Flair 4 Life

Personal Trainers

If you are new to exercise you are probably feeling a little bit apprehensive about starting exercising in a gym or at home. You might be asking yourself questions like “can I really do this?” “Do I really have it in me to achieve my health and fitness goals?” “I don't know what exercises I should be doing and how often I should be doing them!” and worrying about how to take the first step to achieving the goals you have set yourself.

Do you regularly take exercise but feel you are ending up with little results to show for all your hard work? The problems might be that you are doing the wrong exercises, doing the right exercises but at the wrong time, or your nutrition could be to blame. A balance of the three is the key to success.

By reading this now you are taking the first steps towards your goals. With help, constant support and professional advice from Hannah and Chim, you are on the right path so stay on it.

Jane Rackham - IIST/IIHHT/MSMA

“Don’t just leave it...TREAT IT!”

Jane has been in the Health and Fitness Industry for nearly 20 years. In addition to being a Sports Massage Therapist she is a qualified Gym and Aerobics Instructor.

Practising for nearly 7 years Jane knows that as well as helping to prevent injury, Sports massage can be the start to treating and relieving chronic long term muscle, ligament and posture problems. The path to recovery can be long but she is passionate that you should not just ‘leave it’ you should ‘treat it’ or it will get worse.

Consultations and treatments are very personal taking into account medical history, work activities, injuries and posture. A typical 1hr consultation will not only include massage but postural exercises, assisted stretches. If required it can also include exercises and stretches that you can do at home to assist and speed up rehabilitation.

Jane has important links with other therapy professionals so if she feels unable to help you or thinks that you would benefit from a further or alternative form of treatment she will advise you of this and refer you on if you wish.

Jane is a keen triathlete, and has competed and won at a number of distances and levels over the last 10 years, before which she played hockey for Lansdown Ladies 1st XI in the South West League and represented Gloucestershire. Most recently Jane competed, along with 3,300 men and women, in an Ironman 70.3 in Wiesbaden, Germany 70.3, finishing 15th (and top GB finisher) in her age group. Her plans for 2010 are to compete in Ironman UK in Bolton. She is a member of Tri Team Glos and has developed a particular interest in treating endurance athletes as she has a significant understanding in what it takes to keep a body functioning effectively whilst placing it under the stresses of training.

WHAT IS SPORTS MASAGE?

• It is a strong, dynamic and effective technique used to treat the deeper muscles, tendons and ligaments that can cause problems
