"As a result of a serious car accident, I suffered numerous injuries: vision impairment, many broken bones, and traumatic brain jnjury. As part of my rehabilitation, it was necessary to regain muscular co-ordination and fitness. With Heather's help we were able to build a program to address these needs.
I worked with Heather 2 hours a day, 3 times a week. I worked on free weights, gym machines and exercise balls. We spent some time in the pool also, doing some aqua exercises to minimize stress on my muscles and broken bones.
Upon completion of my workouts, we would pay attention to my walking, which slowly improved. We did this for several months, until I went to Vancouver for therapy.
Upon my return from Vancouver, Heather and I agreed that I could continue "on my own".
As a direct result of Heather's professionalism: caring, patience and knowledge, I was able to maximize my recovery. Working with Heather was both positive and rewarding. I thank her sincerely.
