I made an appointment with a biocinetics expert.

They specialise in getting your body into the best shape it can be. They work with your doc to ensure that they do it safe.

He will take all my medical history in consideration and even  want  my test results. He will then work out an exercise program just for me.

Let me know if you have dealt with one and how it went.

Sounds good Des.  Thanks Galvo for the link.  I like the idea of working with someone who is a bit of a hybrid between a personal trainer and a physiotherapist and who will monitor you and individualize your exercise program.  As always in professions, there are likely some individuals who are better than others but I'd definitely give it a shot Des.   :flower;
