A lady who is currently attending Elevate strength and balance classes was, before the sessions, unable to get down onto the floor as she struggled to bend her knees. It was thought she was going to need a knee replacement as she was in so much pain and discomfort. The situation was really impacting on her quality of life, her leg muscles were weak and she couldn’t go up one step without pain. She was waiting for an x-ray and couldn’t walk further than 200 metres. Now, after just 8 classes, she can do ‘sit to stand’ movements unsupported and can also get down onto the floor, as well as being able to walk 3 to 4 miles.

The lady’s physical ability has improved considerably and has indirectly saved money for the NHS as she has refused an x-ray and further treatment because she is now pain free and able to return to hobbies which she used to be able to do.
