stages of change & corrective exercises
No Pain, No Gain
“getting you on track & keeping you there”
with Ford King
stages of change
1. PRECONTEMPLATION STAGE
“It isn’t that we cannot see the solution. It’s that we cannot see the problem.”
2. CONTEMPLATION STAGE
“You know your destination, and even how to get there, but you’re not ready to go.”
The end of contemplation stage is a time of ANTICIPATION, ACTIVITY, ANXIETY, and EXCITEMENT.
3. PREPARATION STAGE
Most people in the preparation stage are planning to take action and are making the final adjustments before they begin to change their behaviour.
Have not yet resolved their AMBIVALENCE.
Still need a little convincing.
4. ACTION STAGE
Stage where people overtly modify their behaviour and their surroundings.
Make the move for which they have been preparing.
Requires the greatest commitment of time and energy.
5. MAINTENANCE STAGE
Without a strong commitment to maintenance, there will surely be relapse, usually to precontemplation or contemplation stage.
“Slips give us the opportunity to learn & Grow”.
You must make the CHOICE

Throughout the time working with me I will help you balance the stages of change and help you achieve your goals working through the daily struggles. We all know what its like to have a horrible day, feel like we are not getting anywhere and think it is easier to quit.
It’s my job and commitment to you, to help you help yourself.
Corrective exercises
Exercising is not just about lifting heavy or stressing our body to the point of injury, exercise is about performing the techniques correctly and ensuring maximum benefits to our bodies.
Corrective Exercise is a technique that leverages an understanding of anatomy, kinesiology, and biomechanics to address and fix movement compensations and imbalances to improve the overall quality of movement during workouts and in everyday life.
I use corrective exercise to help assess and determine the root cause of imbalances and faulty movement patterns that lead to issues with posture, balance, and total body coordination.
Once we identify the issue/s, I can then develop an exercise routine that addresses the problem through foam rolling, stretching, and total body exercises.
By addressing your functional movement and the issues impeding it, especially at your feet, knees, and hips, it helps reduce the stress put on your body. By properly aligning the body, corrective exercises help it to handle the load that everyday movement puts on it and helps reduce the risk of future injury.
