Comments about Flex-ability.
Following my knee-replacement operation, I followed Karen’s Flex-ability exercises and can thoroughly recommend the programme. I can feel my knee strengthening and the pains in my feet - caused by a change in gait after the op - have massively reduced. Stiffness in my shoulders and upper back has improved too. There is a general ‘feel good’ factor about the exercises.Sheila Mawhinney.
Karen, thank you so much for straightening me out.

I feel like I could take on the world now.

It's brilliant! The stiffness in my back has gone and the sciatica hasn't returned, I'm really pleased I tried it.

Flex-ability.
- Do you have back, and joint (hip, knee, shoulder) aches and pains?
- Do you lack flexibility and your lower back feels 'tight'?
- Do you regularly see a chiropractor or osteopath?
- Do your shoe heels wear unevenly?
- If you don't exercise because of the above, would you like the incentive to do so?
- If you don’t have problems, but would like to maximise your physical capabilities, protect against future accidents and dysfunction, and increase your energy levels.
- Have you just had a baby and need a 'bridging' exercise to help your body re-adjust after pregnancy?
- Do you play a 'one-sided' sport, such as tennis, cricket etc? If so, your body is probably imbalanced.
The description of 'stretching' doesn't do justice to this class, but that's exactly what it is. Don't be put off by this one word, these exercises are not standard, they REALLY do some good, they will expose your weak points and imbalances, and even small corrections will start to make a difference. Try it and see.
Post pregnancy.
During pregnancy your body adjusts to carry your baby and the additional weight as best it can. These changes will put pressure on your shoulders, back, hips and knees. 'Flex-ability' will help to correct, re-align, elongate, and relax tight muscles, and acts as a 'bridge' to get you into regular exercise again.The class is done in bare feet, only a chair is required, no special equipment is needed.
Who is this class suitable for?
