your body will feel amazing after the sessions, it will move better and feel better!

Muscle tension and poor mobility can creep up on us over a period of months to years.  There are a number of reasons our mobility declines, especially as we get older.  You may be surprised to learn there are no physiological reasons we start to lose our flexibility as we age, it has more to do with our lack of regular movement and the body’s protective mechanisms during injury and pain.

It is important to stay strong and mobile, cardio exercise such as walking, running, cycling and swimming is not enough.  We need to engage in whole body movement exercises which move the joints through their full range, protecting our muscles, tendons and ligaments against injury.

WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR?

  • People who experience a general feeling of stiffness and tightness throughout their body.

  • People who would like to use the program as a preventative measure to avoid future injuries.

  • People who would like to improve their overall strength & mobility.

  • People who spend a lot of time sitting and near more movement in their day.


THE 4 WEEK PROGRAM

Upon booking, you will be sent a participant screening form which you will fill in and then discuss with Kerri prior to your first session. You will then participate in 4 x 50min 1 on 1 sessions over 4 weeks.

WEEK 1: ASSESS & TREAT
The first session will be spent assessing your movement and using manual therapy to release fascia and muscle around the areas we will be working on. This provides a framework for the remaining sessions, by assessing your movement and mobility a personalised program for your particular needs can be developed.

WEEEK 2: MOBILITY & FLEXIBILITY
The focus of this session is to improve movement of the joints through specific mobility and movement exercises. The exercises are gentle and can be performed by anyone, all movements have modifications depending on your level. Many people with reduced mobility or pain become afraid to move through their full range or to do certain movements.

WEEK 3: STRENGTH & RELEASE
The third session begins the process of strengthening the muscles around throughout the body. Strength is vital in the recovery of injury and pain but also for bone strength which rapidly declines as we get older. The strength exercises are mostly using your own bodyweight but they may include the use of bands and light dumbbells if required.

We will also go through some targeted release exercises using the foam roller or spiky ball. The benefit of release work is significant, especially if you experience a flare up in the future. It can also be used effectively to manage existing pain or injury.

WEEK 4: MOBILITY & STRENGTH COMBINED
This session will consolidate sessions 2 & 3 by integrating both mobility & body strength. This session can be filmed on your iPhone (optional), so you have the program for future reference.

FEEDBACK

OMG, how much looser do my neck, middle back and shoulders feel? And that rotator cuff…I knew it was bad but goodness, that stretch using the chair and sliding hips from left to right. I’ll be keeping that in my repertoire, for sure. Linda K

I've gained so much from the two sessions. My glute/hamstring tightness is a lot better. So much so that I could jog today with more mobility of movement and hardly any pain. Lorraine A

Attending Kerri’s classes has been of real benefit. As well as addressing general mobility and flexibility, the exercises have help ease my lower back pain. Kerri provides a warm and encouraging atmosphere that makes the challenges surmountable. Anna

I have found both my time in the Clinic & the Exercise Classes very beneficial for helping my body heal from injury & impairment.  Carolyn
