Post surgery rehab with James "more beneficial than physiotherapy"

I am an active 62 year old male who recently had back surgery for a bulging disc. I am a person who has never liked working out or doing routine type fitness programs. In the past I have attended extensive physiotherapy. My surgeon advised me to avoid any exercise or rehab. Until 3 months post operation. He also recommended I consider a Personal Trainer rather than physiotherapy. I attended at Elevation Fitness in Surrey BC and was referred to James DEMUYNCK who was described as their best PT at assessing and designing recovery programs for people with unique needs. I signed up with James, which turned out to be one of my better decisions. He was amazing at assessing what I could and couldn't do and what I needed to do to regain flexibility, strength and over all fitness. He worked with me using a variety of stretching and strengthens exercises. He introduced me to kettle bells and integrated them as well as other fitness aids in my rehab program. I actually looked forward to our sessions which really surprised me. He told me at the outset that his goal was to get me to like exercise so I would continue with a healthy exercise schedule after we had completed our sessions together. I now attend the gym several times a week and work out on my own and yes I do enjoy it now thank to James. My flexibility and core strength has improved greatly and I feel so much better. I strongly believe my sessions with James were much more beneficial for me than my previous experiences with physiotherapy.

James is a very personable caring person who gives you the feeling he is genuinely concerned about you and takes pride is seeing you improve.
