Attention to detail, precision assessment

In 2021, I worsened a lower back issue that eventually led to me requiring surgery. I underwent a microdiscectomy for a sequestered disc. I began a slow recovery but became concerned when some of my symptoms returned. These included further lower back pain, issues with sitting, nerve pain down my right leg and poor mobility. I began searching for a trainer who could get me strong again, get me working safely in a gym as well as guide me through the stages of recovery. I also needed a deeper level of understanding as to what was actually going on with my back. My surgeon and physios didn’t quite prepare me for life post-surgery. Lisa has delivered these things to me and so much more. The initial assessment was far more thorough than any I had previously. I appreciated the attention to detail and the care and precision of the assessment. Everyone's back is different and there is no one size fits all approach to injury and so we were able to create a personalised and very specific plan of attack which made me feel very safe and confident. I began working with Lisa on a weekly basis and she was able to tailor the workouts for me so that we kept things safe but also made progress. I am slowly building up to being self-sufficient and now have developed a more well-rounded approach to training that I will use forever. In addition to this I have admired Lisa's passion, commitment, openness and sense of humour.
