We’re all hunched over keyboards and staring blearily at screens these days. Here are some gentle desk-based stretches to counteract that.

Ouch! Low back pain. What you need to do right now (and later) to help.

I love your kickboxing class!! I can’t believe how much I enjoy it. I love the challenge of the classes, the power I feel during the classes and how I’m so energized for the rest of the day. Meghan is a great instructor – very knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend Meghan and her classes to anyone! Love them!!

It has been a pleasure working out once weekly with Meghan following a left wrist fracture. I was referred to Meghan as a certified Osteofit trainer as I, like many women of my age, have osteopenia, and I have had multiple fractures over the years despite being active with cycling, paddling and skiing. My goal was to increase my core and overall strength, which would have the added benefit of improving my bone density. However my body overall thanks Meghan! At age 66 years, I had had bothersome neck pain and reduced mobility of my neck for well over a year. Quite miraculously, after a couple of weeks of training I realised that my neck pain had gone and has not recurred! I find that I am [...] lifting increasing weight with absolutely no discomfort.

As both a client and a physician who has worked with patients with neuromuscular diseases throughout my career, I would highly recommend Meghan as a personal trainer for an exercise enthusiast, but as well for someone who is less fit with an issue with neck, shoulder or low back pain or possibly a recent or remote injury. Meghan has the skills and experience to work with the mechanical issues contributing to the pain, and design an exercise directed program to recovery. I personally feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Meghan in my recovery from an injury.
