GP
Exercise Referral Specialist
& Health
Consultant
As time
went on I realised that so many of my clients had health
conditions, that I really should endeavour to learn more
about prescribing exercise for specific cases and
populations. Losing
weight is far more than just looking good, it's about
improving your quality of life, sometimes even saving your life!
So I studied a Diploma in GP Exercise Referral, which meant
that I was qualified to work safely with people who have chronic health
conditions, easing their symptoms and often reversing their
condition.
I have
extensive experience working within a GP referral
scheme in London, and having worked closely with Doctors and
Physiotherapists, I now help people with their precise
medical and health needs. As part of my work in London, I
also conduct comprehensive Health Assessments, often highlighting
conditions people didn't even know they had. I would then work with
them at rectifying the conditions, by prescribing relevant exercise
and nutrition.
My specific
areas are: Hypertension, Post-Cardiac Rehab, Diabetes,
Obesity, High Cholesterol, Osteoarthritis, Mechanical Low Back Pain,
Joint Replacement (hip/knee), COPD, Osteoporosis.
Neurological
conditions that I work with: Stoke/TIA/CVA, Ataxia, Parkinson's
Disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Dementia,
Brain injuries and secondary neurological conditions.
