“Turned my Life Around. My lovely friend Helen told me I must get in contact with Jo Abbot because I had been suffering from constant fatigue, low or non existent energy levels and weight gain even tho’ I exercised regularly and ate a healthy diet. In the last few years I had put on 2 stone.I had spoken to my G.P., a nutritionalist in Woking, a consultant in the Hampshire clinic and a dietician in the Hampshire clinic, all of whom told me I was a mother of 3 young children and that was my “problem”. The Consultant even told me that “eating children’s leftover was a big problem for lots of young mothers!!!”. So appalling!In November 2014 Helen was on a yoga retreat and heard “Jo” speaking. Helen kept saying, “Cherie, you have to speak to this lady, she is brilliant, really knows her stuff, she will be able …

Energy levels are much better throughout the day. I find that (not sure this is a good thing) I’m not as hungry now and needing to snack in between meals? I still do feel absolutely shattered at night which i suppose is the more natural way for your body? Im much calmer in the mornings round the kids at that suicide hour haha and less snappy and stressed but can have my anxious moments to. It’s been a while since I’ve felt the need to sit and shut my eyes through the day and I’m managing my classes fine with one or two sessions a week for me also. Joint pain is still there after a hard day in the evenings but I’m sure that’s age and wear and tear.

“I came to the Practical Training Days for personal interest, however I have left ensuring I will integrate in to my business so all my Clients can benefit from these tests.  The best bit was the interaction of the tests, case studies and question & answers with colleagues.”

“Exhausted all Treatments. I had a muscle imbalance which I had tried to correct via numerous methods and treatments without success. I felt I needed a 1-1 assessment which would give me an accurate reading of my problems with a personal regime to counteract it, I was very hopeful with making the appointment. Throughout all the Assessments I was made to feel very relaxed, confirmation mainly of what I knew in relation to what my body was doing, but also a lot more explanation and detail. I got a complete analysis of what was happening, together with a personal exercise programme to isolate the problems and work directly on those areas. All my expectations were met with regards to my expectations. The outcome was very accurate and the exercises provided seem good, but it is taking longer to correct than I anticipated despite following the regime religiously. I can see …

“Finding out the symptoms of a body with a low PH number, this will be something I will test for in the future, and I feel that I can now give my clients advice on how they can change their diet and/or lifestyle to overcome this.”

“Chasing Pain for Years! I had been experiencing various persistent pains for a number of years, which were preventing me from exercising effectively, which was leaving me very frustrated and resulting in consistent weight gain. As a result of biomechanical assessments, Jo was able to explain what was causing these pains, predominantly in my hips and knees. She devised a number of stretches and exercises to correct my movements and muscle weaknesses, and within a couple of weeks I was able to do what I’d missed most – running. As a result of her fitness and biomechanical assessments I have been following a very effective workout program, and am finally shedding the weight that I’d been steadily gaining. My all-round health and fitness have improved dramatically in the last ten weeks. I was no fitness novice, and was fairly informed about exercise and good eating, but Jo has really expanded …

“Neurological Disorder? The muscles in my right leg had disappeared by approximately 60% resulting in an inability to run, ride a bike, walk quickly without the risk of my right foot dragging on the ground and tripping me over. If I made the mistake of trying to run the consequences were an inability to stop if going downhill and serious pain in my pelvis for about 3 weeks. I was rapidly heading towards a walking stick to walk uphill. I saw an article by Jo in the Bournemouth Daily Echo that described my symptoms very closely; a review of the website encouraged me even further; until I saw the price of treatment. However, when I showed this to my wife she said do it, if it works it will be worth every penny. How right she was. I already had a full mainstream investigation 15 years ago that resulted in …

“Motorcycle Accident.  I have known Jo for a couple of years, since she has been working with my daughter Katie.Katie had fallen off her bike a couple of years ago and had then been suffering with severe back pain.So severe that during Katie’s last year at school she was only able to attend a total two months out of the usual ten.Having been to a chiropractic, to have Katie’s bones pulled and pushed and muscles deeply massaged, that worked for all of five minutes and then Katie felt worse than before.Painkillers had no effect, other than now she is intolerant to paracetemol.I then tried Hypnotherapy, thinking that if Katie learnt to relax then maybe that would help. Unfortunately Katie was in so much pain that did not work.The doctors decided that perhaps a blood test would show something. What I have no idea. So after 3 blood tests still nothing. …

“Long Distance Runner needing foot surgery. I’ve always considered myself fit and healthy but like many of us today I have suffered with injuries and ailments, but being a keen long distance runner and gym-goer, I attributed all my troubles to running! No GP, Sports Therapists or fellow PT friends had any answers for me! My body was then pushed to its max and when I attended the FitPro Convention in April 2012, I simply burnt myself out! Luckily for me I met Jo at the convention……. Ive been seeing Jo now for a number of weeks and in pretty much one appointment, Jo knew exactly what the problem was and got me started on the road to recovery! In my first visit Jo diagnosed 27 Biomechanical Dysfunctions , yes that’s right 27!! I was amazed however that by my second appointment a few weeks later, after having been sent …
