Many studies have shown that exercise is a vital part of managing a variety of limiting conditions. Some of the benefits of regular exercise include: Reduced pain, Increased range of motion, Better balance, Improved mobility and an overall sense of well-being.
Getting the appropriate level and type of exercise, however, can be a problem. Physical Therapy is an option, but it may be too expensive or unavailable in the long term. Fitness Centers can be intimidating, risky and generally not compatible with people having Special Needs. Personal Trainers may be helpful, but they generally have limited experience in working with limiting conditions. Empathy for the client may also be lacking.
RDP Studio is, however, uniquely focused on providing this type of Special Needs Personal Training. This is what I do ! The facility provides safe and comfortable surroundings. It is equipped to support a wide range of exercises with limiting conditions in mind. Even the exercise machines have been customized so they can be set for little or no resistance if needed. My Studio is a private facility where I am the only trainer. I have been working as a certified Exercise Specialist since 1997. My own Osteoarthritis also helps me relate to many of my clients.
