Exercise Therapist?

Did anyone work with an exercise therapist (not just a personal trainer) pre or post-op that they'd like to recommend?  It doesn't appear to be a component of my surgeon's program, but I might like to check it out all the same.

Thanks!

Hi Debbie!

I haven't worked with an exercise therapist. Just my personal trainer, Colin. I'll tell you....he has been fantastic! He really has helped me realize my potential and he doesn't push me too hard. He understands the way our body image affects our psych too!

He will be our guest at the Living Life Group at Roger Williams on February 18th. You're more than welcome to join us and ask any questions you may have.

The meeting is 7-9 PM in the Greene Lounge. Go through the Main entrance and follow the bright yellow signs. You'll be greeted at the cafeteria doors!

I hope you find what you're looking for.

Thanks for the info, Jules!  I guess one reason I was looking for an exercise therapist, honestly, is because I felt I could get it covered under BC.  A trainer is totally out of pocket, which I'd have an issue with at the moment.

I will keep the 18th in mind.  I think I'm hot and heavy that week w/ pre-op testing, but I'll see if I can fit it into the schedule.

I've been wondering what the Living Life Group is all about.  Maybe you could explain for some of use newer folk?

Hey Deb,

The Living Life Group is focused toward Post-Op Living! Each month we have a guest who joins us informally to chat and ask any questions.

I hope you can make it some time!

If you're interested in being put on the email reminder list, please send an email to the address in my signature!

Take care!

Jules
