“The graded exercise for me has been very important – because it was scientific and because we only made small incremental changes it gave me something to look forward to and gave me measurable results in terms of my improvement. It stopped my boom and bust cycle because of this and took away the stress; previously I worried about having relapses from doing too much and if I did feel unwell I would stress about whether to carry on or stop. This took the stress out of the situation because the increases were so incremental that I knew any reaction would settle down. Also because we never went backwards this was a big moral booster. I also think you blend well a coaching based approach where the client is encouraged in a safe environment to find their own answers and instruction. Recovery is possible.”
