Empower (verb)
- make someone stronger, give them the freedom and confidence to do something, especially in relation to controlling their life
I feel EMPOWER sums up so much of what I aim to achieve every time I see a patient or teach a Pilates class.
- I want you to understand what may be causing or contributing to your pain or symptoms, so that you feel you can take control.
- I want to take some of the fear and worry away by helping you to understand what’s going on, modifying activities as needed, so that you can move more and with more confidence
- If Physio isn’t the right course of treatment for you at this stage, I want you to feel confident in the next steps and know who you should be seeing
- I want you to understand the reasoning behind the treatment and the exercises, and have an active part in the decision making, so that you feel as invested in your rehab as I am.
Move better, feel better, stay better!
