Physiotherapy & Exercise for Osteoporosis

"Four years ago I had two osteoporotic fractures in my lower spine which resulted in ongoing pain and I was scared of what the future had in store for me. I was unable to find anyone to give me information about exercise and movement that I could do safely and so I was doing very little, only walking. Then 2 years ago I was fortunate enough to find Rebecca and I started going to her class. At first I was very hesitant to do the exercises for fear of further fractures, but very quickly I came to trust her because of her wealth of experience with people with my condition.

 I have gradually got stronger, more mobile and gained confidence in my body again, with the bonus of pain relief.

I can’t thank Rebecca enough for her help, support and encouragement in the time I have been working with her."

"I was really pleased to discover Bex and her strengthening classes 2 years ago. She is very knowledgeable on osteoporosis so I know that all the exercise routines are going to help me physically. As she is a physio I trust her approach. She is very attentive in class and mindful of my low back problems, adapting exercises for me when needed. My core and upperbody strength are now better than ever and this has definitely helped my back problems as well as my bones.

I've also made a whole group of new friends and look forward to my Thursday classes."

Susan, Brighton

"I had spinal fusion surgery after two years of excruciating pain.  Afterwards I was really frightened that is would come back and was guarding against more pain. Bex came to my rescue and gave me the best rehabilitation programme that anybody could wish for! She listened to me and my body and over the months we have built my strength back up and I am able to live again. Bex really tailors a programme for your needs and I highly recommend consulting her. Thank you Bex for all your help!"

Sally, Haywards Heath

"Lifting heavier weights (eg the hoover) is no trouble to me now, as I'm much stronger than I was. I can actually dig deeper in the garden  - and with no aches and pains after! It's so good to have that feeling when you can move your body more easily and with more strength. Bending and stretching feels much easier - I'm more flexible than I was."

Gill, Hove

"The classes are so good, Bex concentrates on strengthening the muscles particularly around the joints and the whole body, to ensure good posture , strength and flexibility. Now , I can walk long distances without my hip or knee suddenly giving way!
Which is just wonderful."

Elisa, Hove

"Having suffered from osteoporosis for ten years, I was so pleased to join Bex’s classes. She truly understands how the disease affects people’s lives and emotions. She tailors her exercises to suit the group; everything we do is clearly explained and directly related to everyday activities; and she provides a range of exercises for different muscle groups. Bex is aware of individual issues during her classes and makes sure that we all benefit as much as possible from taking part. I feel healthier and more knowledgeable about my condition than I have for a long time."

Vanessa, Hove

"Bex’s studio, it is relaxed fun but serious work and we all come out feeling the benefit.

Because Bex is a qualified Physio I have had quite a few private sessions as well . I  lost six inches in height resulting in my muscles needing some persuasion at times, and she is great at finding the worst spot. Thank you Bex."

Kaye, Worthing

"Bex’s classes are fun, friendly, yet professional and always varied. We work hard but safely and within our own limits. She cares for us as individuals in the small group setting."

Julia, Hove

"I have been going to these classes for a few years and have no doubt that they have benefitted me enormously.

Bex is always happy to discuss any worries and I have complete confidence in her professional advice.

Her classes are always fun and I now have a new group of friends who I meet up with socially."

Jan, Hove

"I first heard about "Bex" from my endocrinologist but he did not give me a contact number! Fate came to my rescue when I found her contact details in our local community centre and immediately got in touch! It was the best thing I did! Her patience, skill and positive help and encouragement have saved my failing frame!! I would recommend Bex most highly to anyone who suffers from osteoporosis, scoliosis or even poor posture over time. She is my saving Angel!"

Drusillia, Haywards Heath

"I have been attending classes with Bex for a few years now. The improvement to my general well-being is really noticeable, my posture, my strength and my flexibility are all so much better than when I started. I look forward to my Thursday morning sessions."
