Playing for Two

There are moments in an athlete’s career that are life changing; winning your first title, becoming world number 1, or finding out you are going to be a mother. For some female athletes, motherhood can be an exciting time; for others finding out you’re with child can leave more questions than answers. How will this impact my professional career?

Jennifer Chrisophel's Pilates techniques have been a godsend for me. As a person with EDS, Dysautonomia and Mitchondrial Disease, I struggle with both chronic pain and energy issues. Because I've already had 3 spina surgeries, having a strong core is vital to keep me from further injury and more importantly, additional surgeries. When I first began working with Jennifer, I was only able to exercise 15-20 minutes at a time. She worked slowly and methodically to build up my tolerance to the exercises while strengthening my core. It took close to a year, but I can now work at my pace for a full hour. Every day is different for the body of a person with EDS. An exercise that works well one week, may cause pain the next. Jennifer is constantly having to adapt exercises for what my body presents with at any given moment.

I just wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for me over the past few months. You were so easy to talk to about something so personal, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help me through it all.

Miriam, your last treatment did wonders for my shoulder. It had improved with the standard PT, but after seeing you, the relief was exponential, not incremental!! Many thanks! I’m going to my yoga community retreat this week. I’ll be careful. It’s more spiritual than physically demanding, and it’s nice to see the (mostly) ladies. Warm regards, Wilma

Thank you Restore Motion! I was having a difficult time after prostate surgery, not knowing how to recover or how long it would take. After a few sessions my confidence was renewed and after a few weeks I felt like a new man! I am so thankful for your help and guidance through a very difficult time in my life, I would strongly recommend your business to all, thanks again.
