Welcome to Exercise Therapy
Perhaps you have tried other types of therapy and been disappointed. Most therapies focus intently on the areas of your body where you feel the pain. Yet, those aches and pains just never seem to disappear. The answer lies in neurology.
Exercise Therapy – Discover the Source of Your Pain
You're not alone in this journey, and I am here to support you every step of the way!
Your incredible nervous system is like a magnificent tree that connects every aspect of your body. Imagine the beauty and complexity of an upside-down tree, with its branches reaching out to every limb, finger, and toe. It's amazing to think that everything in your body is interconnected, just like the branches of a tree.
This very interconnectedness is the reason past injuries and surgeries can leave a lasting impact on your body. Understanding this allows us to uncover the true source of your pain and help you find relief. So often, my clients are surprised to discover that a scar on their torso from an appendectomy or C-section is the cause of their back pain.
Stranger still, that strained ankle from 20 years ago may be the reason you are now considering hip surgery. The good news? It isn’t too late to restore full function to your ankle and avoid that painful hip replacement.
About Anne
Twenty years ago, I started my career in health and wellness as an aquatic therapist at the Sheba Rehabilitation Hospital in Israel. I worked with victims of accidents and those suffering chronic illness.
Pain was what they had in common. I could see it in the way they moved and in the lines around their mouth and eyes.
I would assist them into the warm water and then wait while they got their bearings, submerging themselves, until the water touched their chin.
After a few moments it always happened. The metamorphosis. A calmness. Their faces would relax, the lines fade and often a smile would appear. You see, in the warm therapy pool, no one felt pain.
Fast forward to 2012. I was working in a therapy pool in Canada. Sarah was only 18. She was in excruciating pain.
For two years, her medical treatment consisted of pain medications and the words, “You will get used to the Pain”.
Her family and we, her team of therapists, refused to accept the medical verdict. With time, patience and effort, Sarah healed and returned to a full active life.
Why don’t people feel any pain in warm water? How could the medical professionals be so wrong when condemning someone to a life of chronic pain?
Unable to let go of these questions, in 2016, I hung up my swimsuit, certified as a personal trainer and began to study the neurology of pain and movement.
Pain is not normal and you never get used to it
I founded Exercise with Care in 2016 with a passion to change the conversation and treatment of chronic pain. It's a mission that's deeply personal to me, and I am filled with immense pride when I see the impact on my clients.
Neurology has truly been a game changer in my understanding of the human body and its remarkable ability to heal. It's a field that I find endlessly fascinating, and I am constantly amazed by the progress in research over recent years. Witnessing the transformation of my clients brings tears to my eyes.
To see someone who has been struggling with chronic pain for years finally regain their vitality and zest for life is an incredible feeling.
I believe that every person deserves to live a life free from the limitations of pain. I am committed to helping you achieve this goal through knowledge, movement and joy.
I am so grateful and honored to be a finalist for a Richmond Hill Board of Trade Business Achievement Award.
