We can help you develop a highly effective exercise strategy to keep you active and improve your quality of life by being in control of your physical health. At Nicky Snazell Clinic we will ensure that you are safe and ready to start exercising and a program will be tailored to your needs. This program must contain specific stretches and exercises – prescribed only to you. Never, ever use someone else’s prescription as it may make you worse. You need both a balanced body with good core strength and to minimise damaging abnormal stress. Studies have shown a 67% improvement when the rehab program has been prescribed by a physiotherapist.

Why Exercise?

Most people have a negative picture of exercise, picturing heavy exertion in a gym and often only link exercise with weight loss. But numerous studies have shown that even minor effort, such as walking 30 minutes a day can drastically reduce your risk to disease and premature death.


The statistics are overwhelming. Many of today’s diseases are preventable – cancer, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis to name a few, and exercise is a key component of prevention. Similar studies have recorded just as much benefit for mindset. Exercise stimulates the release of endorphins, our bodies natural pain killer and many times stronger than morphine. Endorphins also give a natural ‘feel good’ response. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety and depression. A huge fear amongst many is Alzheimer’s or dementia in later life. One study on over 65’s recorded a 50% decrease in Alzheimer’s amongst those who exercised regularly. Exercise had also been shown to improve memory and reduce dementia.

Lastly, exercise will help reduce weight. This in itself has huge beneficial implications to physical health and mindset.
