Prehabilitation to rehabilitation

I value Zak not only as someone who looks after my wellbeing but as a friend who puts himself before others. Zak managed my transition from a worn out hip to a shiny new one. He prepared me for the hip replacement and helped with a faster recovery. His holistic approach is backed up by his skills in many areas. My wife and I had already been his clients for years before.  We had benefited from his skills of diagnosis, treatment and analysis of outcomes. As I was getting worse waiting for a hip replacement, he slowed my decline.  He gave me exercises to keep me mobile, strengthening muscles around my hip.  This reduced the pain I experienced. He did therapy on leg muscles which were working harder. He used Kinesio tape to support muscles around back and knees. The benefits of his work were demonstrated on the day after my operation.  I was able to impress the hospital physio and the NHS wanted to send me home that evening. After the operation, he concentrated on making me walk properly.  This impressed the post op NHS physio who thought my movement and my response to new exercise was really good. Zak is to blame for both of these.

I would recommend Zak not only as a PT, but as a therapist, his dietary advice, and councillor.  He sees you not as a body part with a problem but a whole person.

I have worked with Zak for a few years now, having seen him work with clients for many years before that. I began 121s for core and alignment. What I didn't realise was how much more I would gain! I learn so much in every session, not just about anatomy and my body but also from Zak as a wise and wonderful human being. I've gained confidence in body movement when Zak challenges me which has given me the confidence to try new things. He has an amazing understanding of movement and the body and is keen to help me understand this too. I say that everyone needs a bit of Zak in their lives. As a wellness coach and personal trainer myself, I refer my own clients to Zak and would recommend his services to anyone. Even if your goals are to simply move better, prevent injury, have someone review how you move, you will find you get your money's worth time and time again and who doesn't want to live to their 80s and 90s and still be as active as ever? I certainly do! Thank you Zak for your part in that.

Absolutely top notch! I spent years training hard and not feeling like I had gotten the most from my efforts. After a handful of sessions I realised the training I was doing was very different to the places I’d been before. Many of the exercises were the same but the way I was coached to do them was a whole new world to me. Some days I felt like I was starting all over again and I don’t mind saying it felt quite slow for the first few sessions and I even felt a little demoralised by my ability. Almost a year of weekly personal training sessions (it really is much more than personal training though!) and I’m at my fittest ever with no aches and pains. Top notch!

I originally attended a workshop relating to movement hosted by Zak in my local gym and was genuinely staggered by the quality of the information. Having spoken to many therapists, doctors and consultants I asked a question about an existing knee issue and I was given information and advice I had only ever received once before by my final consultant who was reputed to be the UK’s top knee specialist and who’s status was definitely reflected in his fees. I would highly recommend Zak as a first port of call for such consultations. If I'd found him sooner I would have saved hundreds and hundreds of pounds and have gotten to the bottom of my problem much sooner!
