Six weeks. One hour a week. A programme built around one person’s goals. That’s 360 Turnaround, my rehabilitation programme combining osteopathy, targeted exercise and mindset coaching. Barbara recently completed it and has kindly shared her experience in her own words.
Where it started
Barbara came to find out more about what I offer, and we talked through everything: her health, her past injuries and what she wanted to be able to do again, including getting back to playing bowls. We agreed three goals for the six weeks, and I carried out some simple physical tests to see where she was starting from.
In her words
“At the first session, we went through all the reasons that I wanted to do this and she encouraged me to talk about my health and injuries generally. We then identified 3 goals listing things I’d like to achieve by the end of the 6 weeks.”
“There was no ‘bone cracking’ or pain involved (my previous past experience of osteopathy) just gentle manipulation and less or no pain as a result.”
“To my amazement, I felt keen to do these each day between appointments (not a feeling I’ve ever experienced before when a health professional has given me exercises to do!).”
“At the final (sixth) session, Daniela returned to her original notes and repeated the physical tests from the first session. The improvement was startling and demonstrated to me how much my mobility and mental attitude had improved in that short time.”
How the six weeks work
The first session is a full case history, goal-setting and baseline tests. After that, each weekly one-hour session combines osteopathic treatment, exercises and mindset strategies. You take home exercises adapted to what you can do, and I send a written summary the day after. We start each session by talking through how the exercises went and adapt them as needed, then repeat the tests partway through and again at the end.
What happens next
Barbara has moved on to my monthly Maintenance Club, so she has support to keep going rather than being left to manage alone.
Is it right for you?
As Barbara says: “For anyone else, this may not be the right approach at all, but the whole point is the flexibility of what is on offer allowing for a different approach depending on individual need.” Her experience is her own, and results vary from person to person.
360 Turnaround may suit you if you’re waiting for NHS physiotherapy or recovering after surgery (with your surgeon’s or consultant’s go-ahead). The fee is £440, payable upfront, and the next programme starts on Monday 16 November.
