Member of the month for March 2012

Connor Stewart

Why did you originally attend MD Health?

I had trouble running and playing sports.  My doctor diagnosed me with joint hypermobility which means I am very flexible but it makes it hard for me to play sport.  I had low muscle strength and was very uncoordinated. I joined MD health to get stronger and build some muscle.

Why do you keep coming back to MD Health?

I keep coming back because MD health is making a difference to my life.  I am getting stronger, and know I can get even better. I am also having lots of fun, I enjoy the exercises and the trainers are great.

What do you enjoy most at MD Health?

The exercises and feeling stronger.

What’s the biggest surprise benefit you have found?

I am more active (in that I want to go outside and play) and now even enjoy sport.  something I always avoided.

Any other comments?

My doctor said that he sees many kids come through the children’s hospital with hypomobility and they find it hard to help them.  He was stunned at the changes in me after 3 months and impressed with MD Health’s program.

Kind regards,
