Specialised FAQ
Answers to common questions regarding AS and chronic pain management.
What is Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), and how does it affect mobility?
AS is a chronic inflammatory arthritis primarily affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints. It can lead to stiffness and reduced range of motion over time. Our coaching focuses on maintaining spinal mobility through targeted rehabilitation and strength training.
Can I start strength training if I have chronic back pain?
Absolutely. We prioritise low-impact, evidence-based exercises that build core stability without exacerbating pain. Our programmes are tailored to your specific condition and pain levels.
How do nutrition and inflammation relate to AS?
Chronic inflammation is a key driver of AS progression. We provide clinical nutrition guidance to support joint health and reduce systemic inflammation through anti-inflammatory dietary patterns.
What is the difference between a consultation and a coaching program?
A consultation is a one-off, no-commitment session where you can ask questions, gain clarity and be able to talk to someone with many years of experience in the field. Our coaching is a structured, ongoing journey involving 1:1 sessions, designed for long-term management and the best support possible.
Are your digital programmes suitable for home use?
Yes. We have programmes that are designed for remote use, providing you with the tools to maintain your strength and mobility from the comfort of your home.
