After more than forty years in Science education, retirement was supposed to be a time for relaxation.
However, shortly after turning 70, I began to experience persistent lower back pain on the left side and neck pain.
An MRI and X-ray revealed spondylotic changes at L1-L2, L3-L4, and L4-L5, with additional osteophytes at C4-C5, C5-C6, and C6-C7.
Stenosis and nerve root compression were also identified at C6 and C7.
This diagnosis was further compounded, when a year later, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my lumbar spine (-2.8), femoral neck (-2.9), with osteopenia in my hip (-1.8).
To make matters worse I was experiencing extremely low energy levels.
These diagnoses left me devastated.
I found it hard to imagine a future where I wouldn’t be living with chronic pain.
However, determined to take control of my condition, I embarked on a search for solutions.
I began chiropractic treatments and continued my weekly Pilates classes, which offered temporary relief but failed to provide the long-term solution I was seeking.
During my search, I stumbled upon Personal Training Master “Osteoporosis Reversal Program” which is run by Jazz Alessi.
Jazz’s website impressed me with its scientific depth and its emphasis on personal training as a means of managing osteoporosis.
The testimonials from individuals with similar experiences of back pain resonated with me and gave me hope.
Since I suffer both from back pain and osteoporosis, I wanted both a top osteoporosis specialist near me and a personal trainer specialist in back pain rehabilitation to work with me at my location, I did not want to travel in town.
I submitted an inquiry and Jazz himself reached out to me.
We had a lengthy conversation about my condition and his approach was both professional and compassionate.
His deep understanding of my diagnosis and the way he tailored his exercise plans to meet individual needs gave me confidence.
He reassured me that the program would be customized based on a comprehensive questionnaire I needed to complete.
Jazz even took time to visit me personally for a consultation, which further solidified my trust in him.
Once I started the rehabilitation training, I was amazed at how safe and supported I felt.
- Throughout the rehabilitation training I did not experience any flare-ups or any negative incidents, and Jazz helped me progress steadily.
- As training continued, I noticed a significant reduction in my pain.
Halfway through the program, I became increasingly mindful of my posture especially while walking.
- My lower back pain started to ease, and I experienced pain-free days more often-eventually from two to four days per week.
- My neck pain almost disappeared entirely.
One of the most notable achievements was in my upper body strength.
When I started, I could only complete 8 – 10 rowing repetitions with poor form.
- By the end of the program, I was able to do 30 repetitions (twice) with excellent form, and a 25% increase in resistance.
- My strength improved by 200% and I became more toned and physically capable.
- Not only did my endurance increase – I could train 30 minutes longer without feeling exhausted-but my training volume (sets and repetitions) doubled.
The exercises Jazz developed for me targeted my entire body, helping not only my muscles and joints but also stimulating bone adaptation to resist osteoporosis.
Beyond the physical improvements, I experienced significant psychological benefits:
- My energy levels increased by at least 70% and I felt more positive and motivated.
- Improved posture gave me a better body image and a deeper sense of satisfaction.
- My sleep quality improved dramatically, and I rarely suffer from restless nights.
- More importantly, my outlook on life became more hopeful, with reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety.
- Throughout the program, I not only found relief from chronic pain but also regained control of my life.
From the start Jazz’s client focused approach was evident.
He carefully discussed the answers to my questionnaire and showed genuine empathy for my situation.
His customized exercise plan addressed my specific needs, and his extensive knowledge and professionalism ensued I stayed on the right track.
My personal experience has been that if you are struggling with an osteoporosis diagnosis and pain, a personal trainer London osteoporosis specialist will help you safely to get strong, agile, flexible and back on your feet.
I would highly recommend Jazz Alessi to anyone who is looking for a first-rate professional who understands how to effectively manage conditions like osteoporosis and chronic pain.
