Testimonials

My health had deteriorated slowly over the years after numerous work injuries and I had become emotionally destroyed and physically exhausted. I had little motivation after trying so hard to find solutions and answers without any success. As a father of seven children, it’s very depressing being injured, unemployed and not contributing any superannuation. With no skills after relying on my body and physical energy for so many years to earn a living I had no idea what I could do.

I started a program with Fitco and during my initial assessment I told them about all my injuries that had been giving me problems. I informed them that I had had many previous treatments including physiotherapy and acupuncture which provided temporary pain relief. They were very understanding and helpful; providing a program that would not make my injury any worse or aggravate my pain.

I was allowed to work at a level that I was comfortable with and this helped ease all the stress and anxiety that I was feeling before starting the program. I was very worried about my injuries getting worse, not being able to handle the exercises or being mistreated as I once felt with an earlier program with a different provider.

I was given the motivation and encouragement to push myself during the program, and even though I was sore after some sessions they phoned me to make sure I was coping with the different stretches, exercises and postural corrections. I was treated with so much respect and in a non judgemental way, that gave me the confidence to look forward to attending the sessions and finding out what my body can handle.

I will use all that I learnt during the program at home now to continue to try to improve and build up my fitness to further increase my work hours. I wish to thank all the staff at Fitco Health Technologies who were so professional and I hope to return one day when I am employed back full time in a suitable position to thank them personally.

Having already tried a couple of treatment programs in the past that didn’t help at all, I was skeptical to how Fitco Health Technologies would be any different. I had become used to the constant pain that I have had for the past 7 years and did not believe that it could change. I felt so restricted in my life with what I could do physically and I was afraid to try in case my pain might get worse.

Since commencing the Self Management Activity Program, my pain has already reduced significantly. I feel more confident walking further and for longer periods. I am more flexible and when pain does increase I know how to manage it.  I would recommend this program to anyone who that has suffered an injury and feels restricted with their life.

Before commencing the treatment program, I was having difficulty doing basic things around the house such as putting washing on the clothes line. Bending over to pick up things and walking or standing for longer than 15 minutes was incredibly painful. Now my pain is so much lower and I am able to move more freely.

I continue to perform the exercises and techniques learned during the program and believe they will help me manage any back pain I may have in the future and prevent further injuries. I would recommend it to my family, friends and colleagues or anyone who has back pain.
