{I used to have sciatica and pain in my legs sitting for many hours with my clients in counselling sessions. Now I don't have any pain anymore. The chairlift classes are so brilliant as they have realigned my hips which were the cause of pain in the first place. Doing movement work while sitting has had many wonderful benefits: it keeps my hips in alignment, it has increased my range of motion, and has created more space in the hip joint and the tightness, which was the cause of the pain in the first place, is gone.

Movement and yoga student

{Ruth Ann brought her excellent knowledge of anatomy and yoga to the assessment of areas in my body with limited movement as a result of past injuries and conditioning. I have felt confident and involved in the exercise program created to release old patterns and to improve movement. As I continue with our plan, I feel the difference it makes!

Ruth Ann works with people over the age of 60 who are facing mobility problems that arise with the passing of time, or through chronic conditions.

Joint Surgeries

Once post-operative therapies are finished, you may want a self-managed movement routine. Our gentle, targeted sessions help you rebuild and sustain balance, strength and agility.

Chronic Conditions and Diseases

Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Heart Disease and COPDs are just some of the conditions that arrive with age – and stay. A gentle personalized mobility program can help re-establish healthy movement patterns and reduce pain.

Injuries

Rebounding in the aftermath of an injury can be hard for anyone, regardless of age. We work to decrease the stiffness, swelling and tension that can plague the older adult whose recovery is often slower

General Ageing

We are never too old to form new patterns and new approaches to movement. The MoveBetter program offers tools to restore the confidence and freedom that come with improved mobility.
