Lynda
I've thoroughly enjoyed the aqua therapy class. I have not suffered as much acute pain in the lower back,
although the top back is still very stiff and troubles me at night.
In the class I really notice the good stretch of very many muscles especially in the legs.

I regularly attend Aqua Therapy classes at the Aspire Training
Centre in Stanmore. This class which is always oversubscribed,
caters to a wide range of people, many of whom are older, partially
disabled or recovering from surgery. Lynda takes us through a
programme of exercise, carefully devised to ensure that everyone
experiences a gentle but thorough workout in the water. Individuals
are encouraged to work at their own pace, while avoiding pain and
discomfort.
Having recently undergone a total hip replacement as a result of the recent onset of both
osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, I expect to have knee surgery in the near future. It is
essential that I exercise regularly and strengthen the muscles in my legs. I also have to
maintain strength in my shoulders and arms, which have become very painful. All this is
possible only in water, as weight bearing exercise causes further inflammation in my joints.
The class is perfect for me and for many others in a similar situation.
Lynda's instructions are clear and she inspires us with her energy and humour, people respond
with great enthusiasm.
I would thoroughly recommend this excellent
Aqua Therapy programme.

I wanted to thank you for your help over the last 12 months with your exercises you provide at
the aqua therapy on Thursdays at Aspire, Stanmore. I have benefited considerably, my muscle strength
and balance have improved so much.
I now look forward each week to your class and once again thank you for your expertise.

I had major back surgery last year and had lost confidence in walking in the swimming pool.
A friend suggested I try the Aqua Therapy class at Aspire leisure centre, Stanmore.
Lynda who
takes this class is very cheerful, professional and instils confidence
I have only been attending for 8 weeks but I feel more confident and would not miss her class
for the world, each week I feel that I have made a little progress, I think
she is a star!
Marie, London
When I had the hemenectomy, for cervical compression, 2 years
ago, the Royal Free were of the opinion I would not improve and
recommended hydrotherapy at Stanmore Hospital. After a few weeks
one-to-one, I graduated to the Aspire centre, Aqua therapy class
under the instruction of Lynda whom I cannot praise highly enough,
she is such a wonderful and patient instructor.
J. Pedder, Hertfordshire
I have found a combination of
MLD and
massage to be most beneficial
for my long term back condition. I have tried many alternative treatments over the years and
I do see an osteopath when required. It is
fantastic to find one therapist with both MLD and massage skills, so I do not
have to explain what treatment one therapist is carrying out when I
go to see the other! I also feel I get a significant benefit with seeing
Lynda because of her extensive knowledge of the body and how it
works, together with
her experience & skills across a range of different treatments, this enables us to find the best solution to keep me mobile and reduce the
level of pain I have to contend with. I would not
hesitate to recommend Lynda.
