On January 1st this year I sustained a bad spinal injury to my back after a jump from a rock into the water, I fractured T12 and had a burst vertebrae at L1 with some compression of the spinal cord. I have two Titanium rods and four Pedicular screw in situ from T11 to L1.
I was very lucky to escape paralysis but knew I had to surrender to a long recovery.
My recovery went very well and four months after my operation I was ready physically and psychologically for overall bodywork. I chose to do a private class weekly with Total Pilates Solution [Fit Pilates Al Ain] for this work.
Thuy Burritt’s skills and professional knowledge are obvious from the outset, in assessing my overall range of movement, all the time making sure I was feeling comfortable and not in any discomfort, we worked within my pain free range. This gave me great confidence in this part of my recovery. I actually felt better from the start of this overall body strengthening and stretching. Within a few short weeks I felt my strength recover and was becoming more flexible. I am able to do the exercises to an ability I did not think would be possible. It is challenging but so rewarding. I go away feeling pretty chuffed with myself and the routine she has put me through on the Reformer.
Thuy herself is an inspiration in her professional approach, her knowledge of the body, posture, alignment as well as her physical ability and strength. I would highly recommend her for Rehabilitation work or whether you just want to get fit or challenge yourself to improve.
I certainly have been inspired and delighted she has been part of my recovery.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
