WEIGHT LOSS PACKAGE With Personal Training

Vitality and weight loss package
            ….empowering you to lose weight and feel great!
We offer a tailor-made nutrition and personal training programme to help you achieve your weight loss goals and to improve your overall sense of well being.
Kerry Torrens DipION, Nutritional Therapist and Nicola Rapley, Premier Three, Personal Trainer will work with you on a one-to-one basis to provide you with a personalised food plan and exercise programme, as well as lifestyle advice, to help you lose weight – and keep it off.
We don’t believe in faddy diets and dramatic weight loss. We advocate that the healthiest way to lose weight – and keep it off - is to lose it gradually through good nutrition and regular exercise.  Losing weight is not always easy and there can be a wide range of factors that might have contributed to your weight gain.  As a nutritional therapist Kerry recognises that each person is an individual who has unique dietary and nutrition needs.  She will work with you to help address the factors that have lead to your weight gain and to provide you with a personalised food plan and lifestyle advice to help you reach your weight loss goals. Likewise, our personal trainer, Nicola, will assess your exercise requirements and develop an exercise programme specialised for your needs and that fits with your lifestyle, whether you’ve never undertaken regular exercise before or you are stuck in an exercise ‘rut’ and want advice on new ways to shake up your work-out and increase the intensity for better results.
We understand that it can be difficult to adjust to a new way of eating and/or starting regular exercise and committing to it on a regular basis which is why we offer email and phone support during your weight loss programme to help keep you motivated and to answer any questions you may have along the way.

Package includes:

  • A one hour nutrition consultation and half hour follow up appointment
  • Three one hour personal training sessions
  • Exercise plan specific to your personal needs
  • Telephone and email support
  • Food diary analysis
  • Realistic and practical advice

Cost: £180

F A Q CHIROPRACTIC

How long does the treatment take?
The first consultation takes, on average, about ¾ of an hour, and a treatment session about 15 minutes, but this will vary according to your condition and your needs.
How long will it take to get better?
Your recovery is dependent on many factors – the problem, the length of time you have had it and your own commitment to any rehabilitation exercises and maintenance visits which your chiropractor may recommend.
How often do I need to come for treatment?
An average course of treatments may entail five or six visits over two or three weeks, but every case is assessed individually, and it is important to keep your appointments, and make regular visits. Discuss this with your chiropractor, who will explain your treatment programme to you.

What is the popping noise of the adjustment?

When the two surfaces of the joint are moved apart rapidly, as happens in chiropractic adjustment, there is a change of pressure within the joint space. This may sometimes cause a bubble of gas to ‘pop’ – but this sound is not significant, and does not hurt.
Will treatment hurt?
Manipulation, when carried out correctly by a qualified practitioner, is not painful. If you have acute muscle spasm, when even the lightest touch hurts, there may be some discomfort. Sometimes, if you have had a problem for some time, you may feel sore whilst your body starts to adjust. Your chiropractor will tell you if this is likely to happen.
What is the difference between Chiropractic and Osteopathy?
There are differences in technique and approach, as well as some similarities. The important factor is that the practitioner is well-qualified. Both professions now have statutory regulation.
Is chiropractic treatment safe? Even if I’ve already had surgery?
Chiropractic is remarkably safe when treatment is carried out by a properly qualified practitioner. Your chiropractor is trained to recognise conditions which require referral elsewhere, and can treat you even after surgery.
