Susannah Chester-Davis is an experienced fitness instructor who has worked as a rehabilitative trainer for number of years. Suzi's origins are in professional dancing and she graduated as an associate dance teacher in 1993.

After a successful professional dancing career she concentrated her efforts teaching ballet, modern, jazz and tap dancing to both children and adults. This was superseded in 2000 when Suzi decided to diversify in to the fitness industry.

Suzi is qualified in diverse spectrum of fitness disciplines. She currently teaches and presents at numerous local health clubs and leisure centers. Suzi has now worked as our rehab supervisor since Jan 08.

Suzi designs exercise programmes to help patients strengthen specific muscle groups to overcome their pain and reduce the chances of recurrence. Sessions are usually one-to-one to begin with and can lead to small groups of no more than three people in our private gym. The sessions make use of mat based exercises or gym balls. There will be an emphasis on good postural awareness and postural re-education, strengthening core stability muscles and stretching with good techniques to increase muscular flexibility and improve on joint mobility.

People who suffer with bad backs, and feel they need to exercise and are fearful of their pain in case they aggravate their symptoms are most likely to benefit from Dee's sessions. It may be the first step towards achieving a stronger, healthier you with the confidence to continue and progress back to your own choice of exercise or sport.
